I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 on a laptop which has an LED keyboard and after the latest OS update the keyboard LED's come on and won't turn off no matter what I do.
There's a keyboard shortcut for controlling the LED's which is no longer working and I've also trying setting the brightness manually using the brightnessctl tool but that didn't work.
Running uname -a returns:
6.5.0-14-generic #14~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Nov 20 18:15:30 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Any ideas how I can work around that? I just need to turn the LED's off.
Thanks
uname -aand copy and paste the output into the question above. Use the Edit button above. Try booting to the last kernel using GRUB and see if the keyboard backlight can be turned off. Add if it works with the old kernel in your question. If it works with the old kernel and does not work with the new kernel, File a bug report. – user68186 Jan 17 '24 at 22:38unamecommand in the question above. Ok, I see, I'll try to do that, thanks! – Sidisyom Jan 17 '24 at 22:46
