Always at max brightness after a reboot (amdgpu)

pyramidhead

Solus doesn't remember the brightness level I set after a reboot.

Huawei Matebook D 14 AMD Ryzen 5 3500u with integrated Vega 8 GPU.

This is the problem I suppose:

systemctl list-units | grep backlight
  sys-devices-pci0000:00-0000:00:08.1-0000:03:00.0-backlight-amdgpu_bl0.device                  loaded active plugged   /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:03:00.0/backlight/amdgpu_bl0           
● systemd-backlight@backlight:amdgpu_bl0.service                                                loaded failed failed    Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of backlight:amdgpu_bl0                    
  system-systemd\x2dbacklight.slice                                                             loaded active active    system-systemd\x2dbacklight.slice

Here is the relevant journalctl log:

sudo journalctl -b -u systemd-backlight@backlight:amdgpu_bl0.service

I'm interested to see what someone says. My Ryzen 3 Lenovo always boots with max brightness also. I just hit the function key and set it somewhere between 35-70% usually after I log in.

I did notice on a few other distros though it would retain the previous level after a reboot. It just didn't bother me enough to look into it.

A temporary fix by openSUSE. Can Solus devs do the same until it's fixed upstream?

Same issue with Ryzen 5 Laptop., hope there is a solution to this.
