[SOLVED]How to change brightness in Linux Mint 19?

Post by Sorrou_ »

I can't find a Brightness scale in settings.

Tried a couple of commands from internet but no luck.

Could you advise, please.

Any help would be appreciated.

You can go to your Synaptic Package Manager and search for brightnessctl and install it - brightnessctl is a small utility to control the brightness
of a screen's backlight. or you can get Brightness Controller by adding this PPA through your terminal

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

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install brightness-controller

Personally I use Brightness Controller from the PPA - works very well and it puts an Icon usually under all programs
