Bug Description
A friend of mine has a TOSHIBA SATELLITE C55-C and I installed xUbuntu 20.04 LTS.
I have a minor problem linked to a major problem :
- Minor problem : it is impossible to adjust the light of the screen.
- Major problem : when closing the laptop screen and opening it again, the light of the screen stay off and it is impossible to turn it on again.
Can you help me ?
Detail behaviour without changing anything
-------
I discovered that the keyboard button controls the `/sys/class/
You can change screen light value with the light keyboard buttons, but it does not change anything. The only thing that change is that if you set the light to '0', then the screen light is off. And when you put a value more than '0' then the screen light is full luminosity ('1' is the same effect as '1000').
Not working solutions
-------
I have tried a lot of things hoping for a solving solution :
In `/etc/default/
- GRUB_CMDLINE_
- GRUB_CMDLINE_
- GRUB_CMDLINE_
- GRUB_CMDLINE_
- GRUB_CMDLINE_
- GRUB_CMDLINE_
I have read :

Not acceptable solution : 'acpi=off'
-------
The only solution I have found "working" is to set "GRUB_CMDLINE_
That way, when closing the laptop screen : the light goes off. And when opening the laptop screen : the light goes on (max value).
In this configuration, it is impossible to adjust the screen light by modifying /sys/class/
For example : 'echo 0 > /sys/class/
I thought it was an acceptable behaviour, until I saw a major problem.
The computer is slower than before, because only 1 CPU (instead of 4) is detected.
So I can't stay with that configuration.
