Dell 7590 Issues #16

Open zbraniecki opened 5 years ago

zbraniecki commented 5 years ago

I installed arch linux with this package on Dell XPS 7590 OLED, and when I try to dim the screen I noticed two issues:

1) The brightness adapt correctly when operating in higher ranges - 50-100%. When operating in low light environment and trying to work between 10-50%, it does not dim the way MacBook Pro's Retina screen dims. It rather feels "burned out" - it does get darker, but still kind of "bright". I'm not very familiar with the color terminology, so not sure how to describe it, but it still feels very saturated and intense, compared to low brightness on Retina.

2) There's a weird light "bleeding" between 20-40%. When I set to 10%, it looks ok (minus what I wrote in (1)) - it's black background with white letters on a terminal. When I'm at 40%, it looks ok as well. But at 20% and 30% I see a gradual bright-to-dark from left to right which looks as if there was a light source bleeding from the left, in a radial shape. The closer to the right side of the screen the more black it is and close to it, it's full black. At 20% the radius is close to the middle of the screen, and the left side is fairly "bleeding light", while the right side is black, and at 30% 2/3 of the screen are bleeding, and the rightmost 1/3 is black.

Is that a shortcoming of this app, or the OLED/Wayland/Linux situation?

I experience a similar behaviour on the same hardware and OS. Maybe this snippet from dmesg is helpful. This block is printed out everytime I in/decrease brightness.

I have the Dell 7590 and would love to see a picture of this. I am not sure if I see this issue or not. If I am seeing the issue... it would take a trained eye to see it. As for the ACPI issues above, I believe that is just a kernel/BIOS bug WRT to ACPI, and is known by the Linux kernel already.

As I am also on the 7590 I didn't want to open up a new thread. I started icc-brightness watch and was able to increase / decrease the brigthness. After like 10 miutes, i pressed again the buttons and nothing happened. In the console i can see this:

./icc-brightness watch profile object path '/org/freedesktop/ColorManager/profiles/icc_cb0062620d84fa82233e0c4d509347fc_al_1000' does not exist for this device ERROR: device-make-profile-default Traceback (most recent call last): File "./icc-brightness", line 136, in main icc_brightness_apply() File "./icc-brightness", line 108, in icc_brightness_apply icc_brightness(brightness, max_brightness) File "./icc-brightness", line 94, in icc_brightness get_device_id(), object_path], check=True) File "/usr/lib/python3.7/subprocess.py", line 512, in run output=stdout, stderr=stderr) subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['colormgr', 'device-make-profile-default', '/org/freedesktop/ColorManager/devices/xrandr_eDP_1_al_1000', '/org/freedesktop/ColorManager/profiles/icc_cb0062620d84fa82233e0c4d509347fc_al_1000']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

same problem as @paines. Also on Dell 7590

Problem is intermittent, (only occurs for certain brightness steps). I can't find a pattern, the stops that work seem to change as I transition brightness up and down

mikicz commented 4 years ago

I've got a Dell XPS 7590 with Fedora 30 / Wayland. Until some time ago icc-brightness worked for me fine and now suddenly it doesn't, can't figure out why. When I run watch manually I don't get any errors, the brightness just doesn't change. When I run clean it does remove the profiles, but again no change. This is with both the night light off and on.

paines commented 4 years ago

Thanks guys for chiming in. I am running Debian Testing with Kernel 5.3. and without Wayland. Maybe it's an Kernel / ACPI thing ?

gregoliver commented 4 years ago

Same laptop here and I have been running this since Fedora 30 (running 31 now). While it still works for me, it only increases brightness to about 50% now. I have to go into the settings (gnome) and pick the color profile with the highest brightness to get it to go over approximately 50%. I do get the same kernel messages about failure though. I have way more color profiles created than button presses though - I think this may have something to do with the 50%, but I am afraid if I "clean" them and start over, the kernel issue will keep it from working at all.

uipoet commented 4 years ago

I run icc-brightness clean and then immediately icc-brightness apply to reset whenever the brightness settings start being ignored on my Thinkpad X1 Extreme (gen 2) with OLED.

Here's mine at night, ~20% brightness. XPS 9570 / Wayland / Ubuntu 18.04.

I forked system76-oled and adapted it to work under Dell XPS 15 7590. You can find it here

zbraniecki commented 4 years ago

@paines this is for X.org, right? I believe this repo is about Wayland.

gregoliver commented 4 years ago

Also, Dell is spelled as "Del" in the patch - one is wrong the patch, or their DMI.

:)

paines commented 4 years ago

@gregoliver: Thanks for pointing out. Emacs ate that "l" for some reason. However I doubt the identifier does anything.

@Zibi Braniecki: I was not aware that this projet is about wayland, as it is no where mentioned at all. Anyway, thanks for pointing that out too.

I've the same issues too. But is seems that all the problems are related to the underlying colormgr (https://github.com/hughsie)

Running up to date Archlinux on a Dell XPS 7590, OLED 4K with Wayland (XOrg doesn't work too)

As you can see colormgr does not detect the monitor itself.

Are you sure running wayland? There's XRANDR mentioned.

I know... I think I am? I don't know how else to check it beyond

▶ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
wayland
jnko commented 4 years ago

Hmmm, are you sure running wayland? Beside echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE wayland there's XRANDR mentioned. And XRANDR is X11.

(Sorry, re-posted because I re-checked it against X11)

zbraniecki commented 4 years ago

yeah, so I don't know what is going on, just that brightness adjusting works for me? Is it possible that SESSION_TYPE is wayland and I am on X11 somehow? I'm on Gnome.

@Zibi Braniecki:

you could check with "loginctl"

output: SESSION UID USER SEAT TTY 2 1000 al seat0 tty2 c1 121 gdm seat0 tty1

then choose the id for your user, in this example it is "2"

loginctl show-session 2 -p Type

output: Type=x11 -> for me

I'm also having the same problem with certain brightness levels not working on this Dell. However, if I open up the color profiles menu under gnome-settings, I am able to manually select the levels that I can't get to with the brightness keys. Seems there's just a problem in the way this is telling colormgr to switch profiles.

@uipoet approach worked for me. clean and then apply.

rando-m commented 4 years ago

@uipoet approach also worked for me. Dell XPS 15 7590 4k oled + nvidia 1650, dual-booting windows 10 & ubuntu 19.10. Running icc-brightness clean then icc-brightness apply immediately solved the issue, and the brightness keys began working again. Note: I'm currently on the Nvidia Prime-Select profile Nvidia On-Demand.

Side Note: I still haven't solved the screen tearing that occurs when using the Nvidia 1650 card... I finally gave up and started using the "On-Demand" nvidia-settings profile mentioned above. It uses the Intel integrated graphics 99.99% of the time, forcing me to boot into Windows to do anything GPU-taxing. :/

If anyone solves that, you'll be my hero.

@johan-andersson01 For me this is an hardware issue with your OLED screen, Dell will change your unit, i receive a new one very soon. Test it on Windows, you will find out.

I have a Dell XPS 7390 (running Ubuntu 20.04 / X / i3) and I'm seeing the exact same issue. No matter what I do, colormgr fails:

$ ./icc-brightness clean               
$ ./icc-brightness apply

When I run the above colormgr command manually, I get:

$ colormgr import-profile /tmp/brightness_112872_120000.icc
The profile was not added in time
