g-p-m is very broken in gutsy - no matter what version. Since I upgraded to gutsy, there are a lot of regressions I see, which seem to be confirmed by a lot of people. FYI: Currently I'm using hal 0.5.9.1-1ubuntu8 gnome-power-manager 2.20.0-ubuntu1
For my above reported bug I had to delete the gconf subtree of g-p-m to get the fix working during an ongoing session. This issue has gone away, but ... - "dim display when idle" IS OFF, but I see brightness go down to 0% and back to 100% when idle - on first login after startup g-p-m consumes 100% CPU and my display is rapidly flashing showing a brightness around 50%. ... and most annoying is, that after killing g-p-m for restoring a sane state, I can't logout or suspend anymore, as the quit action in Gnome seems to rely on a running g-p-m. The state gnome-power-manager is unusable and there are 252 bugs open currently. How can such a piece of broken software be released? -- gutsy: g-p-m 2.19.6-0ubuntu4 breaks brightness control https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136346 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
