Let me add some more additionts to the problem. Here is the output of lshal -m when i press the fn+f5 brightness up keys.
# lshal -m Start monitoring devicelist: ------------------------------------------------- 10:32:50.361: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = brightness-up 10:32:50.407: computer_logicaldev_input_0 condition ButtonPressed = brightness-up 10:32:50.486: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = brightness-up 10:32:50.563: platform_i8042_i8042_KBD_port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = brightness-up and also the tail -f /var/log/acpid for the same action [Tue Jul 22 10:33:48 2008] received event "video DD03 00000086 00000000" [Tue Jul 22 10:33:48 2008] notifying client 5744[0:0] [Tue Jul 22 10:33:48 2008] notifying client 5744[0:0] [Tue Jul 22 10:33:48 2008] notifying client 24200[111:123] [Tue Jul 22 10:33:48 2008] executing action "/etc/acpi/video_brightnessup.sh" [Tue Jul 22 10:33:48 2008] BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES [Tue Jul 22 10:33:48 2008] END HANDLER MESSAGES [Tue Jul 22 10:33:48 2008] action exited with status 0 [Tue Jul 22 10:33:48 2008] executing action "/etc/acpi/video_brightnessup.sh" [Tue Jul 22 10:33:48 2008] BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES [Tue Jul 22 10:33:48 2008] END HANDLER MESSAGES [Tue Jul 22 10:33:48 2008] action exited with status 0 [Tue Jul 22 10:33:48 2008] completed event "video DD03 00000086 00000000" So although i press one time to hot key it executes itself twice. Another thing is the events part. I changes the /etc/acpi/events/video_brightnessup as, # /etc/acpi/events/video_brightnessup event=video.* 00000086 action=/etc/acpi/nvidia_video_brightnessup.sh nvidia_video_brightnessup.sh is just increasing the brightness using nvidia-settings. The thing is when i press the hot key i see video_brightness.up.sh is executed also whic is the default value at the events file before i change it. # tail -f /var/log/acpid [Tue Jul 22 10:40:46 2008] received event "video DD03 00000086 00000000" [Tue Jul 22 10:40:46 2008] notifying client 5744[0:0] [Tue Jul 22 10:40:46 2008] notifying client 24200[111:123] [Tue Jul 22 10:40:46 2008] notifying client 5744[0:0] [Tue Jul 22 10:40:46 2008] executing action "/etc/acpi/nvidia_video_brightnessup.sh" [Tue Jul 22 10:40:46 2008] BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES running nvidia before nvidia runs: 30 running nvidia before nvidia runs: 30 nvidia ended after nvidia finished: 30 [Tue Jul 22 10:40:46 2008] END HANDLER MESSAGES [Tue Jul 22 10:40:46 2008] action exited with status 0 [Tue Jul 22 10:40:46 2008] executing action "/etc/acpi/video_brightnessup.sh" [Tue Jul 22 10:40:46 2008] BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES [Tue Jul 22 10:40:46 2008] END HANDLER MESSAGES [Tue Jul 22 10:40:46 2008] action exited with status 0 [Tue Jul 22 10:40:46 2008] completed event "video DD03 00000086 00000000" So i still don't know what the problem is. ** Attachment added: "nvidia_video_brightnessup.sh" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16227564/nvidia_video_brightnessup.sh -- Power Manager Brightness Applet is not dimming the backlight https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250067 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
