Public bug reported:
A recent change to 13.10 has broken userspace control of the keyboard
backlight on my MacbookPro3,1. This was working well until about a week
ago (1st week of October 2013).
The backlight device in the kernel still works; for example this will turn off
the keyboard backlight:
echo 0 | sudo tee -a /sys/class/leds/smc\:\:kbd_backlight/brightness
Therefore I assume it's a gnome-settings-daemon (or upower?) regression.
To reproduce:
1) Login. Note the state of the keyboard backlight (should beon, 100%)
2) Press a keyboard backlight hotkey
Expected results:
Keyboard backlight changes when you press the hotkey
Actual results:
Nothing happens when you press any of the keyboard backlight hotkeys
