Any clue how to solve the dim issue.

Sadly, no… infact… my hardware is getting fixed so I can’t even find out if it’s working. Remind me never to get an asus. This is the third warranty fix.
My personal work around was using the brightness applet… and simply turning it up when I log in.
Wish I knew a better way.

Any clue how to solve the dim issue. It is quite annoying indeed. I am sure if I should wait for a fix or downgrade to gutsy.

“Looks like it’s time to change distro.”
Well I don’t think so yet. I happen to like this distro because Ihave a nice way to report bugs and get my word out quickly. I am however going to get foresight linux a try.

Looks like it’s time to change distro. I’m tired of all the regressions introduced by every next release
of (K)ubuntu. Things that were warking on Edgy, then with some problems on Feisty (hibernate and a lot of other stuff) were crippled on Gutsy, now it’s happening again.

Instead of adding useless blink Canonical should stabilize this platform.

Using the light for e-mail intrigues me…but I can’t say how to do it. Presumably it must be tied to some combination of HAL and ACPI scripts, with a kernel module thrown in for good measure. Keep us posted for sure!

Regarding smart tabbing:

sudo apt-get install bash-completion

sudo apt-get install bash-completion

…for shell tab-complete. Why did they take this out by default?
