Does your hardware (BIOS + video card) allow controlling brightness by
software? Try the brightness applet, does it work?
On my laptop this is not possible at all. The laptop remembers itself the
brightness levels, either with or without battery, so in practice, it's
likely that every time
The risk of incompatibility is very real. The problematic areas are mostly 3D
graphics and wifi networking because hardware vendors don't provide drivers
or even specifications.
What models where you thinking about? You could also consider second hand
machines. Or making a LiveCD or

I didn't want to thread jack and this is more general than original thread.
If I remember my training correctly, EU Law forces vendors to publish
their specifications. Sadly I
It indeed looks like a bug on Trisquel's part: or abrowser is missing in
the dependency.
Could you contact quidam (Trisquel's leader) and tell him that? You can try
this contact form. However, the experience has shown it is more efficient to
catch him on the #trisquel IRC channel.
Indeed, those are the issues you may face. For the video card, it is pretty
simple to have it fully working: go Intel integrated chipset (except
Poulsbo). Notice that this choice is, moreover, in line with the investment
you want to make because nVidia and AMD video cards usually are much
Yeah, thanks for the reply. I think I'll wait a few days in case somebody has
some more insight and then go ahead and file a bug. Just to make the bug
report as concise and to-the-point as possible.

Maybe it indeed does have to do with version as the Debian policy manual [1]

Does your hardware (BIOS + video card) allow controlling brightness by

I'm able to control the brightness. But that is not something that I want
to achieve. I want to disable the screen dimming (brightness reducing)

Virtualization won't give you any compatibility results as the hardware is
virtualized and the (proprietary in case of MacOS) drivers of the host system
are likely used.
If you mean the ATI/AMD HD 3000 you will not get 3D acceleration and will
likely see some graphical glitches.
Try
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-dim-battery
false
and if it works you'll want to test whether that survives a restart.
I would not do that. I have just clicked on the 13.3'' notebook. It appears
to be proposed by default with Trisquel 4.5, which is not supported anymore
(what means uncorrected bugs and security risks). This does not matter much
if you are able to install the latest Trisquel. What matters
Try
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.**plugins.power idle-dim-battery

I tried this and got the following error

If you're using Trisquel 5.5 and wish to enable Gnome Panel, simply
install the gnome-panel-session package (this will also bring in
gnome-session as a dependency). Logout, and you should have an

Thanks for the replies. I encountered some errors along the way but managed
to resolve them.
Glad to hear that; hoping you use and enjoy Trisquel.

I have installed gnome-settings-daemon and tried again. Still showing the
same error.
Is there any other way to do this? Like editing a settings file ?
Thanks,

That chipset is not compatible with free software. It won't work with

However HP, Lenovo/IBM, Toshiba, and Dell have been implementing digital
restrictions that prevent the upgrade or replacement of cards. If you can't
You have to be careful not to buy an HP, Dell, Toshiba, or IBM/Lenovo though.
These manufacturers use digital restrictions to lock out non-approved

cards die).

Ah, I forgot you said you're on Slaine, sorry. You need to run gconf-editor
(from gconf-editor package) and search for for 'dim'. Then toggle the
relevant key's value from true to false.
A lot of companies selling Linux laptops also advertise free software
support and then ship hardware dependent on non-free software (and many
distributions do it too).
I'm weary of this company for a number of reasons. It would be one thing had
