Yep I have that too. I spend some time looking at the output from gnome- power-manager and noticed it did not get any results from GetBrightness and SetBrightness results. Might be some dbus policy issue, a malfunctioning hald-addon-dell-backlight but is also not recognised some keycodes (will figure out the keycodes when I have some more time)...
However I find it strange that while gnome-power-manager waits for event/timeout it cannot process any other events (shutdown, battery applet). -- [Hardy]Status of display brightness blocks part of the screen for a while https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176687 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
