Ryan Thompson, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (the release names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.
If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested exactly shown as: kernel-fixed-upstream-3.18-rc4 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: latest-bios-a15 maverick precise regression-release -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/720912 Title: Maverick (through Precise) regression: Dell M1330 backlight brightness messed up Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The Dell M1330 backlight has exactly 8 levels of brightness. I expect each press of the brightness adjustment keys to change the brightness by one level. When I use the keyboard to adjust the brightness in GNOME, it sometimes changes by one level, and sometimes changes by two levels. In Karmic, the buttons worked like I have describe above. In Lucid, everything worked correctly. In Maverick (and every subsequent release at least through Precise), we're back to the same behavior as in Karmic. So this is a regression in functionality. --- Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427.1) NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia wl Package: acpid 1:2.0.7-1ubuntu2 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/zsh ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-11.48-generic 2.6.38.8 Tags: natty running-unity Uname: Linux 2.6.38-11-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout fuse lpadmin plugdev sambashare --- ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: ryan 2465 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=e00b6e22-9d5b-45f4-a861-8fa38e5ae470 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-06-15 (153 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140417) MachineType: Dell Inc.
