Hi there,
this is my first post here. its nice to be part of a forum that has helped me with so many issues in the past...for once though, I cant see my problem replicated anywhere else...
I have just upgraded to Oneiric Ocelot on my Samsung NF210 Netbook. I rebooted at the end of the install to complete it, and on the first boot up all looked well. Once I had entered my password at the user screen, I arrived at the desktop as usual, and a very strange thing occurred:
the screen brightness bar appeared at the top right without me touching any of the keys, and the screen went from dark to light, with the marker on the bar reflecting this, moving from left to right, completely out of my control. this did not stop until I rebooted. once logged in again, it started again.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on, and how i can sort it. i have a partition and have logged into the windows part to come and post this - there are no brightness problems in this partition.
Hope this sounds soluble/solvable...
thanks

nb. i have noted this under ubuntu, not 'netbook remix' though i am running a netbook edition (but not sure if this means im running 'remix' or not...apols)
