Confirmed. Appears to be working now without passing 0 to /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness on boot and resume after updating to 3.8.0-30-generic #44. Also tested waking the monitor from power saving state (machine is still up, screen is off) and can confirm this now works as expect

I can confirm this regression in 3.8.0-22. Only noticed it when I went on battery today. Fix for me was the same as beerfan above. I also went one step further and added: echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness to rc.local and the following: #!/bin/sh # to fix backlight issue

[Bug 96260] Re: n-m-openvpn erases resolv.conf info

2007-07-29 Thread Ross Williams
You are correct. I made a quick assumption. What is happening is that network-manager-openvpn (nm-openvpn-service.c) is putting a message onto DBUS of type NM_DBUS_VPN_SIGNAL_IP4_CONFIG. That causes nm-vpn-service.c to call nm_ip4_config_add_nameserver(). Seems like all is as it should be in networ

2007-07-29 Thread Ross Williams
Word to the wise: I think this bug is connected to an underlying lack of control of DNS settings by network-manager. It seems like the daemons NM invokes (openvpn, dhcp3, etc.) modify resolv.conf on their own accord in a way that's not controlled by or compatible with NM. For example, see
