ETA: I installed third part software from the beginning.


I've updated the Intel drivers:



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt install mesa-utils

After restarting the computer:


glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version" glxgears

The information shown by Terminal seems to be OK, but still the brightness control doesn't work.




Hope everyone is doing fine. I've recently upgraded my laptop, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I've installed Unity Desktop and have realized that the brightness control (System settings - Brightness & Lock) is not working. When I try to change the brightness using the bar, nothing changes.


Does anyone know how to solve it?

A friend of mine found the solution.


Edit grub:


sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Find this line:


GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

Change it for this:


GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor"

Save and close.


Update GRUB:


sudo update-grub

Restart the computer.
