Cannot get brightness keys to work on Ubuntu 22.04 / Lenovo IdeaPad 5

ge flag

I have IdeaPad 5 15IAL7 on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, kernel 5.19.0-46-generic. It is Intel Core i5 with Intel Iris XE graphics. Special Fn keys all work, except the brightness. Volume is changing with appropriate indication on screen. It tried everything I could find:

  1. xev does not display any events when brightness keys are pressed, however, it detects volume;
  2. showkey does not detect brightness, but detects volume;
  3. acpi_listen does not detect brightness keys, but detects volume;
  4. evtest does not detect brightness either. But it shows this:
Event code 224 (KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN)
Event code 225 (KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP)
  1. Adjusting GRUB parameters like acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor does nothing (tried other combinations also)
  2. xbacklight prints "No outputs have backlight property"
  3. brightnessctl shows:
Device 'intel_backlight' of class 'backlight':
    Current brightness: 21333 (100%)
    Max brightness: 21333
  1. If I change setting directly, it changes brightness:

echo 10666 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness

  1. I can change brightness with a slider in settings, so it means it works, the problem is just with keys.

I suppose this my be problem with hardware support in kernel, but maybe something can be done with it?

Issue fixed after updating to kernel version 6.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
