Commenting on #18: Checking the brightness script (POSIX-incompatible bashisms etc.), my system says: # checkbashisms brightness possible bashism in brightness line 30 (unsafe echo with backslash): echo \tloading $saved_controller_name possible bashism in brightness line 40 (unsafe echo with backslash): echo \tsaving $controller_name possible bashism in brightness line 50 (unsafe echo with backslash): echo \tCurrent brightness level for $controller_name is $(cat $controller/brightness) possible bashism in brightness line 58 (unsafe echo with backslash): echo \tSaved brightness level for $saved_controller_name is $(cat $saved_file) (should probably prefer using the printf helper for that, since a \t control code might possibly require echo -e, yet availability of sufficiently compatible echo -e possibly isn't guaranteed) Also some variable uses are not -quoted, which will cause issues in case of space-containing filesystem items (which is somewhat unlikely to be encountered in the case of firmly Linux-managed /proc or /sys entries, but still...). And some path strings are openly duplicated rather than assigned to helper variables. All in all these are fairly minor issues, and I didn't runtime test the script anyway.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1270579] Re: Ubuntu should have an upstart job for saving/restoring backlight level on laptops
Dear all! According to the list of duplicates and bug heat this bug/feature request is very important. As you know laptop market share is gigantic (see for example http://www.statista.com/statistics/276772/ultrabook-share-of-global-notebook-market-since-2011/ for stats). Also Ubuntu and Debian market share are increasing. So I can't believe why this usability fault exists in Ubuntu (and Debian) for years. It seems that guys from `systemd` understand the problem correctly (sooner or later - on 14 Aug 2013, see https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commits/56f64d95763a799ba4475daf44d8e9f72a1bd474/src/backlight/backlight.c ), but `upstart` and `sysvinit` developers not. As you can remember I tried to fix the problem by myself - I created first version of an init script for saving and restoring backlight level (on 10 Dec 2012 - two years ago). It had one disadvantage - it operates only when laptop has one graphical adaptor and its name was hardcoded to the script (*acpi_video0* in my case). So today I present new version of a script - it can save and restore backlight levels of all graphical, adaptors, which are found in `/sys/class/backlight/*`. The init script with symlink are packed to archive (see attachment). If you have installed its previous version (see comment #15) - you can remove its files with commands: sudo rm /etc/rc?.d/?25backlight /etc/init.d/brightness then extract new version with commands: sudo tar -zxvf upstart_brightness.tar.gz -C / I hope my script will help somebody.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1270579] Re: Ubuntu should have an upstart job for saving/restoring backlight level on laptops
Cody, the current version of my script works only with one graphical adapter (its brightness file is named /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness). You can customize this value in my script at row 16 BRIGHTNESS_CONTROL=/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness to path which is *correct* for your hardware. Correct path may be determined by the following steps: 1. List all paths with brightness file in /sys/class/backlight dir with the command ls /sys/class/backlight/*/brightness example: /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video1/brightness 2a. Read values of brightness from files with the command: cat /sys/class/backlight/*/brightness example: 3 8 2b. Change backlight level with hardware keys (Fn+...) and read again: cat /sys/class/backlight/*/brightness example: 4 8 2c. The *correct* path to brightness control file corresponds to the changed value. example: /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness # first value changed, so first file 3. Try to write brightness level manually to *correct* brightness file: sudo su echo 3 /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness # example on my hardware 4. Change BRIGHTNESS_CONTROL variable to the *correct* path in /etc/init.d/brightness with the command sudo gedit /etc/init.d/brightness I'll update my script soon to do all steps automatically. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to sysvinit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1270579 Title: Ubuntu should have an upstart job for saving/restoring backlight level on laptops Status in elementary OS: New Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu MATE: Opinion Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in sysvinit package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in sysvinit package in Debian: New Bug description: I have tested many distros - Arch, OpenSuSe 13.1, Fedora 20, ALT Linux p7, Sabayon, Mageia 4.

I made symlinks for it: ln -s /etc/init.d/brightness /etc/rc0.d/S25backlight ln -s /etc/init.d/brightness /etc/rcS.d/S25backlight ln -s /etc/init.d/brightness /etc/rc6.d/S25backlight For details you can read my comment on askubuntu (http://askubuntu.com/a/227553/66509). I think that having a script for saving and restoring backlight level is very useful for laptop Ubuntu users. So, please, add such init script to default Ubuntu installation.
