Hi,
I have an intel mac and I am running ubuntu 14.04. I need to install nvidia-bl-dmks so that I can change the brightness. I added the mactel-support repo per the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-5/Lucid. However, when I run sudo apt-get update, I get
HTML Code:
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/mactel-support/ppa/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/mactel-support/ppa/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found
And when I run apt-get install nvidia-bl-dmks, I get the following error:
HTML Code:
E: Unable to locate package nvidia-bl-dkms
I have also tried obtaining nvidia-bl-dmks from here: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package...nvidia-bl-dkms
But when I try to install it through the software center, I also get errors, which are included in the text file.
Can someone tell me how best to resolve this?
UPDATE:
I realized that I had the trusty distribution selected instead of lucid. I am now able to get the package through apt-get but it still wont build. The terminal returns the following:

dpkg: error processing package nvidia-bl-dkms (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
So it looks like it's not finding a file. Can someone tell me where I can download an older version of nvidia-bl-dkms that installs properly?
