My temporary workaround: 1) Create a script containing the command to increase brightness (echo 4 > /proc/acpi/ibm/cmos) and make it writable only by root. 2) Give permission to my everyday user account to execute the script via sudo without password authentication. 3) Create a hotkey that executes the script via sudo.
My brightness up key is Fn+Home, so I make the above hotkey Ctrl+Alt+Home. -- Max brightness is not max brightness https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203096 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
