The workaround in comment #33 works for me; the one listed in comment
#34 doesn't. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit on a Toshiba Satellite
A505-S6960.

Thank you Ali!
... for me (Dell Inspiron 1525n) the ...ppa3 package slider works much
better and I would consider it usable.
Yet when playing with it (i.e. Dragging) sometimes the dragging state
gets confused and the slider follows the mouse even though the mouse
button has been released.
Sorry to hear that...
If you are interested in debugging the brightness applet, easiest way
for me was;
mkdir gpm; cd gpm
apt-get source gnome-power-manager
cd gnome-power-manager-2.30.0
./configure
cd applets/brightness/
make
If this works, there will be gnome-brightness-applet binary in the
Thanks for the work, Ali.
I've updated my Dell Studio XPS 1640 with your version, but no good. I
still can't change the brightness of my screen with the brightness-
applet. On a sidenote, the applet shows a red not-available-circle
across the icon, so I guess some check for reading the current
I've made a personal build of gnome-power-manager with fixes to two bugs;
#535097 and #261450.
If you feel like experimenting, you can add related ppa via sudo
add-apt-repository ppa:auselen/ppa, then sudo apt-get update and finally
sudo apt-get upgrade. On a fresh system, this should just
I've found a way of making the applet scroll bar respond to left mouse clicks
1 - Left click on the icon (scroll bar appears)
2 - Right Click on the icon (menu appears)
3 - Select 'Move' (menu disappear - scroll bar is still visible - mouse turns
into hand)
4 - Left click to place the icon
Another workaround; after clicking applet icon right click it again, now
controlling with mouse should work.
I tested patch above and it fixes the problem for me. Funny thing, this
time if you right click on applet icon it sticks to the screen and only
way to dismiss it is to click icon again.
Hi,
Quickly I comment you that:
- No.. with the default ATI driver the brightness applet does not work too. I
have not installed the privative ATI driver.
- It happens with desktop effects enabled and also if it are disabled.
- I also cannot hover and use the middle roll on the mouse to
The following message does appear when trying to fill a bug using
ubuntu-bug from a terminal, regarding gnome-power-preferences:

I've recently upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 (amd64). The icon for the
brightness applet respond to the mouse fine (I can hover and use the
middle roll on the mouse to raise/lower brightness - it does tell me it
Cannot get laptop brightness but is able to change brightness).
I can manually set the
Workarounds:
Desktop: just hover your mouse over the icon and use the middle scroll
button to raise/lower brightness (don't click because the drop down
slider doesn't work)
Terminal: cat /proc/acpi/video/UVGA/LCD/brightness
(you may have to look around in /proc/acpi/video)
It will look
Workaround:
Click on the icon.
Use the up and down KEYBOARD arrows to adjust brightness (slider moves
appropriately).
Click anywhere to close the slider.
There's nothing wrong with the applets ability to handle brightness.
There's something wrong with passing mouse clicks to the slider.

Hi Paul,
no solution there, that directory doesn't exist on ubuntu... hrmmm. Any

Hi Lars,
If you install the gnome-power-manager by default, gnome-brightness-
applet will be installed in /usr/lib/gnome-power-manager/. You can try
this by 'sudo apt-get install' in lucid and you can select brightness
applet from gnome-panel.If you cann't find this directory in your
system,
Hi derLars,
I didn't meet this problem and did you change the install files or
rules in debian directory? Maybe you can move gnome-brightness-applet to
/usr/lib/gnome-power-manager/, this is the right place of this applet.
Best Regards
Paul Li

uninstalling the original gnome-power-manager-package. However, the
