MichaelDel, as per http://www.medion.com/gb/service/start/_product.php?msn=30010561&gid= an update is available for your BIOS (10M). If you update to this, does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-10m kernel-bug-exists-upstream-v3.10-rc3 needs-upstream-testing ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1184775 Title: Unable to change screen's brightness Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi I have just installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my Medion Akoya P6613 It has an Intel i3 390m and a NVIDIA geforce GT 540m When I change the brightness with the FN keys the brightness window pops up and also changes but the actual brightness of the display does not change. How can I fix this problem? What I have already done is checking for updates and following the instructions in this post: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/211457 but it didn't help could it be possible that it is a problem with the graphics card and if so, how can i possibly fix it? Michael after some help by community members i installed bumblebee and also changed the settings, but it did not help. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.25.
