Public bug reported: On my Lenovo X1 Extreme with GPU: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile]
Updating to nvidia-driver-455 results in loss of brightness control. On boot, the laptop display brightness is somewhat less than fully bright and cannot be changed. The brightness up/down keys do pop up the gnome gui brightness widget, and /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_0/* values do change, but the actual display's brightness does not. Problem occurs with either version of nvidia-driver-455 (the archive or the ~graphics-drivers/PPA). Normal functionality returns if I downgrade to any version of nvidia-driver-450. Note also that manually applying this to /lib/systemd/system/nvidia-persistenced.service has no effect on the problem: https://github.com/hugh712/nvidia-graphics-drivers/commit/bccad5ee6444dd8c5c47ba19ea0232106a1086f5 Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS Release: 18.04 Codename: bionic kernel: 5.4.0-54-generic #60~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 6 17:25:16 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux nvidia-driver-455: 455.38-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-455 (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: Triaged ** Attachment added: "nvidia-bug-report.log.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1905591/+attachment/5437972/+files/nvidia-bug-report.log.gz ** Description changed: On my Lenovo X1 Extreme with GPU: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile] Updating to nvidia-driver-455 results in loss of brightness control.
