    uvcvideo 67203 0
    videodev 86588 1 uvcvideo
    video 19068 1 i915
    ance@ance-EasyNote-TE11HC:~$ cat /proc/cmdline
    BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-37-generic-pae root=UUID=7339d58a-236e-49d4-8b88-bc73d443ab8b ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7

    Re: Changing brightness does not work in Ubuntu 11.10 after upgrading.

    Hello, I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 and I have the same problem. I migrated from mac and even though I don't have all the basic knowledge in order to 'self install' everything I need yet, I believe the best way to do it is trying.

    To the lio, this is the output I get:

    username@computersname-MacBook:~$ ls /sys/class/backlight
    apple_backlight
    username@computersname-MacBook:~$ lsmod | grep video
    uvcvideo 72249 0
    videobuf2_core 32212 1 uvcvideo
    videodev 100265 2 uvcvideo,videobuf2_core
    videobuf2_vmalloc 12757 1 uvcvideo
    videobuf2_memops 13213 1 videobuf2_vmalloc
    username@computersname-MacBook:~$ cat /proc/cmdline
    BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-27-generic root=UUID=5f59014a-f5f9-4946-986d-652003df4751 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7
    username@computersname-MacBook:~$ sudo nano ect/default/grub



    I tryied changing the grub and nothing and when I try 'sudo nano ect/default/grub' the file does not exist.

    I need some help with this please. Thank you

    chessmate, you're more likely to get help if you start a new thread.
