I fully expect you to fix my pet peeve. After every software update, I have to take the L5 into a darkroom to change the brightness. Because it can barely be seen. Must be some config item that gets overwritten every time.
I have never experienced this. Did you leave the cloaking device function on the phone on?

I haven’t seen that either. Is this on Byzantium? If you’re able to do a clean flash (even temporarily, e.g. you can do a backup and revert to your backup after testing), does it still occur then? Let me know and I’ll file an issue appropriately.

I checked my archives and mails and I found it: I have had the same issue in 2023, see here How to change the Screen Brightness from cmd line?
Later it went away by its own.
Btw: we should move this to a new subject topic and not discuss it here in Actual staffing.

Remind me the backup and flash procedure. I only use my L5 to call my Android when I lose it in the house. Otherwise I get more blue update notification lights per month than phone calls.
I got one of those early (before USA) L5’s. Don’t if it is byzantim anymore or what.
I probably need a reminder how to clear those old updates from storage there was a thread on that once.

If updates have anything to do with it, apparently they’re not really taking.

At least I wasn’t the only one. Wondered if I had the same “what I saw” issue as “Neville in Death in Paradise” season 13, episode 8. But I didn’t take allergy meds followed by a rum punch.

There is no official backup procedure, but there are instructions for reflashing the Librem 5:
sudo apt autoremove
