<html> <head> <style></style></head> <body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'> I'm a solitary home user. Is there a paid support path that I can follow? The support paths I found all were very expensive. hundreds of dollars. It was not my intention to spam. But my attempts on the forum, AskUbuntu, and my initial emails here all asking for information got no help, indeed little response other than posts describing how many other people have the same problem. None of my initial emails here, where I asked for ideas, advice, apprisal that devs are aware of the bug and are address it or not addressing it, possible solutions, etc, went unanswered. So I kept asking. Thank you for finally respsonding. I do think it is not right that a serious bug exists like this and that work arounds that can address the bug (eg, rc.local) suffer from bugs of their own that prevent moderation/partial-fix of the problem. This kind of thing should be a priority to address at least one of these bugs considering this. If nothing else because it's an LTS, which people count on to be stable. I do appreciate all the work that ubuntu devs do. Yet I think this is something that needs to be addressed for Precise. An update to address these issues or some kind of fix that developers can post or answer on AskUbuntu that will temporarily resolve the problem. I have an AskUbuntu question open on it. It would be great to learn of a solution to moderate the problem. Nothing I've tried with rc.local has worked because of the rc.local bug. <div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>> From: ubuntu@kitterman.com > To: ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com > Subject: Re: multiple reports of same bug-needs fixing > Date: Thu, 31 May 2012 20:45:48 -0400 > > On Thursday, May 31, 2012 02:00:21 PM Paul Graydon wrote: > > On 05/31/2012 01:41 PM, Jeremy Bicha wrote: > > > On 31 May 2012 18:58, Lindsey Augustine<lindtine334@hotmail.com> wrote: > > >> All these bugs describe the same problem: Max Brightness at boot.
