Unable to Adjust Brightness
Cyba.Cowboy Aug 31
My System Info

Linux Distribution: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS (based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS)
Desktop Environment: GNOME 42.9 under X11
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 for laptops
GPU Driver Version: 555.58.02

Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

If this is not Steam, you can still give us a system readout using inxi with "inxi -SbCGxx" in terminal (please put that into Pastebin/Gist as linked above!):

You can note your issue below here

Unable to adjust display brightness with keyboard or system settings.


Note any particular steps to reproduce it below here

I tried to installed the "brightness controller" package, as suggested online... But this made no difference, even after a restart.

I can see that there are some GRUB-based solutions that might work, but if I'm brutally honest, nano and GRUB are not my strongpoints, as I find them difficult and confusing to use, and I don't want to be messing with nano / GRUB if I don't have a clear understanding of how to reverse any changes I make (assuming a potential solution doesn't work)... I'm pretty comfortable with Terminal, though.

My laptop screen is awfully dim in my bright office, so any help would be appreciated.

Arch wiki suggests all functions should work out of the box for the F15, but you may need to blacklist some kernel modules or add kernel parameters. Check the info for the A15 as an example.
