Public bug reported: I have exactly the same problem as OP here (and the others who chime in): https://askubuntu.com/questions/1422776/energy-manager-error-when-reducing-screen-brightness-during-inactivity
Reported 1 year 8 months ago, still seems broken LxQT Power Manager: In the settings section for "inactivity", I check the option "enable backlight change", in order to reduce the screen brightness after 1 minute of inactivity. If I press the "Check Backlight" button, nothing happens. Upon completion of 1 minute of inactivity, instead of the screen brightness being reduced, I see the power/battery icon disappear, then reappear a few times, then the system displays an alert of multiple manager crash errors, resulting in its autorun being disabled. Adjusting screen brightness via "lxqt-config-brightness" from "lxqt- config" works fine ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 Package: lxqt-powermanagement 0.17.1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.5.0-28.29~22.04.1-generic 6.5.13 Uname: Linux 6.5.0-28-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu82.5 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: LXQt Date: Wed Apr 24 10:03:12 2024 InstallationDate: Installed on 2023-10-31 (175 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 22.04.1 LTS "Jammy Jellyfish" - Release amd64 (20220809) SourcePackage: lxqt-powermanagement UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: lxqt-powermanagement (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug jammy third-party-packages ** Summary changed: - attempting to use idle brightness in lxqt-powermanagement leads to crash + attempting to use idle brightness in lxqt-powermanagement leads to crashin 22.04.4 LTS ** Summary changed: - attempting to use idle brightness in lxqt-powermanagement leads to crashin 22.04.4 LTS + attempting to use idle brightness in lxqt-powermanagement leads to crash on 22.04.4 LTS -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2063357 Title: attempting to use idle brightness in lxqt-powermanagement leads to crash on 22.04.4 LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxqt-powermanagement/+bug/2063357/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
