I don't think this bug is unique for Ubuntu. I got the exact same error with Gnome 3.2 on my Arch Linux. Can't find any fix, tempfix on gconf or anything else. Really annoying. Only occurs with AC-power.

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. gavinmc@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 gavinmc@bambi:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch) Release: 9.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/355180/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
