Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
I have a Dell Latitude D410 laptop running the latest testing version of Jaunty. While I'm typing here, I have the laptop on AC power. I find the screen keeps dimming down to about 60%. I then use the hotkey to brighten the screen up again. Within a minute or two it has dimmed back down again. The power management settings "On AC power" are set to Put computer to sleep when inactive: Never When laptop is closed: blank screen Put display to sleep when inactive for: 15 minutes Set display brightness to: 100% Dim display when idle: unchecked "On Battery Power": Put computer to sleep when inactive: Never When laptop is closed: blank screen When battery power is critically low: Shutdown Put display to sleep when inactive for: 11 minutes Reduce backlight brightness: checked Dim display when idle: checked The gnome tray applet confirms that I do have AC power on. This problem is consistently irritating. I'm in a bright room and really need the full backlight. gavi...@bambi:~$ apt-cache policy gnome-power-manager gnome-power-manager: Installed: 2.24.2-2ubuntu7 Candidate: 2.24.2-2ubuntu7 Version table: *** 2.24.2-2ubuntu7 0 500 http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status gavi...@bambi:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch) Release: 9.04 ** Affects: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [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 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
