I'm also affected by that bug. My chipset and graphics card are a little different, Intel GM965 and GMA X3100 instead of the 945GME and GMA 950(probably) on the computer(according to lspci log attachment) of the user who filed this report. I use Ubuntu 10.10. When gnome-power-manager is running, if AC power is unplugged, lid is closed, brightness is changed(doesn't have to be on battery, it also happens on AC power) or even if the computer is sitting there, idle, the backlight starts going up and down, CPU usage increases to 100%, the keyboard stops to respond properly and the drop down menus don't work, so it's the same bug. The only way to get out of it is by killing gnome-power-manager. I don't know which extra information should be posted, but I can post it if required.
-- If I am using the battery and want to brighten the screen as soon as I increase the brightness level the level indicator continues to flash, even if I only adjust it by one click/level. This also locks me out of some functions, such as turning the computer of via my login, or the system/apllication pull down menus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387269 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
