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:
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.
Changing module to hal.
** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: kde-guidance = hal
** Summary
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
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?
