Automatic Brightness Stuck On - biketool - 06-25-2021

Settings->Power->Automatic Brightness toggle
I can click the toggle to off and on as many times as I like the Automatic brightness stays stuck in the on setting
it never turns grey from blue and strangely never even completes its animmation and gets 'stuc' sometimes before completing it's slide to the left.
Is there a .conf file I can edit to fix this until the GUI works?
Also automatic brightness seems to slowly dial itself to the lowest setting over a minute to two without apparently adapting to ambient light.

Did you ever get this resolved? I'm having the same issue.

It has been a maybe six months and I did fix the problem, but I think I either had a wipe and reload or I found a fix to force it back to normal, maybe editing a config file.
Since then I have not tried to toggle it, post if you find a solution to the problem.
Honestly I think the new install when I got my 3/32 upgrade board happened though I feel like I found a fix that worked directly.
I tried to toggle it just now and it didn't' work correctly, it still seems to have the same issue, switch toggled but no blue in the 'switch' to indicate it did anything, I am surprised that it didn't get fixed since last year considering all of the great work that has been done to Mobian.

My solution was to use dconf-editor to change the setting in /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/ambient-enabled to false. But the toggle is still not functional in the settings app.
