Hmm, not that any human will ever read this -- but I found that this is caused *somewhere* by gnome-power-manager.
By removing it from my start-up applications, my screen starts at full brightness (although I have no control over the brightness with the hardware controls) -- but once I start gnome-power-manager or an application that uses it (e.g. the the Update Manager or the Power Management menu) -- then my screen returns to its normal relative darkness. If I had more faith in the Ubuntu bug reporting system, then I would file another bug specifically for gnome-power-manager; however, I have grown to expect absolutely nothing from this process except verbal abuse from developers. -- Brightness too low on Dell Vostro https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/636672 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
