+ guidance-power-manager cannot set the brightness / backlight of my Dell
+ Latitude D620 notebook computer. The module dcdbas is loaded.
  
  I get the following error message:
  
  Warning: in getBrightness():  org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
