I confirm that 'xbacklight -set 60' works (as user, no root required), in both desktop sessions: ubuntu and plasma. However, the Fn key + arrow only works on plasma. Being on ubuntu session, inside the directory '/sys/class/backlight' there is nothing, yet xbacklight works. So it's almost sure a

If your backlight is wired through Nvidia then I think you may need to use the xbacklight interface. You can do it manually by installing: sudo apt install xbacklight and running xbacklight ... If that works for you then I think the problem is that mutter/gnome- shell isn't

I tried also: sudo su -c 'echo 10 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness'. Pressing the Fn keys brings up the OSD brightness control, which reflects the value of the /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness file (and viceversa), but the actual screen brightness does not change. -- You

@brinstar, yes I did the sudo update-grub part, and tried acpi_brightness=[native|vendor] which for me makes the Fn hot keys not working (when you press them, no brightness icon appears). Last update brought in NVidia drivers 384.90, but no joy, the problem is still present. -- You received

I've managed to use a workaround to make the hotkeys work. I added acpi_osi=Linux to the grub config file and did an update-grub and it works. But I think it would be better if this was looked into as it did work fine without the acpi addition on Ubuntu LTS. -- You received this bug
