[Solved] Brightness Increase and Decrease Problem in Ubuntu-using grub Update
Brightness problem in Ubuntu is one of the major problem in many PCs and I have the same problem in my laptop Acer Aspire 3830 TG in Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal. When I use the function key and brightness button the indicator of brightness changes but there will be no change of brightness.
I searched in the web and found the many solutions but not working exactly for the problem. Before in my blog post I had given the solution for the brightness problem but I only changes the contrast. The battery power consumption is same if the display is more or less.
I have tried by updating the Kernel to the latest version. But I have found the best solution that can increase or decrease the brightness of the PC in Ubuntu using the function and brightness button. Just follow the steps:
Open terminal (Clt+Alt+T) and run the command given below:
Hope this Helps!

"Command not found" on my Samsung Laptop
ReplyDeleteI was playing around and noticed that my Ubuntu 12.04 changed a driver (probably my fault) to "ATI fire GL" i reverted it back to "ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver." It fixed my problem with changing brightness. I hope this gets to others and also that it help.
ReplyDeleteThis sets backlight to lowest brightness and there is no way to increase it.
