No, liveCD was probably suggested just for convenience if you did not have Hardy installed - testing your installed Hardy partition would be sufficient.
I don't know how to solve this problem, however my one observation would be that this is likely an ACPI issue rather than something specific to gnome-power-manager, so this bug may be mis-filed. If the issue manifests *only* when X is running, it might also be an issue with your X driver. -- xset fails to turn off LCD screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140644 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
