Based on the info available here and how to set up a script to run during the startup process and the resume process (from suspend/hiberate modes), here it goes a work around for this bug:
1) create a script under /etc/init.d by the following command: sudo gedit /etc/init.d/fix_backlinght With the content above: #! /bin/sh echo "Fixing backlight for Gateway NV78" setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=00 exit 0 2) register the new script so it will be executed during the start up process: sudo update-rc.d fix_backlight enable 0 3) create a script under /etc/pm/sleep.d/ by the following command: sudo gedit /etc/pm/sleep.d/10_fix_backlinght With the content above: #!/bin/sh # Fix Gateway NV78 backlight PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin if [ ! -x /etc/init.d/fix_backlight ]; then exit 0 fi /etc/init.d/fix_backlight 4) Make sure to make the created scripts executable: sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/fix_backlight; sudo chmod 755 /etc/pm/sleep.d/10_fix_backlight; -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/765438 Title: On startup, the backlight is off on laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/765438/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
