Thank you very much! It really helped me!
ReplyDeleteThanks, mate! It actually worked!
ReplyDeleteIn my case I have to change the line
ReplyDeleteecho 500 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
into
echo 4 > /sys/class/backlight/toshiba/brightness
due to hardware specification. Now it works! Thank you very muck!
Just a piece of advice prior to doing the procedure. Firstly you need to know what folder is inside /sys/class/backlight. Hence type:
ReplyDeletels /sys/class/backlight ----> This will give you the files inside. For me it was: acpi_video0. So, I complete answer for this one would be:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness --> shows current brightness level, say it returns 6
gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local --> opens the file to be edited
echo 6 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness --> sets the desired level of brightness
~~~~~ Solving backlight problem after suspend ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sudo gedit /etc/pm/sleep.d/00-displayfix
Type this in the file that opens:
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
thaw|resume)
echo 6 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
;;
*)
;;
esac
exit $?
Then in the terminal type:
sudo chmod a+x /etc/pm/sleep.d/00-displayfix
