[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1724933] Re: I can't adjust display brightness
Thanks Neil! This method works fine. I hope someday somebody will fix it. In any case, I'll leave it here: Step 1: Fire a terminal (Obviously) Step 2: Finding the correct module. Run the following command: $ ls /sys/class/backlight/ This should list down two modules: acpi_video0 and intel_backlight We need to know which module is exactly controlling the brightness. Run the below command: (You need to be root) # tee /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness <<< 5 If nothing happens, then intel_backlight is the one handling the brightness settings. Step 3: Modifying the bootloader. Next step is modifying the file /etc/default/grub. (Why modify /etc/default/grub and not /boot/grub/grub.cfg) # nano /etc/default/grub Insert the below four lines: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_backlight=none" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_backlight=video" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_backlight=vendor" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_backlight=native" After that save and close the file. (Root access needed) Run (as root): # update-grub Step 4: Reboot your system. Step 5: Verification After reboot, fire the terminal one last time and Run the following command: $ ls /sys/class/backlight/ 12 Voila acpi_video0 is gone! Check the fn+Brightness keys or change the brightness via the applet. Brightness controls should work just fine.
