Hi! I have a notebook Acer Nitro AN515-58 and I had installed Ubuntu on it instead of Win11.
It has 2 issues: 1) the web camera doesn't work; 2) the brightness control doesn't work.
I had tried to reinstall Ubuntu 20.04 / 22.04 multiple times, but that didn't help.
So, my current configuration: Ubuntu 22.04, kernel 5.19.0-35-generic, Nvidia-drivers version 530.30.02, nouveau blacklisted.
1)Web camera issue the same as in this post with the same outputs:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AcerNitro/comments/ys6k0o/acer_nitro_5_an51558_no_driver_linux_for_camera/
They say that there is a problem with drivers, but I have available Acer Nitro AN515-57 with the same camera and Ubuntu 20.04 and it has no issues. So, I would be grateful for a piece of advice on what I can check.
2)Brightness control doesn't work
Slider on the menu, fn+keys, xbacklight can't change my brightness. After logging out/suspending and reentering it also doesn't work.
I tried:
- Different Nvidia drivers (515, 525, 530, all proprietary, not open)
- Ubuntu 20/22
- Adding Option “RegistryDwords” “EnableBrightnessControl=1” to Nvidia config (freezing during boot)
- Deleting xorg.conf.new (nothing). Reinstalling xorg server
- nvidia-xconfig (freezing during boot)
- Adding acpi_backlight=.. (all combinations) to grub (nothing changed)
- Adding "nvidia.NVreg_EnableBacklightHandler=1" to grub (nothing)
- It also doesn't work without Nvidia drivers (xorg-xserver nouveau)
Please, help me)
