The laptop has Fs keys (F1, F2, F3...) and when you push and hold the "Fn" key those F1, F2, F3,... act as media keys. The thing is Bazzite does detect the push of the other combination (for example Fn+F1 which is mute) but it doesn't do anything when using the brightness key (for example "Fn+F11").

I don't know where to start to diagnose this.

Just installed it using ujust. Doesn't seem to find any devices. Not sure how to proceed from here.

Thanks for the answer. When I try to bind the keys it doesn't recognize the keypress.

The brightness keys in this computer are Fn+F11 (bright down) and Fn+F12 (bright up), and when I go to Keyboard shortcuts/Energy/Screen brightness up (Crudely translated to english) the key is already there. The problem is that pressing those function keys the system doesn't recognize them.

It's a Lenovo Ideapad 330-15ICH

You are completely right. Is a Lenovo Ideapad, don't remember the exact model, I'll add it tomorrow.

 

Hey everyone, I’ve got Bazzite installed on my laptop and everything is working great so far. The only issue I’m running into is that the brightness function keys (increase/decrease screen brightness) aren’t doing anything.

Has anyone dealt with this? Any tips on how to properly configure or remap the brightness keys under Bazzite? I don't really know where to start and searching for info hasn't provided anything useful.

Thanks!

EDIT: the laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad 330-15ICH

I'm giving up on this. I have tried everything and I can't make it work, so bye bye GPU.

Not sure how to change the driver to AMDGPU, I blacklisted the Radeon driver but the kernel didn't load the other one. I read somewhere that I have to do a initframs update but the command doens't exist in truenas scale. How do I force to load the other driver?

Thanks for the answer.

Just checked with lspci -v and it says radeon:

Is that the one it's supposed to be active?

About the allocate thing, I think that is a number and not an index in an array. I think that you can allocate as many gpus you want:

I've seen that same menu in screenshots and I'm supposed to be able to choose something different from zero.

 

Hello c/Selfhosted!

Although I'm still new with truenas, I've been a happy truenas scale hoster for a year more or less and I've been increasing the reach of my self hosted server little by little.

The problem came when I decided to add jellyfin and a GPU for encoding. My server is mostly made of old parts and the GPU is not different. The GPU is recognized by truenas scale as a "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde PRO [Radeon HD 7750/8740 R7 250E", which AFAIK has hardware encoding/decoding as per Jellyfin wiki.

But the only place I can see the GPU is in lspci and in System Settings/Isolated GPU PCI Ids (and it's not isolated). Whenever I try to change the configuration of an app to allocate the GPU I can only select "Allocate 0 amd.com/gpu GPU", there are no more options.

I've searched for this a lot but I found very little info about AMD GPUs and how to debug this issue.

I'am missing something? Could anybody point me in the right direction? Any commands I can run to diagnose?

Thanks for reading!
