description |
I expected the computer to go to sleep while idle and for the brightness controller to now keep the computer brightness at the setting I keep it at.
What happened instead is the screen did not go to sleep and I awoke to the screen flickering from excessively dim, to 100% bright, to black. With dim approximately 95% of the time, bright approximately 4% of the time and completely black 1% of the time and now the brightness controller really has no bearing whatsoever; however, here are some additional clues to the source of the problem...
Temporary Solution to stop the flickering but not fix the issue but may assist in troubleshooting the source of the problem: moving my brightness controller to about ~5%-10% area now keeps the screen on 100% brightness with no flickering. This at least makes the computer usable. Dragging the brightness controller anywhere produced the same result, minimum, maximum, inbetween, except for this sweet spot I have found in the low 5% range that is keeping the screen at 100% oddly enough which makes the computer usable. This is of course subject to change after writing for I am going 10 minutes strong right now.
I spent the past 6 hours troubleshooting myself with all the so-call fixes like switching from wayland to xorg and editing xorgconf.d file to include DRI 3 module, or to set tear to true etc. I modified the grub file to no avail. I have everything back to the default settings now. I do not believe this issue is hardware specific because I have 100% brightness with the brightness controller on around 5% which has stopped the flickering for now but now resolved the fact the brightness-controller is seemingly on the fritz; something to do with brightness and the graphics card drivers seems at fault. This computer has operated Ubuntu for approximately 90 days with absolute perfection until now; I love Ubuntu.
This bug is a possible security vulnerability as the computer should logout and be idle and not stay logged in with a flickering screen, also there is yet no proof an outside actor did not target this computer and cause this random defection nor was this instantiated after any updates and this began while the computer was idle and should have went to sleep but instead triggered this flickering.
