Sorry Christopher, I'm not sure this should be closed. An Ubuntu
install with UEFI boot consistently shows the problem. An install with
old-style BIOS does not. So the problem is with Ubuntu's UEFI boot
loader, which I'm sure the team would want to fix, since it's meant to
be the preferred way o
So for one reason or another I ended up reinstalling the OS, and it's
now booting in traditional BIOS mode rather than EFI, and sure enough
the backlight works again. Not sure whether that means this should be
marked against a different package?

Hi Christopher,
I just installed 3.19.8-031908-generic and the backlight still doesn't
work, which is mysterious. I'm now starting to worry if I misremember
this keyboard backlight working in the past!
Will try and get a live cd of vivdi, and maybe one of trusty too, boot
from them and see what
Quick question in the meantime -- I have some vague notions that there
are two different ways for an OS to boot, UEFI and the old bios way --
when I installed wily, I remember messing about trying to get EFI to
work. Could that have made a difference?

Hi there,
I managed to install the new kernel (which was exciting! I've never
done that before. Only nonobvious bit was uninstalling virtualbox-dkms
first). It booted ok, this was my new uname -a:
Linux harry-samsung 4.4.0-040400rc2-generic #201511231054 SMP Mon Nov

Public bug reported:
I'm using a Samsung Ativ Book 9. Keyboard backlight worked OK under
Vivid, seems to have stopped working since I installed Wily. Can't see
any evidence of it in /sys/class.
Happy to do any further debugging if it helps.

2 years on lol! Christopher, I'm afraid the laptop in question has
died, so I can't run that command just now. I'll tell you what though,
it only just died, and I'm expecting my replacement laptop in a couple
of weeks, so I'll try and get hibernate working on *that* and I'll
provide updates here
