I can confirm this. The affected package is hal, gnome-power-manager fails because addon-macbook-backlight can't mmap. See my attached hal.log.
To create the hal.log sudo /etc/init.d/hald stop sudo hald --verbose=yes --daemon=no 2>&1 | tee /tmp/hal.log [snippet] 21:13:46.595 [D] hald_dbus.c:3294: udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/macbook_backlight 21:13:46.595 [I] hald_dbus.c:3320: AddonIsReady on udi '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/macbook_backlight' 21:13:46.595 [D] hald_dbus.c:3589: singleton_addon_is_ready 21:13:46.595 [I] hald_dbus.c:3616: SingletonAddonIsReady recieved for 'hald-addon-input' 21:13:46.595 [D] hald_dbus.c:3629: Signalling device added for queued devices 21:13:46.595 [D] hald_dbus.c:3633: device added for '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input' 21:13:46.622 [D] hald_dbus.c:3429: singleton_signal_device_changed about to send message to connection 0x80b32e0 ** ERROR **: failed to mmap aborting... 21:13:46.622 [I] hald_runner.c:110: runner_server_message_handler: destination=(null) obj_path=/org/freedesktop/HalRunner interface=org.freedesktop.HalRunner method=StartedProcessExited 21:13:46.622 [I] hald_runner.c:125: Previously started process with pid 11401 exited 21:13:46.622 [I] hald.c:84: in addon_terminated for udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/macbook_backlight 21:13:46.622 [E] device.c:1705: In hal_device_inc_num_ready_addons for udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/macbook_backlight but all addons are already ready! ** Attachment added: "Hal log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13002619/hal.log -- macbook brightness adjustment does not work in hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206921 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
