[Bug 1099115] Re: Can't change brightness while screen is locked
Is this a usability issue? I'd like to be able to turn off the backlight to listen to music in the dark. When I come back to turn the brightness up, the screen is locked and the brightness control doesn't work. I have to blindly enter in my password (yikes?). If I didn't realize that the screen was locked a reset would be the only fix. That doesn't seem very user friendly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1099115 Title: Can't change brightness while screen is locked To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1099115/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1099115] Re: Can't change brightness while screen is locked
I'm affected too. Basically I'm trying to use physical volume knob of external USB DAC to manipulate the volume of the sound. But since the screen is locked the knob is not working.. till I unlock the screen. The things become even more frustrating when I use the Power settings and set Do nothing option when you close the lid of the laptop. However when I close the lid what's happen is lock the screen (it turns it off, which is OK) but it also disables the external control. It would be great if sound control is allowed while the screen is locked and also some of the FN+key controls. P.S. Let me know if there is known workaround (like adding some udev rule, permission or configuration). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1099115 Title: Can't change brightness while screen is locked To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1099115/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

luca, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. This is reproducible on disparate hardware in Trusty, so this would appear a general issue. This may be intentional, so for now I'm going to mark this as a Wishlist. I'm not terribly sure the underlying part responsible so I'll leave this to the Ubuntu X team to comment more to this one way or another.

also not only the brightness, but neither of the function keys works on locked screen (like sleep, volume, etc..) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1099115 Title: Can't change brightness while screen is locked To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1099115/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
