In 2.22.0-0ubuntu2 it would appear that both sliders are gone, I see only a slider to control screen blanking delay.
Is something like https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec /backlight-brightness-simplicity in the works? I.e. gpm managed back light brightness is determined during day to day adjustment. If so, I think it would still be good to have the sliders, for those who aren't aware of the keyboard shortcuts. It may be too late for hardy. I would propose two sliders, one for mains mode and one for battery. Each slider controls back light brightness, from 0 to 100%. There is no reason I see that the back light must be dimmer on battery than on mains, it is just common practice. Having each slider have the same effect simplifies the mental workload and provides greater control. Use case: 1. Alice charges her laptop in a dimly lit lab, whilst uploading field work. She has the back light set low to avoid glare. 2. Once charged she takes the laptop off mains and outside into bright daylight. She sets the back light to full brightness to gather data in the field, this level is stored by gpm as the default for battery mode. 3. Later the sun sets, she dims the back light, this level is stored as the default for battery mode. 4. Upon returning to the lab Alice places the laptop on charge, the original back light brightness is restored to the that stored for mains mode. -- [hardy] Battery brightness slider gone https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
