I can not change the brighness on by HP Pavilion laptop
#5
Hi,
Thank you.
I've tried xbacklight in the terminal and I get the following line:
No outputs have backlight property

I also tried to edit the grub line 12 to vendor settings (I followed the instructions I found in this forum) I updated the grub, restarted the computer, and it doesn't work.

I was so frustrated that I thought to reinstall a different OS.
So I've tried Xubuntu and linuxlite and puppy from a USB. In puppy the f7 and f8 controls, work. I noticed that in Xubunto and Linux Lite, if I use the Fn F8 while the OS is loading, it works.
So I did the same and restarted my Linux lite OS system and pressed Fn F8 (to brighten the screen) while it loads . And it worked Smile

So now I have a very bright screen (much better than hardly seeing anything on the screen).

I still cannot change the brightness from within the OS. And I did search this forum.

I hope this will help others.
And still I would like to find a more comfortable solution for the screen brightness on my laptop.

Thank you.
