Bug Description
The Highest Setting for Brightness on my Lenovo laptop computer is too bright. To improve the appearance and conserve energy I lower the brightness setting by about a third of the way.
> System Settings
> Screen
> Brightness
Unfortunately, every single time I boot the computer, Ubuntu resets the Brightness Setting back to the Highest possible setting. This means that EVERY time I boot into Ubuntu, I have to bring up System Settings > Screen and reduce the brightness. This is really annoying!
Ubuntu needs to "remember" what level of brightness I set and "preserve" this settings through Restarts and Shutdowns.
