Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
--- disclaimer First of all, I've finally found enough info about similar bugs (while I was writing this) and I am trying the other bugs. But to do so I'll have to reboot and I don't want to lose all this, so I'll just report it and later, if I find this to be a duplicate, I'll just add it as such. Sorry for any inconvenience. --- about the bug Brightness level adjusts itself at random and keeps jittering until it rests on 0 (number I get with "cat /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness"). Sometimes it won't even rest there. If I manually set it back up to 7 or 8 (or any number) it won't last over couple minutes before flickering again. This happens even with the Karmic liveCD. If I stop or end the gnome-power-manager process no problem occurs. Brightness level just stay normal where I left it. Once I resume or run it again, the bug also returns. I would love to try an older version and I bet the bug would "go away". Or just maybe it wouldn't. My point is this certainly was a bug added with Karmic. --- info about my system (that should already be included) - I'm using Karmic Koala 9.10 - 64 bits (amazing I can't read the 64 anywhere advised to look for my release) - My current gnome-power-manager version is 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 --- other relevant info This is very similar to Bug #456057 ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456057 ) and specially to Bug #415023 ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/415023 ) but might not be the same (as I said, I'm trying it out). This have not happened on my MSI notebook (not wind) back with Hardy or Jaunty. I currently have upgraded my Karmic from Jaunty. If anyone can talk to me in google talk or skype I would love to get some guidance on how to fix (at least) this one on my own. I'm also still new at the whole launchpad thing, so I'm sorry if I couldn't find this bug somewhere else, if it is already reported as I believe it might be. One issue I'm having to fill in more info would be "the source package", which even reading the wiki I still don't know how to find it out.
