[Bug 1820173] Re: Screen brightness buttons change gain instead of brightness
I use the Acer Aspire 3 netbook. Lubuntu's brightness adjustment works nicely, although it differs from Xubuntu. With Lubuntu, the screen has a slightly eerie glow to it. Also, tilt the screen away from one, and it goes dark. Tilt it towards one, and it goes bright. Xubuntu, on the other hand, is consistently bright. Lubuntu, however, has a fortuitous benefit. In the dark it has the effect of lighting the keyboard. That is not the case with Xubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1820173 Title: Screen brightness buttons change gain instead of brightness To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/1820173/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Indeed! It's more like a 'screen dimmer' than a true screen backlight changer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1820173 Title: Screen brightness buttons change gain instead of brightness To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/1820173/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1820173] Re: Screen brightness buttons change gain instead of brightness
I have a similar netbook called Dell Inspiron 11 3162 in which this is reproducible. Changing brightness with the FN (function) key combinations change the gamma of the screen instead of the actual brightness. It's a fake brightness change, like the one Redshift can do if you're familiar with it. If I go to the settings and open Brightness, I can move the slider there and change the brightness as expected. It's just the key combination that doesn't work as we expect. I have tested Lubuntu 19.04 and Fedora 30 LXQt in their default settings. In both this is reproducible. I don't have these systems installed right now. I might try Lubuntu 19.04 in the coming days and attach the requested log files here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1820173 Title: Screen brightness buttons change gain instead of brightness To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/1820173/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

One more: do you have the same results with 18.04 or 19.04? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1820173 Title: Screen brightness buttons change gain instead of brightness To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/1820173/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 1820173] Re: Screen brightness buttons change gain instead of brightness
I'd like to request some more info: 1. Could you record what this looks like? 2. The exact specs of your computer might help, too. 3. I'd urge you to use `xev` to figure out what keycode is being used. 4. Is there anything in the logs suggesting what is being done? /var/log/syslog would be the most obvious place. 5. What does your Openbox config look like? 6. What about the lxqt-globalkeys config? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1820173 Title: Screen brightness buttons change gain instead of brightness To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/1820173/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1820173] Re: Screen brightness buttons change gain instead of brightness
Gain meaning, the screen brightness is not affecting screen brightness but affecting the wrong setting. Gain means it will brighten some parts of the screen (make the mids brighter, but keep the darks dark). This causes overexposure, and the screen doesn't look nice anymore. When I open the panel, not the screen brightness but something like 'gamma' is affected by changing the settings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1820173 Title: Screen brightness buttons change gain instead of brightness To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/1820173/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1820173] Re: Screen brightness buttons change gain instead of brightness
Two questions: 1. What do you mean by "screen gain?" I know this as a static property projection screens have, so I'm not sure how it's relevant. 2. If you open terminal and run `xev -event keyboard` and press the key in the resulting window, what is the result?
