Public bug reported: Up till natty (11.04), there was a gconf option reduce brightness_dim_battery, which would cause the brightness to be lowered by the specified amount *as soon as* the laptop went off AC battery - great help for power saving! In oneiric, there is no corresponding dconf option for the power manager - and there is no option in the gnome- control-center either.
The gconf option still is there, but as far as I can see it has no effect on the behaviour. Note: this is a different option than dimming on idle! 1) Ubuntu 11.10 2) Versions: gnome-control-center: 1:3.2.1-0ubuntu1 gnome-power-manager: 3.2.1-0ubuntu1 3) Expected behaviour: - I open power management options (and/or dconf) and find an option like: reduce brightness when on battery 4) what happened instead: - no such option(s) ** Affects: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/889193 Title: gnome control center is missing the option 'dim brightness when on battery' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/889193/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
