Thank you for you help to resolve this trouble. I really appreciate it. Outputs of "upower --dump" can be found in attachments. * Battery_mode_after_boot - laptop has been turned on with unplugged AC power; * AC_mode_after_boot - few minutes after log in session I plugged AC power. Nothing changed; * AC_mode_after_boot_changed - after about 5 minutes screen brightness was increased and AC power mode was activated; * gpm.gconf.values.txt - gpm settings dump. Why does it takes core so much time to switch between power modes in Ubuntu 10,04? Please help me solve and correct this bug. 2010/10/2 ybaruss
