Since I couldn't find out a way to edit my comment above I had to post another one; It seems as if it doesn't care if it's with or without AC-power.

I don't think this bug is unique for Ubuntu. I got the exact same error with Gnome 3.2 on my Arch Linux. Can't find any fix, tempfix on gconf or anything else. Really annoying.

[Bug 355180] Re: [jaunty] screen brightness dims on AC power despite config to leave at 100%
I use a Lenovo Y560 on Natty Narwhal. And I see this issue every time. Basically even if I set the brightness to 80-100% after a few seconds the brightness will automatically dim to 10-20%. Sometimes after the dim, the brightness will randomly go up again (without manual intervention). This is on a fully active computer on AC power . So dim when idle should not take effect anyway. I have tried all possible combinations with gnome-power-manager e.g. disabling the dim when idle check box, setting default brightness to a lower level etc. Please let me know if you need further information. I do not consider myself as an expert ubuntu user, but if you can tell me how to get those information I can surely try to do it. This problem is annoying as hell. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355180 Title: [jaunty] screen brightness dims on AC power despite config to leave at 100% To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/355180/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug needs to reopen for ubuntu 10.10 amd64, installed by upgrading 10.04. I can confirm this happens all the time on HP 550 Notebook. Running gnome-power-manager in verbose mode shows TI:23:38:21 TH:0x247b0a0FI:gpm-backlight.c FN:gpm_backlight_brightness_evaluate_and_set,357 - Key 232 mapped to key brightness-down - emitting button-pressed : brightness-down - Button press event type=brightness-down - Button press event type=brightness-down So, when ever ac power is reconnected it triggers brightness-down. Reproducible always. There no other info I can find, that can be related to this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, but can someone please test this in Lucid? You can use a LiveCD so it's just a case of download and run it.

Hi guys, thank you for reporting this and providing the information This issue should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Lucid Lynx. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/. If it is still a problem, please execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal: apport-collect 355180 This will help us to find and resolve the problem. Bear in mind that you may need to install the python-launchpadlib package from the universe repository. Additionally, when prompted to give apport-collect permissions for Launchpad you will need to give it at least the ability to "Change Non-Private" data as it will be adding information to your bug report. You can do this within the Live CD environment.

Thanks for the comments. We'll need some more information before sending this upstream. Please try the following: GNOME Power Manager Verbose Trace (This will turn on verbose debugging for GNOME Power Manager.) 1) Enter the following into the terminal: killall gnome-power-manager gnome-power-manager --no-daemon --verbose 2) work on your computer until the bug appears, then report what is shown in the terminal (some text should appear around the same time the bug shows itself as well as when you increase the brightness to fix it). Reason (/var/log/messages) information (This will return the reason GNOME Power Manager did a specific action.) 1) Work until you see the bug then enter the following in to the terminal: cat /var/log/message | grep gnome-power-manager 2) report the output here -- [jaunty] screen brightness dims on AC power despite config to leave at 100% https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355180 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
