Not me. I'm using Ubuntu 20.04. Until it's made available by the software update mechanisms I won't touch it.
But "brightness regressions"? We're talking about basic control. How does passing regression tests helps this issue? Or did people ignore regression tests before releasing the 450 series? We can use xrandr(1) but most people will be uncomfortable with this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-455 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1905591 Title: no brightness control after update from 450 to 455 Status in OEM Priority Project: New Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-455 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: On my Lenovo X1 Extreme with GPU: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile] Updating to nvidia-driver-455 results in loss of brightness control. On boot, the laptop display brightness is somewhat less than fully bright and cannot be changed. The brightness up/down keys do pop up the gnome gui brightness widget, and /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_0/* values do change, but the actual display's brightness does not. Problem occurs with either version of nvidia-driver-455 (the archive or the ~graphics-drivers/PPA). Normal functionality returns if I downgrade to any version of nvidia-driver-450. Note also that manually applying this to /lib/systemd/system/nvidia-persistenced.service has no effect on the problem: https://github.com/hugh712/nvidia-graphics-drivers/commit/bccad5ee6444dd8c5c47ba19ea0232106a1086f5 Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS Release: 18.04 Codename: bionic kernel: 5.4.0-54-generic #60~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 6 17:25:16 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux nvidia-driver-455: 455.38-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1905591/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
