Not working: Backlight screen brightness adjustement

Hi! i did add acpi_backlight=lenovo without success :confused:

Dear yusssufff,

A new Snap recipe was released by OpenMandriva. I tried the live media, and the brightness worked as expected. I compared the /etc/default/grub file (as highlighted above) with the live mediaโ€™s grub file. It seems these two lines were modified, so I added them to Rome 23โ€™s /etc/default/grub file.

Then I ran
update-grub2
and rebooted.

Now, everything is good, and the brightness works as expected 100%. I have tested it in both the X11 and Wayland editions of KDE Plasma 6 and 5. This might be helpful to you!

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT & GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_RECOVERY.

See the exact contents of the ACTIVE grub file of mine
