Bug ID: 394081
Summary: No screen brightness control, and screen very dim, so
very annoying, and laptop almost unusable
Product: Powerdevil
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: jim.c...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Hi,
I have just booted up my laptop, but the screen display is very dim. There
are no controls available in the battery and brightness notification widget (?)
for changing the screen brightness. When the laptop boots, the text is very
bright until it gets to a particular part of systemd booting, then the display
dims. Unfortunately, because the display is so dim, it's really difficult to do
any digging into the problem, and KDE is not presenting a way to set the screen
brightness, so it is not very easy to dig into the problem. I am not sure how
to categorise the problem, but screen brightness is not really a security
issue, but a user/usability preference issue. It is quite annoying, because
without a way to change the screen brightness to a readable level, the laptop
doesn't serve any useful purpose. I'm running on 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04, the
laptop is a Sony VPCEB3LOE. This is also my first bug report. I think the most
annoying thing is that as it is a dual boot machine, I have to switch to
windows to get anything done.
