Peter Salzmann / discont / Crossle Song, if you have a bug in Ubuntu, the Ubuntu Kernel team, Ubuntu Bug Control team, and Ubuntu Bug Squad would like you to please file a new report by executing the following in a terminal while booted into a Ubuntu repository kernel (not a mainline one) via: ubuntu-bug linux
For more on this, please read the official Ubuntu documentation: Ubuntu Bug Control and Ubuntu Bug Squad: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/BestPractices#X.2BAC8-Reporting.Focus_on_One_Issue Ubuntu Kernel Team: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies#Filing_Kernel_Bug_reports Ubuntu Community: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette When opening up the new report, please feel free to subscribe me to it. Please note, not filing a new report would delay your problem being addressed as quickly as possible. No need exists to comment here at this time. After reading the above documentation in it's entirety, if you have further questions, you are welcome to redirect them to the appropriate mailing list or forum via http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists , or you may contact me directly. Thank you for your understanding. ** Description changed: Changing the screen brightness always used to work on my HP Elitebook 8560w -- both with the function keys and in the dialog "Brightness & Lock" in the system settings. The environment light sensor also used to work IIRC. - Since the update to 13.10, this stopped working. Methods I have tried - for adapting the brightness are: - + Since the update to 13.10, this stopped working. Methods I have tried that didn't work for adapting the brightness are: * Adding GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_backlight=vendor" to /etc/default/grub * Adding GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" to /etc/default/grub - - None of them worked. Currently I am changing the brightness manually using xrandr --output LVDS-0 --brightness 0.9. However, AFAIK this does not really change the brightness, but only changes the contrast. - Workarounds would be much appreciated. - - === - Opened a related question on AskUbuntu: - http://askubuntu.com/questions/362894/changing-the-brightness-stopped-working-in-13-10-saucy-salamander - === + WORKAROUND: Use nvidia-graphics-drivers-304.
