brightness of the screen

  • 772

Every time after I restart I have to enter this in the terminal to set the brightness:

xrandr -q | grep " connected"
xrandr --output LVDS --brightness 0.5

Could someone tell me if there is there any way to set up the brightness and remain like that even after a restart?

startup

  1. You can take that code, turn it into a script , and add that script to startup applications, so that on every login this runs automatically.

    Script would be like so:

    #!/bin/bash


xrandr --output LVDS --brightness 0.5

    Save it in a file, e.g. myscript.sh. , preferably in /usr/bin, but not necessarily. Give that script executable permissions with chmod +x scriptname.sh

    Then add full path to script in Startup Applications or make your own .desktop file in /home/yourusername/.config/autostart

  2. clone the script on my https://github.com/el-beth/backlight.sh.git and paste the backlight.sh script file in any of the directories in $PATH of your shell for instance /bin or /usr/bin and make backlight.sh executable. After doing this, just create a .desktop file in /home/USERNAME/.config/autostart.
