Since I upgraded to the Kubuntu beta, when my display auto dims due to inactivity, the pop-up brightness meter displays as if i was dimming it manually with the keypress. It should only do this if I'm actually pressing the key. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-11.17-generic 3.11.3 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-11-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Oct 4 00:40:54 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-05-03 (153 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130424) Reproducible: Always Actual Results: When the screen auto dims due to inactivity the brightness meter appears Expected Results: It should not appear.
Laptop in question is a Thinkpad X1 Carbon
Also seeing this problem on a Samsung R720 with ATI HD4000 series graphics
I see this too, on a Thinkpad X60 (Kubuntu Saucy, KDE 4.11.2 It happens all the time: - when the screensaver dims due to inactivity - when I wake the machine from screen-blank. (I think I've also seen this on my desktop machine, which flashes the notification very fast, as if it *would* dim the screen, but actually, the screen brightness isn't changing). Please fix this: it may be a trivial bug, but it's really quite distracting, especially on resume. Thanks very much
Also, when the brightness adjustment keys are used on my X1 Carbon, the meter does not appear.

I confirm this inconvenient and unavoidable behaviour. I love KDE- and KDE application- developers for only adding nice-to-have features, if they can be suppressed by the user. However, this brightness-OSD from hell is not an example to follow :-)
I confirm this also in Linux Mint 16 KDE 64 bit Edition. (KDE 4.11.2). Asus UL80VT.

This is particularly problematic if one is giving a LibreOffice presentation in front of a large audience.
If LibreOffice doesn't request screen saver inhibition during a presentation, please report it there.
Thanks, Christoph. Done: https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=80729
This has been fixed for Plasma 5 where the OSD will only ever show up if the user manually touched the brightness, never if the system automatically does it.
Very nice, thanks so much!
