Bug description:
  In Dell or ThinkPad (for these you need a kernel which includes fix
  for lp:1574498) notebooks with keyboard backlight, the keybindings to
  control the keyboard backlight don't emit any event to the userland,
  about the state change, nor they request userland to change it (as it
  happens in other models which emits KEY_KBDILLUM{UP,DOWN,TOGGLE}
  events), this causes unity/gnome-settings daemon not to restore the
  proper backlight after idle.

  Steps to reproduce:
   0) ensure your keyboard backlight is on, and
   gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.UPower \
    --object-path /org/freedesktop/UPower/KbdBacklight \
    --method org.freedesktop.UPower.KbdBacklight.GetBrightness
  returns a value != from 0. If not, just call the SetBrightness
  method with a positive value, to turn on the backlight.

  Now turn off the keyboard backlight (or set it to another level)
  using the laptop keys, and run:
   gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 1
  to make things easier to test.

   2) Wait one second and the screensaver should start. Wait the screen to
  be turned off. If you just changed the brightness level at the step above,
  once the screen is turned off, also the keyboard backlight should be 
turned off too.

   3) Now press a key or move the mouse.

  Expected behavior:

   4) The keyboard backlight should be set back to the previous level (so it 
should stay off
  or go back to the level you set before the idle timeout happened).

  Actual behavior:

   5) The backlight is set to the level it had at point 0).

  
  To reset the idle-delay, just call
gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay

The upower Xenial task is Fix Committed, but there is no package in 
xenial-proposed!
Is the task closed or not?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1583861] Re: Keyboard backlight isn't properly restored after idle on systems with hardwired configuration

[Grzegorz Ciołek]

Hi all,
I've got Dell Latitude E7470:

#uname -a
Linux E7470 4.4.0-31-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 13 00:07:12 UTC 2016 x86_64 
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

#dpkg -s upower | grep -i 'status\|version'
Status: install ok installed
Version: 0.99.4-2ubuntu0.3

#dpkg -s unity-settings-daemon | grep -i 'status\|version'
Status: install ok installed
Version: 15.04.1+16.04.20160701-0ubuntu1

My Keyboard lights all time (doesn't time-out). I can disable it by
FN+F10, but it will light again after boot/resume/unlock-weak-up. When I
boot to BIOS all is OK. It time-outs after 10 seconds.

Should I perform any additional steps (i.e. packages reconfiguration) ?


Regards
Grzesiek

Bug description:
  In Dell or ThinkPad (for these you need a kernel which includes fix
  for lp:1574498) notebooks with keyboard backlight, the keybindings to
  control the keyboard backlight don't emit any event to the userland,
  about the state change, nor they request userland to change it (as it
  happens in other models which emits KEY_KBDILLUM{UP,DOWN,TOGGLE}
  events), this causes unity/gnome-settings daemon not to restore the
  proper backlight after idle.

  Steps to reproduce:
   0) ensure your keyboard backlight is on, and
   gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.UPower \
    --object-path /org/freedesktop/UPower/KbdBacklight \
    --method org.freedesktop.UPower.KbdBacklight.GetBrightness
  returns a value != from 0. If not, just call the SetBrightness
  method with a positive value, to turn on the backlight.

  Now turn off the keyboard backlight (or set it to another level)
  using the laptop keys, and run:
   gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 1
  to make things easier to test.

   2) Wait one second and the screensaver should start. Wait the screen to
  be turned off. If you just changed the brightness level at the step above,
  once the screen is turned off, also the keyboard backlight should be 
turned off too.

   3) Now press a key or move the mouse.

  Expected behavior:

   4) The keyboard backlight should be set back to the previous level (so it 
should stay off
  or go back to the level you set before the idle timeout happened).

  Actual behavior:

   5) The backlight is set to the level it had at point 0).

  
  To reset the idle-delay, just call
gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay

  Keyboard backlight isn't properly restored after idle on systems with

Bug description:
  In Dell or ThinkPad (for these you need a kernel which includes fix
  for lp:1574498) notebooks with keyboard backlight, the keybindings to
  control the keyboard backlight don't emit any event to the userland,
  about the state change, nor they request userland to change it (as it
  happens in other models which emits KEY_KBDILLUM{UP,DOWN,TOGGLE}
  events), this causes unity/gnome-settings daemon not to restore the
  proper backlight after idle.

  Steps to reproduce:
   0) ensure your keyboard backlight is on, and
   gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.UPower \
    --object-path /org/freedesktop/UPower/KbdBacklight \
    --method org.freedesktop.UPower.KbdBacklight.GetBrightness
  returns a value != from 0. If not, just call the SetBrightness
  method with a positive value, to turn on the backlight.

  Now turn off the keyboard backlight (or set it to another level)
  using the laptop keys, and run:
   gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 1
  to make things easier to test.

   2) Wait one second and the screensaver should start. Wait the screen to
  be turned off. If you just changed the brightness level at the step above,
  once the screen is turned off, also the keyboard backlight should be 
turned off too.

   3) Now press a key or move the mouse.

  Expected behavior:

   4) The keyboard backlight should be set back to the previous level (so it 
should stay off
  or go back to the level you set before the idle timeout happened).

  Actual behavior:

   5) The backlight is set to the level it had at point 0).

  
  To reset the idle-delay, just call
gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay

   0) ensure your keyboard backlight is on, and
   gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.UPower \
    --object-path /org/freedesktop/UPower/KbdBacklight \
    --method org.freedesktop.UPower.KbdBacklight.GetBrightness
  returns a value != from 0. If not, just call the SetBrightness
  method with a positive value, to turn on the backlight.

  Now turn off the keyboard backlight (or set it to another level)
  using the laptop keys, and run:
   gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 1
  to make things easier to test.

   2) Wait one second and the screensaver should start. Wait the screen to
  be turned off. If you just changed the brightness level at the step above,
  once the screen is turned off, also the keyboard backlight should be 
turned off too.

   3) Now press a key or move the mouse.

  Expected behavior:

   4) The keyboard backlight should be set back to the previous level (so it 
should stay off
  or go back to the level you set before the idle timeout happened).

  Actual behavior:

   5) The backlight is set to the level it had at point 0).

  
  To reset the idle-delay, just call
gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1583861] Re: Keyboard backlight isn't properly restored after idle on systems with hardwired configuration

[Treviño]

** Description changed:

  In Dell or ThinkPad (for these you need a kernel which includes fix for
  lp:1574498) notebooks with keyboard backlight, the keybindings to
  control the keyboard backlight don't emit any event to the userland,
  about the state change, nor they request userland to change it (as it
  happens in other models which emits KEY_KBDILLUM{UP,DOWN,TOGGLE}
  events), this causes unity/gnome-settings daemon not to restore the
  proper backlight after idle.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
   0) ensure your keyboard backlight is on, and
   gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.UPower \
    --object-path /org/freedesktop/UPower/KbdBacklight \
    --method org.freedesktop.UPower.KbdBacklight.GetBrightness
  returns a value != from 0. If not, just call the SetBrightness
  method with a positive value, to turn on the backlight.
  
  Now turn off the keyboard backlight (or set it to another level)
  using the laptop keys, and run:
   gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 1
  to make things easier to test.
  
   2) Wait one second and the screensaver should start. Wait the screen to
  be turned off. If you just changed the brightness level at the step above,
  once the screen is turned off, also the keyboard backlight should be 
turned off too.

  Expected behavior:
  
   4) The keyboard backlight should be set back to the previous level (so it 
should stay off
  or go back to the level you set before the idle timeout happened).
  
  Actual behavior:
