Keyboard backlight puts itself on ! #174

Closed nicobo closed 11 months ago

nicobo commented 1 year ago

Since several weeks (month?) the backlight of my InfinityBook S 15 keeps putting itself on alone from time to time. It never did before, It was staying off until I put it on by the dedicated keys. I've no idea why nor if it's a conflict with another key combination or a deamon that starts itself but it looks like it's like this since a tuxedo update.

Hello,

which system are you using? (distro/wm)

Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS with Gnome 42.5 (X11)

EpicWink commented 1 year ago

Having the same issue with Ubuntu 22.04.2 and Gnome 42, after DKMS installing v3.2.3 (was fine on v3.2.1). I can still turn the backlight off by lowering the brightness all the way

I try to reproduce it, can you help me with some more info?

Do you use tuxedo-control-center also or only tuxedo-keyboard? Does it still happen on the latest version of tuxedo-keyboard and tuxedo-control-center? If yes, which versions exactly? Which BIOS and EC firmware version are you on? Can you try to update and tell me if the issue persists?

What is the rough timespan the keyboard needs to turn back on again? What where you doing at that moment? Does it also happen when the device is idling?

Matombo commented 1 year ago

I think i could reproduce it (or at least something related to it). I Suspect a gnome bug behind this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/-/issues/745

I'm using control center 2.0.7 and : tuxedo-keyboard/3.2.5, 6.2.0-10007-tuxedo, x86_64: installed tuxedo-keyboard/3.2.5, 6.2.0-10010-tuxedo, x86_64: installed

I think it happens on some actions, not alone. The timestamp is around several minutes.

Still happening today.

I'm also experiencing : https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxedo-keyboard/issues/179

And :

BIOS 1.07.03RTR KB/EC 1.7.02TR1

BUT let me emphasize that it worked before and I haven't touched the firmware...

Matombo commented 1 year ago

Before the backlight was driver controlled only, now the driver is controlled by the desktop environment.

Can you name the actions that trigger the backlight turning on?

nicobo commented 1 year ago

OK that makes sense. But I'm struggling to find out what the event is. Do you have any recommendation about where to look at (some specific gnome logs maybe ?)

kiarn commented 1 year ago

Hello,

Same problem here, and it happens without any action from me: the keyboard backlight turns on when the environment reduces the luminosity of the screen backlight.

I'm using Ubuntu 22.04.3 with Mate environment.
