This is a follow up. I installed "ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso". I rebooted several times. no problem
I then ran: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic I rebooted several times. no problem I then ran: $ sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic I rebooted and the dimness appeared I installed "ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso" again. I rebooted several times and each time no problem. Then I ran: $ sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic I rebooted and the dimness again appeared. I the "ONLY" other thing I did was connect to the internet through my router. So as far as I am concerned the problem is created with the "linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic" install. -- LCD Brightness on Laptop Always Set Very Low at Boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12637 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
