I've got the exact same problems on my Thinkpad T61p as Craig. It's fairly reproducible for me. Every time I plug or unplug the power cord I get the following message in syslog: > acpid: client has disconnected and gnome-power-manager becomes unresponsive. This also results in not being able to shutdown/suspend/hibernate from gdm and not being able to control the brightness of my laptop display from GDM (but works with function keys).
Sometimes even stranger things happen, like at this very time of writing, I get a second (identical) battery in Gnome Power Manger... In Hardy I wasn't experiencing these problems. Don't know to what extent this is related to the original bug report (I can make a new bug report if needed). -- gnome-power-manager frequently crashes with SIGSEGV in IA__g_closure_invoke() or g_closure_invoke() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260314 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
