4 years ago I can reproduce it by doing the following:
- Set keyboard backlight to 0%
- Remove power cord
- Wait a bit
- Plug power cord back in
The keyboard backlight goes back to 100%.
This looks relevant: https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-power-manager/commit/a926d698616666c52586b5778b8cf7fd9ced5b96
We'll pick it up when MATE releases mate-power-manager 1.24.2.
I have a ~1996 MacBook Pro that works well with LM19.3 Cinnamon and Mate. Loaded-up LM 20 with Cinnamon and Mate last night and found that the lights on my keyboard will not stay off when using LM20 Mate. Everything installed and updated just fine for both versions, but my keyboard lights will not stay off with the Mate version.
I first discovered this while performing some of the updates from the "Welcome" window that first appeared, but then noticed that the keyboard would repeatedly light-up while performing other tasks such as exploring files, downloading files, or simply exploring other functions and features. The keyboard would return to the highest intensity at random times and without any clear indiction as to where, why, or how. Sometimes the keyboard would return to full intensity after a few seconds, while other times it would take a few minutes.
This anomaly does does not exist with Cinnamon. I have not tried XFCE yet.
I tried restarting, rebooting, with and without entering any commands, but the issue persists with Mate.
Could not find the "template" that was mentioned for reporting bugs, so my apologies if this report is not sufficient... please direct me to the correct area or requested format for reporting bugs if this report is incorrectly reported.
