Public bug reported: Hello,
I just upgraded to Karmic. After I closed my laptop screen (which causes the backlight to come off) and opened it again, the screen would come up with no backlight, which lets you see nearly nothing of the screen. The same happened when resuming from suspend, and sometimes when the screen was off automatically to save energy. I switched kernel mode setting off (added "nomodeset" to the "kopt" line in /boot/grub/menu.lst) and now it works ok. Thanks, Noam ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: noam 2838 F.... pulseaudio CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Card0.Amixer.info: Card hw:0 'I82801DBICH4'/'Intel 82801DB-ICH4 with AD1981B at irq 17' Mixer name : 'Analog Devices AD1981B' Components : 'AC97a:41445374' Controls : 28 Simple ctrls : 20 Date: Wed Oct 14 09:55:22 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 Lsusb: Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0458:0007 KYE Systems Corp.
