That needs superuser privileges. Please try echo 4 | sudo tee /proc/acpi/video/IGD/DOS If that is too magical for you, you can also do $ sudo -i # echo 4 > /proc/acpi/video/IGD/DOS > and...@msiu:~$ sudo echo 4 > /proc/acpi/video/IGD/DOS This doesn't work. This only runs "echo" as root (which is unnecessary), the ">" (output redirection) is processed by the shell (bash) which doesn't run as root. -- brightness is broken on MSI WIND U100 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/415023 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
