2016-12-21 04:11:20 penalvch description Same bug as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1329510 Was asked to use the "ubuntu-bug linux" to post this along with the laptop info. Fn + F5 or F6 is supposed to lower or raise the brightness respectively. By default, nothing happens when pushing the buttons. Editing the grub config to add "acpi_osi=" to the kernel command line seems to make the buttons get recognized, and the brightness popup displays, but the actual brightness doesn't change. Changing the brightness by piping a number into "/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness" works fine, and the brightness slider that shows up in the drop-down from the Gnome status bar thing works fine, but the actual hardware buttons don't do anything even when they get recognized.
