-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, XFCE, Leap 15.0 The laptop for some reason goes dark, and the keys to increase brightness do not work. I see this in the log, probably in response to my key press (but later, not the same instant): <10.5> 2019-02-05 02:02:15 minas-tirith pkexec 22358 - - cer: Executing command [USER=root] [TTY=unknown] [CWD=/] [COMMAND=/usr/sbin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper --set-brightness 0] and other numbers. Attempts to run the command on the cli fail. First, it complains that I have to be root. If root, then it complains something else: minas-tirith:~ # /usr/sbin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper --set-brightness 9 This program must only be run through pkexec minas-tirith:~ # That seems to do the trick: minas-tirith:~ # pkexec /usr/sbin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper --set-brightness 9 minas-tirith:~ The log responds: <3.6> 2019-02-05 02:10:15 minas-tirith dbus-daemon 4099 - - [session uid=1000 pid=4099] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.Notifications' requested by ':1.32' (uid=1000 pid=4252 comm="xfce4-power-manager --restart --sm-client-id 223bb") <10.7> 2019-02-05 02:10:32 minas-tirith pkexec - - - pam_systemd(polkit-1:session): Cannot create session: Already running in a session or user slice <10.6> 2019-02-05 02:10:32 minas-tirith pkexec - - - pam_unix(polkit-1:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0) <10.5> 2019-02-05 02:10:32 minas-tirith pkexec 22778 - - root: Executing command [USER=root] [TTY=/dev/pts/12] [CWD=/root] [COMMAND=/usr/sbin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper --set-brightness 9] <10.7> 2019-02-05 02:10:40 minas-tirith pkexec - - - pam_systemd(polkit-1:session): Cannot create session: Already running in a session or user slice <10.6> 2019-02-05 02:10:40 minas-tirith pkexec - - - pam_unix(polkit-1:session): session opened for user root by (uid=1000) <10.5> 2019-02-05 02:10:40 minas-tirith pkexec 22786 - - cer: Executing command [USER=root] [TTY=unknown] [CWD=/] [COMMAND=/usr/sbin/xfpm-power-backlight-helper --set-brightness 8] But as you see in the log, something is pusshing brightnees down automatically after I push it up! Damm it! Every 20" it goes down one notch, till it reaches 0. No, I'm not on battery. I have to keep running the command in a loop wit "watch" to keep it up. :-// This is stupid and horrible. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
