Investigating a bit further, I can confirm that the lid.sh script works fine once brightness is woking and doesn't even get called when it's not. In other words, the script works perfectly, the event is not being generated. Both brightness and lid events stop working at the same time, I still can't figure out why...
It may be a red herring, but it tends to work for longer when the machine is colder (after a long rest) and shorter when it's hot (on gnome login it's already dead). Could be some mess up with the thermal control? -- Dell Studio 1555: cannot change display brightness after a while, other hotkeys and ACPI stuff begin to fail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
