I am seeing the same problem: gnome-power-manager crashes immediately on launch with this message:
(gnome-power-manager:3662): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.25.13/gobject/gsignal.c:2275: signal `proxy- status' is invalid for instance `0x9274d30' Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'gnome-power-manager' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)'. (Details: serial 161 error_code 5 request_code 150 minor_code 15) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) aborting... However, when I relaunch gnome-power-manager from the terminal, it asks for a password to run gnome-power-backlight-helper. If I refuse the password, gnome-power-manager does not crash (though it does still emit the proxy-status warning) -- gnome-power-manager:2651: GLib-GObject-WARNING **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.25.11/gobject/gsignal.c:2275: signal `proxy-status' is invalid for instance `0x85b24c8' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/614248 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
