Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
While on battery power, I'm observing that screen brightness misbehaves. The machine is an ASUS 1000HA. I manually push the brightness down all the way using Fn-F5. I am reading a document and periodically scrolling or paging using either keys or touchpad scroll feature. Sometimes when I provide an input (it doesn't matter whether it's keyboard or touchpad) the brightness will go up to full and I have to manually force the brightness all the way down again. If I've told the system I want the display fully dimmed, it should never exceed that setting even when it sees I'm no longer idle. I am using the default settings for the power manager. r...@eep:/home/jlquinn# lsb_release -d Description: Ubuntu 9.10 r...@eep:/home/jlquinn# apt-cache policy gnome-power-manager gnome-power-manager: Installed: 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Wed Dec 2 12:27:24 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Netbook-Remix 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release i386 (20091028.4) Package: gnome-power-manager 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-15.50-generic SourcePackage: gnome-power-manager Tags: ubuntu-unr Uname: Linux 2.6.31-15-generic i686 ** Affects: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 ubuntu-unr -- display brightens unexpectedly on input running with battery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491477 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
