Been affected by this for several months now with no good solution in sight. It also crashes when i use the change brightness option in the user preferences. And of course it happens when i use the shortcut keys to change brightness provided on the laptop. I have a dell inspiron and the 64-bit version.
And as someone else mentioned before, this occurs only when you try to agressively change the brightness. A slow brightness change doesnt cause the crash. A frustrating problem. Have actually started using windows at times now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007765 Title: brightness adjusting crashes system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1007765/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
