how to dim my screen ? linux mint 19.2 MATE
can anybody tell me how to adjust screen brightness ?
the linuxmint screen brightness in power management option is just not available in mine. i don't want to upgrade to the latest version as, i rather use older 1 version due to stability issue. thanx andrew Distro: Linux Mint 19.2 Tina Desktop: MATE 1.22.0 Kernel: 4.15.0-54-generic x86_64 base: Ubuntu 18.04 bionic Shell: bash v: 4.4.20 |
I tend to use the brightness controls on my monitors to do this, (+) and (-) buttons. Maybe this isn't what you mean though...
Play Bonny! :hattip: |
Let’s see if this is still possible from the command line!
Try the following: Code:
sudo su - So, cd to that subfolder (on my system it’s intel_backlight): Code:
cd intel_backlight I think the values are hardware-specific but on my machine 100% brightness is 800. Don't use too small values, öest the screen goes dark! |
