Where are the brightness controls?












2















I installed Ubuntu 18.04 recently. I have been using Ubuntu for over 5 years I know that the brightness controls are inside the Power section in the settings but they are not there anymore. Searching for brightness still brings Power section in settings as the only result in gnome-shell but I can't seem to find it.



Can someone please tell me how I control my brightness in Ubuntu 18.04



Here is a screenshot of power tab in settings
Power Settings no brightness control

    Ahhh, It says this at the beginning...."Depending on your hardware, you can change the brightness of your screen to save power or to make the screen more readable in bright light."

    Aha, so it all depends on the hardware!

    But it does not make sense, I was able to see the brightness controls in 17.10, I don't think that my 1 year old laptop is suddenly deprecated

I took a moment searching the problem in the internet, one of the proposed solutions :



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apandada1/brightness-controller
sudo apt update
sudo apt install brightness-controller


Normally, after this, you will have the brightness controller. You can find it under Settings>Power menu or search it in Dash.
