Boot a laptop. 2. Set a different screen (or keyboard) backlight brightness level. 3. Reboot. RESULT: Backlight is not memorized. FIX: A. For Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and 14.04 LTS install my package from PPA sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nrbrtx/sysvinit-backlight sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sysvinit-backlight NOTES: 1. If you have installed previous non-deb version, please remove it carefully manually sudo rm /etc/rc?.d/?25backlight /etc/init.d/brightness /etc/rc?.d/?25brightness 2. If you have installed previous version from my PPA on Ubuntu 14.04, please reinstall the package by: sudo apt-get purge sysvinit-backlight sudo apt-get install sysvinit-backlight 3. Version 0.1ubuntu1 supports save/restore of keyboard backlight too. B. Ubuntu 14.10 is near EOL (really in July 2015), so users should upgrade it to Ubuntu 15.04 (see C below). My script seems to be incompatible with this Ubuntu version - remove it with sudo apt-get purge sysvinit-backlight sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:nrbrtx/sysvinit-backlight C. Ubuntu 15.04 has systemd-backlight@.service. It saves and restores screen and keyboard backlight levels. My script is incompatible with this Ubuntu version.
