Public bug reported: [Impact] Backlight sysfs knobs created by asus-wmi don't really work, hence systemd-backlight services are in failed state.
[Fix] Ensure the backlight device are really present [Test] With the fix applied, the backlight sysfs knobs are not longer present under /sys/class/backlight, so there's no more failed systemd-backlight service. [Where problems could occur] Though highly unlikely, but if there's working device that is created even when the WMI read is 0xffffffff, the device will be missing. ** Affects: hwe-next Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Status: Confirmed ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Low Status: Confirmed ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Mantic) Importance: Low Status: Confirmed ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Noble) Importance: Low Status: Confirmed ** Tags: anle oem-priority originate-from-2031862 ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Noble) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Mantic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Jammy) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Mantic) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Noble) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Mantic) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Noble) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Tags added: anle oem-priority originate-from-2031862 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2060422 Title: Avoid creating non-working backlight sysfs knob from ASUS board To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hwe-next/+bug/2060422/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
