Travis DePrato, could you please confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:
apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc1 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Package changed: linux (Fedora) => linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Tags added: bios-outdated-v1.06 needs-upstream-testing -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/765438 Title: 8086:2a42 [eMachines E527] On startup, the backlight is off on laptop Status in The Linux Kernel: Fix Released Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When Ubuntu starts up, the back-light is off on my laptop. I can plug it into an external monitor and the display is fine. I can easily turn the back-light on with "sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=[HEX]" where 00 is the brightest and FF is off. In past distributions, the GUI- based brightness utilities did not work and I used this command to change by back-light brightness. I know that there are many people who can not use back-light GUI-utilities on the past distributions as well. This issue also occurs if I close my screen and raise it again. This issue also effected the installation process as well as when I was using the i686 installer.
