This appears to be related to the recent release of ddcutil 2.1.0, not a kernel change, and is similar to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476375 -- downgrading to ddcutil 2.0.0 is a temporary fix until this is addressed. For Arch, "sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/d/ddcutil/ddcutil-2.0.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst" will take you back. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 480030 *** |
