[Brightness] I can't change brightness level #936

Bug Report

Description

Affected module: brightness Version used: latest git

#### How to reproduce i just installed the package and all the suggested dependencies, then i add the brightness module in the status command of my i3 config. However for some reason that i didn't get, the brightness module on the bar is completely static, through it i cannot change brightness level by scrolling or in any other interactive way. What can be the causes?
tobi-wan-kenobi commented 1 year ago

If you use commandline tools such as xbacklight or light, does the backlight change?

theWhiteRabbit511 commented 1 year ago

neither :(

tobi-wan-kenobi commented 1 year ago

OK, then it probably is not an issue caused by bumblebee, but something on the system.

Is it a laptop? And if so, can you please let me know the graphics chip (lspci)? Sometimes, you need specific drivers or settings to support backlight.

theWhiteRabbit511 commented 1 year ago

I have two graphic cards in my laptop one dedicated nvdia rtx 3050 m and one integrated amd ati 05:00.0 Lucienne that i think i'm using right now

tobi-wan-kenobi commented 1 year ago

Hmmmm, maybe you have to use the other one? Or maybe you need special drivers or userspace tools.

Sorry for not being able to help more, but maybe this gives you some pointers already.

theWhiteRabbit511 commented 1 year ago

don't worry i thank you so much anyway, you're really helpful

tobi-wan-kenobi commented 1 year ago

I foind this pretty thorough, maybe t is useful:

theWhiteRabbit511 commented 1 year ago

thanks to the wiki i achieve to make xbacklight working but brightness still static and not interactive, and if want it to display the exact value of brightness i have to click on it

tobi-wan-kenobi commented 1 year ago

Can you please uninstall light again, afaicr, bumblebee uses light and falls back to xbacklight, if light is not available.

theWhiteRabbit511 commented 1 year ago

Problem solved ty! I give sudo pacman -Rns light acpilight brightnessctl then reboot and then i reinstalled them and now everything work fine.

Oh, that is great to hear, thanks!
