Dear Debian community, I am facing an issue with my Dell laptop, running Debian.
After recently upgrade, my external keyboard and external mouse (both USB) stopped working after after the screen brightness automatically decreased. This has occurred a few times, and I can only solve it by rebooting the laptop.
Furthermore, I have observed that the issue is also related to the behavior of screen brightness, which seems to decrease automatically.
Disconnecting and reconnecting the devices does not solve the problem. Any guidance or suggestions would be welcome. I found related problem at the internet. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=291592 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=291555 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=291931 :~$ uname
