I can confirm this bug, exactly the same happens with my Samsung NF310 netbook. dmesg shows lots of ACPI: Failed to switch the brightness messages. I can stop the flickering by setting a value manually via console. Doesn't happen with GNOME. KDE-version is 4.7.2, openSUSE 12.1. same flickering with FN-brighter (or via battery monitor slider), no reaction with FN-darker on a Samsung Chronos 7 notebook I confirm flickering with FN-"brighter" (or via battery monitor slider), no reaction with FN-"darker" on a Samsung Chronos 7 notebook Linux 3.1.10-1.9-desktop x86_64 KDE: 4.8.2 (4.8.2) "release 494" no hint on message.log I updated to OpenSuse 12.2 (linux 3.4.6): problem solved, screen brightness can be adjusted as expected with FN keys or slider in the power widget ! (kde 4.9.1 Samsung Chronos 7 notebook) This is *not* solved! It just occurred here on openSUSE 12.1, KDE 4.9.4. I suspect there is some race between kded services that set the brightness, because pressing the keys to adjust brightness is not always accompanied with display of the brightness level, and with previous versions of KDE attempting to adjust brightness by one step would result in adjusting it twice, once as expected and another time higher or lower at random! This is very annoying and I'm surprised it has persisted for so long. A possible workaround for the "strobe effect" is to kill kded. This bug appeared to me too, on arch and chakra with KDE 4.9.4 update. Bug is still present in both KDE 4.9.5 and KDE 4.10 RC2. Bug present in Arch, KDE 4.9.4 and 4.9.5.... and also 4.10 rc Similar here with 4.9.5 on Fedora 17, Dell Inspiron 1470 On KDE SC 4.10.0 bug is no longer present. This bug should be fixed in 4.10.0, can anybody reproduce it? Setting it as needs info I cant't confirm or infirm as I can not change the brightness due to a fancy new bug anyway...... For each bug solve two new bugs incoming... no problems on my Samsung Chronos 7 notebook since Sep2012. Meanwhile I'm running OpenSuse 12.3, Linux 3.7.10-1.1 and KDE 4.10.1 Works fine with Kubuntu 13.04 (KDE 4.10.2). |
Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.3) OS: Linux This occur when : When the computer is not Plugged in alternative Current (when plugged, I can't change the brightness) AND WHEN I go away for a while and the system want to lower the brightness down of my laptop to lower powerconsumption when computer is not use Or when I try to change the brightness with hotkeys, as well as slider of the battery management WHAT HAPPEN The brighntess goes down and up and down and up etc... it shows the brightness control bar but you can't stop it either with hotkeys, nor with the slider of battery management applet. I once had ksysguard on and I saw that the CPU is working at 100%, hence the computer become unusable ....( I have to shut down with the switch...) hence i categorized as a Major Bug Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Just unplugg my laptop and don't touch it for a small while...
