I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.4, and since I've installed it the Brightness controller doesn't work.

I press the Function Key + F2 or F3, and even when the animation pops up, and shows increasing or decreasing on the brightness level, doesn't change anything.

Brightness control

I've tried these approaches:

1- Installing x-backlight like described on these posts:

How to change LCD brightness from command line (or via script)? https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/9sdjqr/brightness_control_problems_in_ubuntu_1804_lts/

but none of x-backlight commands worked.

2- Creating a .conf file and modifying the /etc/default/grub file: Brightness problem Ubuntu 18.04 LTS But still the brightness controls in Settings don't work.

Temporal Fix

Using Brightness Controller http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2017/05/install-brightness-controller-utility-in-ubuntu-16-04-higher/

It works fine, even if it dims the screen, doesn't feel like when the default brightness controller works well.

Additional Information

Notebook Specification

These are the files in: /etc/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/

10-amdgpu.conf  10-radeon.conf    70-wacom.conf
10-quirks.conf  40-libinput.conf  80-backlight.conf

What can be the issue?

I created my own .desktop file because I've moved the folders where IntelliJ IDEA was installed. 

[Desktop entry]
Name=Intellij_IDEA
Exec=/home/jorch/Documents/1.IDEsAndPrograms/idea-IU/bin/idea.sh
Icon=/home/jorch/Documents/1.IDEsAndPrograms/idea-IU/bin/idea.png
Type=Application
Comment=Integrated Development Environment
NoDisplay=false
StartupNotify=true
Categories=GNOME;Development
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.22

Here is what's inside my intellij.desktop in /usr/share/applications.

I have even checked if there were some "old files" as suggested here.

I also tried, login out or running Alt+f2 and then unity to restart unity.

unity .desktop unity-dash intellij

I have a Server where Calculations are being executed, they take sometimes days to finish. I would like to send an e-mail when the job is finished, maybe through a script or even with the |.

  1. Before getting to the technical/command part I'd like to know what are the concepts managed to do this.

    • What do I need to achieve this? (Local MTA configurations for example? etc.)

  2. I've read many blogs, even here in AskUbuntu, but they were from 2012, or 2014, suggesting sendmail, mutt, postfix, at... and many answers said "that's deprecated", "is no longer used", etc. or at least that's what I've understood.

    • So, what could you recommend to archive this with a 2017-2018 solution?

Thanks.

I have deleted the folder with the files of IntelliJ to make a fresh reinstall, if go to the new folder and run:

sh idea.sh

It works!

But if I try to run it from the sidebar (I don't know the proper name of it, nor if it is part of Nautilus of Unity, if someone could tell me I would be glad):

Old path found

.. looks like there is still, somewhere a file, pointing to the old version.

enter image description here

How could I fix this?

I use Windows and Ubuntu in my computer, and when I use the Microphone in Windows I just need to plug in into the side panel and it works!

But when I use Ubuntu, I tried to do the same, but nothing happens... I've look for This is what I get when I run alsamixer and it shows mic volume... so I don't know if it recognize it or don't.

Do I need to download a driver or manually configurate it ? Because I haven't found a driver for this microphone while looking around on Internet.

Im using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Before I could change the brightness with the key combination:

"fn" + "f2" to decrease

and

"fn" + "f3" to increase

But now, it only changes the bar in the right upper corner... but it doesn't affect the brightness of the screen...

I've tried creating the "20-intel.conf" file in

/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d

but when I logged in again, there was no change...

I've already tried with the "Brightness controller" and it works... but I would like to know if there is a way to "reset to defaults" those keys "fn" + etc... before reconfigure it with xbindkeys.
