After performing a system update 45 minutes ago, the screen brightness control (both the keyboard shortcut and the UI when clicking the settings menu in the top bar) is broken - my eyeballs are currently being fried. Furthermore, brightness adjustment is painfully slow, and again, does nothing. Toggling night light brings my system to a crawl for 3 seconds or so before resuming normal operation, but does work. Also, hibernation works - I can force my machine in and out of hibernation, but my CPU fan kicks on at regular intervals in a pattern. Every five seconds or so, this pattern repeats. It has two very short (~0.1s) pulses, then a slightly longer one (~0.5s) after a brief interval of silence. It is very faint when they do kick on. I'm seeing a ton of amdgpu errors in my logs (138 in a span of two minutes), only occurring exactly after doing the update. The two errors are generated anew each time I try to adjust the brightness. The errors in question are the same two: "amdgpu 0000:05:00.0: [drm] *ERROR* dc_dmub_srv_log_diagnostic_data: DMCUB error - collecting diagnostic data" and "amdgpu 0000:05:00.0: [drm] *ERROR* Error queueing DMUB command: status=2", generated in that order. Rebooting, manually shutting the machine off and on again and suspending do nothing. (Relevant) System information: * Lenovo ThinkPad E14 G6 * Unmodified (by me) AMD Rembrandt Radeon 680M on the amdgpu driver which came with Fedora. * Kernel version 7.2.5-200.fc44.x86_64 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Perform a system update to kernel version 7.2.5-200.fc44.x86_64 on my hardware. 2. Have eyeballs fried upon boot. 3. Cry. Actual Results: * The display brightness was stuck on max without remedy. * Toggling the night light slows my system to a crawl for three or so seconds. * CPU fans kick on in the pattern described in the description. Expected Results: * The display brightness should be modifiable as before the update. * Toggling night light should work as before the update - responding immediately, not slowing the system noticeably. * CPU fans should remain off during hibernation as they were before the update.
Apparently this is related to the latest firmware, please try booting into a previous kernel, downgrading amd-gpu-firmware and regenerating the initrd. Cc'ing linux-firmware maintainer.
Thank you!
Using Grub to go to kernel version 7.1.13-200.fc44.x86_64 fixes the issue.
