my conclusion is that gnome power manager can: notify change events to the user (brightness bar) (ok here) dim the screen after a period of inactivity, if user wishes so. (and set it back the previous level) (probably ok too, when the xrandr issue is fixed) and must not: 1: use xrandr 2: set brightness upon login/battery/ac events A couple of new gconf settings could give the user enough control to impose this behaviour. eg brightness_method = auto | hal | xrandr | wathever (fixes 1) brightness_on_power_change, a boolean (fixes 2) (should also disable "set brightness to" slider in preferences) -- Hardware and software don't agree on brightness level https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295560 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

Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-panel software involved: Ubuntu Intrepid, gnome-panel version 1:2.24.1-0ubuntu2 to reproduce: 1: use nautilus to browse a samba server's shares list. For example smb://localhost 2: add a nautilus bookmark to that location 3: open the new bookmark trough the gnome "places" menu (also drag the new icon on the panel and launch it from there to get the same result) result: An error message about the impossibility of opening the position and no application registered to handle that file. expected result, as it was in Hardy: a nautilus windows as in step 1 to reproduce. what works: opening the bookmark from the bookmarks menu in nautilus, bookmarking a share on a host (e.g. smb://localhost/share) opening the same URI from the command line (e.g nautilus smb://localhost) As a side note, I keep not understanding why gnome-panel must use an internal "format" for some launchers like logout and those in places. This makes them not moveable/draggable on the desktop. There should be almost only .desktop files that execute commands, it's really this simple.

[Bug 189814] Re: [hardy]computer and touchpad is buggy when running on battery
This is my idea: gnome-power-manager tries to dim the brightness of the screen after some inactivity and then reset it upon input. gnome-power-manager calls HAL to do the job. HAL has multiple methods of handling brightness of LCD panels. On dell machines, since hardy it uses a libsmbios. Libsmbios has only rudimentary support for setting the brightness thought. For example it does not work if a BIOS password it set and apparently on some dell models. However, instead of just printing an error when it fails, it makes the computer lock for a few seconds, due to the direct interaction with the bios on a very low level. There is a very easy way to try if it work on your computer using the command /usr/sbin/dellLcdBrightness from libsmbios-bin package. Here's a command that rapidly switch brightness 10 times: for x in `seq 1 10`; do sudo dellLcdBrightness -a -v 1;sleep 0.1; sudo dellLcdBrightness -a -v 5; done #Warning it may hang your machine Without a BIOS password it works fine on my laptop (D630) Another way could be with the brightness applet of the gnome-panel. A possible elegant solution: Correct HAL's detection of this capability, so that it only reports it when brightness can be set with no errors. Maybe also add some way for HAL to read the bios password from config files if the user wishes so. Oh and fix libsmbios to avoid stalling on error, that is ugly. Less elegant: turn off HAL's usage of libsmbios in some config file and have users who want it to manually set it. possible temporary workaround: blacklist the dcdbas kernel module disable dimming in gnome-power I don't know how to disable it from HAL, but that would be the best workaround. NOTE: if HAL is allowed to use libsmbios a local user could exploit it to induce a denial of service or crash.

With the heat of these last days it seems to happen even more. Kernel parameters did not solve the issue. Yesterday I also uncovered something. I was watching a video on youtybe and had the screensaver coming in every minute, so I touched the touchpad everytime the screen started to go black. This mostly resulted in a few second of audio looping and gui freeze. Interesting is that it happened with the touchpad, the "touchpoint" and the keyboard itself. So it is not specific to touchpads or the tiny blue "touch point", but also can be triggered by the keyboard. Can also someone CC dell on this bug?

still present with 2.6.24-19-generic. Here are my findings: 1 battery or not battery it happens 2 it starts when using again the touchpad after a period of inactivity. (Maybe on battery this period can be shorter) when it starts it freezes everything for some seconds, CPU usage get to 100% on all cores. At this point if you keep insisting on the touchpad you can really crash the machine. If you let go it usually just pass but you have to notice quickly. 3 sometimes the touchpad looses touchpad functionalities (eg scrolling on the right border). 4 dmesg entry "psmouse.c: GlidePoint at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing N bytes away." not always shows. 5 many people are having this problem, someone also on fedora, someone since 2.6.15, mostly on dell laptops.
