[gpm] Monitor un-dimming

Hello,


"""
Scenario: Monitor dimming

Given my monitor gets dimmed when the computer is idle
And I have set my monitor brightness to 60%(using xbacklight) because I'm coding at night
And I go to the toilet and return
And my monitor is dimmed
And I move the mouse

Then my monitor brightness should be back on 60%
"""

Is there a way to accomplish this using gnome-power-manager? Because right now the brightness jumps to 100%.

Thanks a lot,
John

[gpm] Prevent sleep from background daemon

Hello,


My application is a background server that transcodes videos and serves them up to the user in different ways. We run the server as a specific non-privileged user for security. Now, while transcoding and working we would like to prevent the computer from being suspended by the power manager, I have been looking around and found that you can post DBus messages to the gnome-session to inhibit sleep/suspend, but it seems to me that it can only be sent from the same user that is logged in since the gnome-session bus seems private. Is there someway to tell the users gnome-session to not go to sleep or another facility that I should talk to from my daemon?

Thanks for your help,
Tobias Hieta

[gpm] gnome-power-manager

Hi sir,

I am interested in working on gnome-power-manager.

In my lucid filesystem gnome-power-manager is running in background.
Whenever I press the power button it is askimg me to suspend/shut down.

Here my question is where the gnome-power-manager is checking for the
power button press event.

Please suggest me.

Thanks,
Nagaraj

[gpm] where are my settings?

Hi,

i'm using debian wheezy, and noticed that the gnome 3 power settings
has less then 1/10 of the settings available in gnome2.

special attention to the option to NOT do anything when the laptop lid
is closed. Anyway i can set this one?

maybe listing on the website the gconf keys so we can easily not be
impaired by the lacking options until it's decided to include them
back?

thank you,

[gpm] No default setting for screen brightness

Thanks for the explanation.

I used to have this problem with Fedora 15 and now I'm using
Fedora 16 which does not have this problem. I don't know
what has changed though and obviously there is still no system
level setting for this with Fedora 16.

[gpm] Battery failing to charge?????

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 on an HP Pavilion dv2000. (FWIW I have got
gnome compatibility mode set).

My old battery was severely the worse for wear. I replaced it and the
new one failed to charge properly. I sent that one back and got another.
This one too appears to charge poorly. The first one I could understand
is might be faulty, but two??

To be specific, it appears not to take charge when coupled to a power
source via is AC adapter.

At the present Indicator Applet 0.4.12 says "Battery charged" yet when I
click on where is says "Laptop Battery charged" and go to percentage it
says that it is only 4.7% charged. This is confirmed (??) if I pull out
the AC coupler when it says that the battery is discharging and only has
5% power left.

Installation was via Synaptic

Dbus: 1.4.6-1ubuntu6.1
Kernel 2.6.35um-0ubuntu-1
GPM version 2.32.0-2ubuntu2.1

Raw kernel info and gconftool as per attached

Help??

[gpm] brightness controls lock up keyboard

hello,

I'm trying to fix a problem with my laptop that has been bothering me for over a year now. There was a simple workaround in gnome2, but it no longer works in gnome3, so any advice would be appreciated.

The problem is, there is some sort of a feedback loop on my laptop (MSI PR200) in that setting display brightness by software generates an evdev input event in the keyboard device. Similar thing apparently happens on Samsung N130 series with samsung-backlight module, see [1].
Gnome-power-manager, or its equivalent on GNOME3, cannot handle the situation and gets stuck in what I presume is a sorcerer's-aprentice mode, reacting to events that result from its own actions. Sometimes this feedback loop stops (my guess is a race condition), but that can take ten or more minutes.
While this is happening, Xorg eats 100% CPU and keyboard mostly doesn't work (all the normal key events are presumably spammed out by the brightness events). In gnome2, this was also accompanied by unpleasant backlight flicker. This doesn't seem to be a problem in gnome3 anymore, but perhaps the flicker is so rapid I can't notice it.

This happens at -every- brightness change, including AC plug-in/out and screen blank. So basically whenever I plug in the AC adapter, laptop becomes unusable.

In gnome2, it was possible to kill gnome-power-manager and the problem stopped. Alternately, remapping XF86MonBrightnessUp/Down keysyms to no-ops and restarting g-p-m blocked its ability to handle brightness events and order was restored.
Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to help in gnome3: killing upowerd has no effect, nor does remapping the keys. (My guess is that some component of the system remembers the keysyms and I can't easily restart that component over the new keymap.)

Another option for me is to specify acpi_backlight=vendor on the kernel command line, but that kills the whole ACPI backlight subsystem and I can no longer control brightness at all.
Note that for me, killing the part of GNOME handling backlight would be sufficient, because the brightness keys work fine with kernel ACPI support alone.

My guess is that the kernel is sending wrong events, or maybe competing for backlight control with g-p-m. But I can't go hunting for kernel bugs when I don't know how the correct output is supposed to look.

So my questions are, in order of importance:

1. Is there a workaround I can use? Is there a way to make gnome3 ignore brightness controls?

2. Is this a bug in gnome-power-manager, or whatever the component in gnome3 is responsible for this, or is it a kernel problem?

3. If it is a kernel problem, what kind of events does the gnome3 part expect to see? I have two relevant event devices: the keyboard and some "Video Bus" that only sends brightness up/down events, as far as I could see. Pressing brightness control key sends events over both devices, setting brightness by software sends an event to the keyboard only. Also, turning off ACPI backlight stops the events on the keyboard, but keeps them on the Video Bus.

thanks for any hints
m.

P.S. i'm not on the list so please cc me in replies

[gpm] 2 battery system hibernates when one battery is critical (gpm 3.2.1)

Searching around, I see this is a very old on again, off again bug. It
seems to be on again. My laptop decided to hibernate yesterday when
one battery was full, and the other battery critical. My system (when
charged) looks like this:
