Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
--- disclaimer
First of all, I've finally found enough info about similar bugs (while I was writing this) and I am trying the other bugs. But to do so I'll have to reboot and I don't want to lose all this, so I'll just report it and later, if I find this to be a duplicate, I'll just add it as such. Sorry for any inconvenience.
--- about the bug
Brightness level adjusts itself at random and keeps jittering until it rests on 0 (number I get with "cat /sys/devices/
If I stop or end the gnome-power-manager process no problem occurs. Brightness level just stay normal where I left it. Once I resume or run it again, the bug also returns.
I would love to try an older version and I bet the bug would "go away". Or just maybe it wouldn't. My point is this certainly was a bug added with Karmic.
--- info about my system (that should already be included)
- I'm using Karmic Koala 9.10 - 64 bits (amazing I can't read the 64 anywhere advised to look for my release)
- My current gnome-power-manager version is 2.28.1-0ubuntu1
--- other relevant info
This is very similar to Bug #456057 ( https:/
This have not happened on my MSI notebook (not wind) back with Hardy or Jaunty. I currently have upgraded my Karmic from Jaunty.
If anyone can talk to me in google talk or skype I would love to get some guidance on how to fix (at least) this one on my own. I'm also still new at the whole launchpad thing, so I'm sorry if I couldn't find this bug somewhere else, if it is already reported as I believe it might be.
One issue I'm having to fill in more info would be "the source package", which even reading the wiki I still don't know how to find it out.
