[19:47] <aloiece> can't adjust display brightness. anyone here with advice? macbookpro 6.2 ubuntu studi 15.04
[19:53] <zequence> aloiece: Try system settings. And, see if you have to use a function button. May be the other way around on Linux.
[19:55] <aloiece> hmm what exactly shoud i try in system settings?
[19:56] <zequence> I don't have a XFCE in front of me now, but there should be something in power settings, or somwhere
[19:56] <zequence> A slider for screen brightness
[19:57] <aloiece> right, i know that one but it doesn't change anything
[19:58] <zequence> Then, your hardware may not be supported
[19:58] <zequence> It's not really a Ubuntu Studio specific thing. The kernel is the same as -generic, only it has a couple of other configs
[19:59] <zequence> It should be the same on any Ubuntu flavor
[19:59] <aloiece> i see
[19:59] <aloiece> so ubuntu main channel or what would you suggest?
[19:59] <Unit193> pommed or gpomme?
[20:00] <aloiece> neither because it doesn't change anything
[20:00] <aloiece> either
[20:04] <zequence> aloiece: You could try adding nonfree firmware. But, that is just a blind guess
[20:05] <zequence> Sometimes needed for stuff like touchpads or wifi drivers
[20:05] <aloiece> yea' doesn't work so well anymore since 13.04. some workarounds needed and also. keyboard backlights don't work when using nvidia drivers for graphics
[20:06] <aloiece> seems the lcd brightness control is wired to nvidia and the keyboard backlights to intel
[20:06] <aloiece> but that's just a blind guess
[20:06] <zequence> ah
