added a duplicate bug generated by ubuntu-bug. is there a way to make it upload the information to a specific bug and not make a new bug entry? or is it fine to just make duplicates? should I also make one using the newest kernel? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member

will do, as soon as I get it booting into ubuntu again. Apparently update-grub (or rather grub-probe) doesn't work when chrooting into a root partition if it's btrfs, so I'm gonna try booting through a efi booter from another computer running the same kernelversion of 14.04.. I'm quite pissed a

Sorry, I don't think the backlight problem on the V5-171 is a regression. I've never had it work as expected. I've now tried the acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" test, to see if this machine could be added to the temporary blacklist. I.e. whether my bug was a regression caused when Linux added the "Wind

Sorry I've been neglecting this (and my original report may have fluffed the detail). This is Windows 8 hardware. Manually poking the intel_backlight driver in sysfs (echo 100 | sudo tee /sys/class/intel_backlight/brightness) works fine. So for now I'm assuming the problem is what's referred to

That is, I'm hoping the brightness keys will work (e.g. under KDE) when using the commit "ACPI / video / i915: No ACPI backlight if firmware expects Windows 8". With the non-working acpi_backlight removed, KDE would use the working intel_backlight instead. -- You received this bug notification b
