YES. It works. How did you figure out that 'upowerd' was causing the problem?!?!? If I kill it the flickering goes away. But some DE actions restart it. eg. If I click on the 'log out' button of Xfce 4.8 it restarts upowerd even if I cancel the dialog afterwards. Anyway, this bug should be reported for upowerd probably. Thanks.
Sorry for the late response, I'll subscribe myself to the bug report. 2011/3/6 Cyril Brulebois <k...@debian.org> > Hi hammered and Tommy, > > Timo <t...@famous-timo.de> (06/03/2011): > > I have the flickering exactly every 30 seconds. > > $ su > > # killall upowerd > > solved the problem. > > same issue on your side? > > KiBi. > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) > > iEYEARECAAYFAk1z+RgACgkQeGfVPHR5Nd0cqgCffHWpCpBm3iQnligqG94JWMtT > gzkAn0eyutBAmgJGS4JnYBGSoTUn2EZe > =x+Wr > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > >
