I have the studio 1558, brightness control problem going on. I added the repository with: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kamalmostafa/linux-kamal-mjgbacklight/ppa
Then I did: sudo apt-get update It still wouldn't work, so I ran this: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade I guess I'll reboot, and see if it works. Aaron PS I noticed I could "manually" add the ppa with this: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kamalmostafa/linux-kamal-mjgbacklight/ubuntu maverick main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kamalmostafa/linux-kamal-mjgbacklight/ubuntu maverick main How is that different from what I've done? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568611 Title: Screen brightness control fails on Dell Studio 1558 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
