I just built ddcutil v2.0.0 from the source https://github.com/rockowitz/ddcutil/tree/2.0.0-release in my Debian system and I cannot reproduce the error. It could of course be just the Arch release has some issues.

@prodrigestivill could you post the output of in your system with 2.0.0

ddcutil getvcp 10 --brief --bus 5
prodrigestivill commented 1 year ago

The requested output is:

But I'm starting to thing it might not only be a ddcutil version issue.

It is true, that I require to enable this extension setting:

Otherwise no brightnes bar appear.

Here is the output using version 1.4.1 without disabling display state check:

gnome-shell[1887]: display-brightness-ddcutil extension:

                   ddcutil reading display status for bus: 5 is: VCP D6 ERR

Also as a note, I'm using nvidia propietary driver that requires the following module options (/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf):

options nvidia NVreg_RegistryDwords=RMUseSwI2c=0x01;RMI2cSpeed=100
trucndt commented 1 year ago

Same issue here, it is stuck at "Initializing" with ddcutil 2.0.0

daitj commented 1 year ago

@prodrigestivill What is the output of 

ddcutil getvcp D6 --brief --bus 5

I want to know if monitor's state is detect correctly and also

ddcutil getvcp 10 --brief --bus 5 2>/dev/null

I want to know if that busno=5. Monitor apparently returns -EIO for unsupported features. This cannot be relied on. message is redirected ot stdout ot stderr

Just FYI, in newer version of Nvidia driver you do not need this anymore. I do not think this is the issu though. 

options nvidia NVreg_RegistryDwords=RMUseSwI2c=0x01;RMI2cSpeed=100
prodrigestivill commented 1 year ago

Hello @daitj,

I removed the NVreg_RegistryDwords module option and it work the same way using the 1.4.1 without issues.

I also upgraded to 2.0.0 and those are the output you requested:

$ ddcutil getvcp D6 --brief --bus 5
busno=5. Monitor apparently returns -EIO for unsupported features. This cannot be relied on.
VCP D6 ERR
$ ddcutil getvcp 10 --brief --bus 5 2>/dev/null
busno=5. Monitor apparently returns -EIO for unsupported features. This cannot be relied on.
VCP 10 C 0 100

It looks like this error is printed to stdout, :(

Thanks for all the effort.

prodrigestivill commented 1 year ago

PD: as a note the version 47 is not yet uploaded to gnome extensions repository.
