  • Not 13.04-specific; I installed 13.04 on three different Lenovos including a T500 without this problem.

You can try to login and set the brightness via the brightness control.

Or you can try if it works with this terminal command

echo 1666 >> /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness

if this works you can add this command to the /etc/rc.local file which will run this command at startup process.

ps. you can change 1666 to whatever you want (more or less brightness)

  • your answer is true but we need to add sleep 5 (or more, or less) a line above the echo ...-line ,because /etc/rc.local is executed before the screen is fully initialized Jan 4, 2014 at 15:51
