[Bug 1584457] Re: gsd-backlight-helper spamming the logs since upate to 16.04

I get these when i try to change brightness using the bar in the top right. Using Fn + F7 works well.

[Bug 1584457] Re: gsd-backlight-helper spamming the logs since upate to 16.04
upgraded from 17.04 to 17.10 64-bit desktop. ASUS Transformer T300 CHI- FL005H. kernel 4.13.0-32-generic and gnome-settings-daemon 3.26.2-0ubuntu0.1 syslog and journalctl spammed exactly as described - gdm3 and gsd- backlight-helper --set-brightness I can confirm "systemctl stop iio-sensor-proxy" causes these messages to stop, but less frequent errors from org.gnome.Shell.desktop are logged repeatedly, e.g. Error.checkin_request.cc(211) failed to get checking response. Fetcher failed. Retrying. Followed by various other org.gnome.Shell.desktop messages. I can provide a log if they might be useful, but I suspect they are triggered by killing the iio-sensor-proxy and so are probably not very relevant to the original bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1584457 Title: gsd-backlight-helper spamming the logs since upate to 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1584457/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also have a Thinkpad X1 Yoga and I'm getting these errors in Artful. I read somewhere that shutting off this `systemctl stop iio-sensor- proxy.service` stops the log, and it appears to work for me.

I'm also seeing this on Artful, despite applying the "blacklist acpi_als" fix.
