Whenever I boot or reboot the system my brightness returns to 100% always, I set it to 5-10% but when I boot again boom “flash grenade sounds intensifies”, it returns to 100%
Any solution?
Hi @ARSManiac ,
Did you have set to never the brightness reduction under SettingsPower managerDisplay Tab?
Regards,
Nothing I do there changes the situation… still 100% brightness every boot…
It’s not a deal breaker but I’d like the system remembered the percentage of brightness I left last time so I do not have to change it every time, I had problems int the past with this laptop regarding brightness: Manjaro does not change screen brightness - #2 by Mangetsu

inxi: 3.3.38Is it possibly a hardware related setting, like an Fn Key?
I think not, All Fn Keys working on this clean install.
So anyway, I woke this morning and voila! Brightness Fn Keys (F2 & F3) not working (all other yes)…
And I started thinking, I didn’t update or anything but, yesterday before I going to bed I installed KDEnlive, OBS, Openshot & Shotcut and then turned off the laptop…
Could it be that? Because this installation was working perfect until then…
I tried solving the problem booting up with Kernel 5.15 (failsafe, worked in the past) but to no avail…
I solved the problem installing the command-line tool brightnessctl from manjaro repo, then I typed the command brightnessctl s 5% and it worked:
brightnessctl s 5%
Updated device 'radeon_bl0':
Device 'radeon_bl0' of class 'backlight':
Current brightness: 13 (5%)
Max brightness: 255
So, not only I didn’t solve the current problem (Manjaro still don’t remember the brightness setting), other appeared (like Joe Hendry)…
I really need so low brightness:
brightnessctl s 5%
Updated device 'radeon_bl0':
Device 'radeon_bl0' of class 'backlight':
Current brightness: 13 (5%)
Max brightness: 255
That’s because I have an health condition that I need a medication once per month, but the side effect is it turns me very sensitive to artificial light so I have my Tablets, Mobile Phones and PC’s backlight as minimum as possible…

So today when I boot up Manjaro after lunch, Fn keys F2 & F3 are working again, what the hell is going on?
Still, brightness 100% every boot tho…
first:
the display manager (where you log in) can’t know of any setting that you did while being logged in
… not before you are actually being logged in would any saved setting apply …
You could (presumably) run this brightnessctl script as soon as the display manager starts - or include it in your session startup script.
Yes I do the command brightnessctl every start…
Can you explain how I do the script in my session startup?
Not “ready to use” - no.
Lots of things are started when the Xfce4 session is started.
I could only refer you to those - review that list.
Settings → System → Session and Startup → second tab:
Application Autostart
start it from there - look at how the present ones are started and take them as examples
But then still the brightness of the login manager would be too high (default).
xfce4-session:preferences - Application Autoustart [Xfce Docs]
Click + Add to add brightnessctl command

Thank you so much, this solve my problem!
It’s important for me because of my condition, now I can boot into a confortable desktop environement with low brightness, perfect for my sight…
Once again thank you all for your time!
