Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
I am running Ubuntu Edgy Eft on a Lenovo Thinkpad R40e laptop. The
gnome-power-manager occasionally goes into an endless loop,
constantly reducing and increasing screen brightness ad nauseum.
When this happens, it increases CPU load considerably.
This happens almost every time when the laptop wakes up from
hibernation, and also occasionally after a few hours of the laptop's
operation. This sudden malfunction is not related to a switch in the
power supply state, i.e. is not related to any switch from AC to
battery power or vice versa.
My simple and effective workaround is to do the following:
$ killall gnome-power-manager
$ gnome-power-manager
This has worked every time so far.
