Public bug reported: Hello,
The issue is as follows: Running Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 on MSI PR200 notebook (Specifications: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodtmpspec&prod_no=1208&maincat_no=135&cat2_no=&cat3_no=#menu). The problem is that when the battery is plugged (no matter if it is on AC power or not) the LCD brightness control changes itself. After i adjust it from the keyboard Fn+F5 it "resets" itself to some new value (not set by me, not set in Power Management settings as well). The LCD brightness control on the panel is inactive after that. The settings in Power Management are: Dim display when idle - disabled Set display brightness to - this value changes itself without my interaction The other thing that is probably connected is that the battery is indicated incorrectly. It changes it state from 100% loaded to 0% loaded (even with power cable plugged in). Once it displayed an error that it cannot read the battery state and it may be damaged. It also shut the computer once. The battery is new. On Windows OS it doesn't indicate any failures. I tested it with software and it didn't show any problems. When the battery is not plugged and the notebook is working on AC only, there is no problem. It seems to me that the Power Manager acts totally chaotic when battery is plugged. Here is what's written about the battery in /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1 ==State== present: yes capacity state: ok charging state: charged present rate: unknown remaining capacity: unknown present voltage: 10000 mV ==Info== present: yes design capacity: 53266 mAh last full capacity: 49170 mAh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 46649 mV design capacity warning: 0 mAh design capacity low: 0 mAh capacity granularity 1: 1 mAh capacity granularity 2: 1 mAh model number: MS-1221 serial number: battery type: LION OEM info: MSI Corp. ==Alarm== alarm: unsupported Please advice! I was looking for bugs and solutions but didn't find anything like this and my knowledge is not enough to fix this myself. If you need any other info, i'll provide as soon as possible. Thanks in advance. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- g-p-m does not indicate battery state correctly + changing brightness to random values. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190000 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
