[Bug 1535470] Re: Backlight brightness keys not working
Well, the main purpose of my comment was to give some hints to Ian with his laptop, in case it could help him, because we have some common hardware parts... I can fill a new bug for my case, but what do you mean by "Ubuntu repository kernel"? Currently, I'm running the 4.6 kernel from ~kernel-ppa/mainline/, which is also (in some way) an Ubuntu repository, isn't it? Should I switch back to the standard 4.4 kernel from main repository in order to fill my bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1535470 Title: Backlight brightness keys not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1535470/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

dhenry, it will help immensely if you filed a new report with the Ubuntu repository kernel (not mainline/upstream) via a terminal: ubuntu-bug linux Please feel free to subscribe me to it. For more on why this is helpful, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs. ** Tags removed: needs-upstream-testing-4.6-rc1 ** Tags added: needs-upstream-testing-4.7-rc2 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1535470 Title: Backlight brightness keys not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1535470/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1535470] Re: Backlight brightness keys not working
I have a different Clevo model (P751DM-G) but with same issue: the backlight Fn-keys doesn't work neither out of the box, nor with a kernel 4.6. Well, in fact, they work until I suspend/resume, and then they no longer work. Looking at acpi_listen, I noticed that after first suspend/resume cycle, some ACPI events where no longer triggered (like the backlight Fn-keys, but also the lid close!). I found a fix by loading a clevo-wmi driver. There are several clevo-wmi drivers on the internet (various attempts to write a driver for it...). For my laptop, I use: * https://bitbucket.org/lynthium/clevo-xsm-wmi (it aims at supporting all Clevo models) Since the clevo-xsm-wmi driver doesn't seem to handle your P65 model, you may need to try some other ones, like this one: * https://github.com/gamaral/clevo-wmi Maybe it could help for you too. To be honest, I have no idea why it did fix my backlight fn-keys, as those drivers are supposed to handle different features (keyboard backlight, rfkill switch, hw monitoring). Nevertheless, if I unload the module, then the issue happen again. Note that this workaround fixes the Fn-keys: the backlight popup notification appears and I can increase/decrease value, however it has no effect on the screen. This is just ACPI event that has been fixed. In order to really adjust LCD backlight, I have to play with nvidia-settings (with proprietary driver). Example, to set backlight brightness at 50%: nvidia-settings -n -a BacklightBrightness=50 Some glue is still missing to link ACPI events with nvidia-settings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1535470 Title: Backlight brightness keys not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1535470/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1535470] Re: Backlight brightness keys not working
Ian Booth, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. In order to allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue, at your earliest convenience, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D ? Please keep in mind the following: 1) The one to test is at the very top line at the top of the page (not the daily folder). 2) The release names are irrelevant. 3) The folder time stamps aren't indicative of when the kernel actually was released upstream. 4) Install instructions are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds . If testing on your main install would be inconvenient, one may: 1) Install Ubuntu to a different partition and then test this there. 2) Backup, or clone the primary install. If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this issue is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Where X, and Y are the first two numbers of the kernel version, and Z is the release candidate number if it exists. If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of kernel-bug-exists-upstream. Once testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, please mark this report's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1535470 Title: Backlight brightness keys not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1535470/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
