[Bug 102294] Re: guidance-power-manager doesn't change screen brightness
Hi Luka. I've run the applet from the command line (/usr/share/python- support/kde-guidance/guidance-power-manager.py) but it doesn't produce any output to the console no matter what I do on the gui (change screen brightness, cpu speed, the works). The only output I get after plugging/unplugging: Warning: While setting SystemPowerManagement to True : org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.NotSupported: No powersave method found Warning: While setting SystemPowerManagement to False : org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.NotSupported: No powersave method found Am I doing something wrong? -- guidance-power-manager doesn't change screen brightness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102294 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kde-guidance in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

No, it just means that HAL call to change brightness succeeded (no error by powermanager), but it silently failed (did not change brightness). So this is more likely HAL or kernel issue.

Re: [Bug 102294] Re: guidance-power-manager doesn't change screen brightness
Thanks, Luka :) By no means I'm an expert, but I am unsure about it being a kernel problem, after all the powersave daemon does change my screen brightness when I plug and unplug (I know is not guidance because works just the same on a console session with no X loaded). Is there any debug information I can produce to help clarify the issue? I have looked around but couldn't find a hal log file under /var/log or anything, and syslog/daemonlog don't tell me anything either.

[Bug 102294] Re: guidance-power-manager doesn't change screen brightness
I suspect that HAL does not have proper support for your laptop brightness settings. Can you run guidance-power-manager from command line (terminal/console) and reproduce the problem and then provide output of the command? ** Changed in: kde-guidance (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Luka Renko Status: Unconfirmed = Needs Info -- guidance-power-manager doesn't change screen brightness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102294 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kde-guidance in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
