Setting screen brightness
Since updating to Ubuntu 12.04, each time the computer (Samsung N210) is switched off the screen brightness defaults to the rather dim setting. How can I make a brighter setting the default?

Thank you, Nik, yes I believe that is the problem. I can reset it every
time I log on - in an ideal world I shouldn't need to! I will await a
fix.

Try:
gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub; sudo update-grub
Find:
GRUB_CMDLINE_
Change it to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_
Save the new file and close gedit. Reboot to test
Also run:
gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local
Add this line ABOVE the 'exit 0' line:
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=00
Save the new file, close gedit then run:
sudo /etc/rc.local

Thank you, but where do I start??? What do you mean, try gksudo? Try it
where? And I don't know where to look for GRUB. I just want a box on
the brightness settings page which says "keep this setting as
default"...
Oh dear, perhaps I should have stayed with microsoft...
