I have recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 and I like it, but I can't seem to get the backlight in the keyboard to work. I have searched hours for a solution, but I can't find the right command -- perhaps something that references kbd_brightness
.
Is there a way to test if this is a command/feature that can be used to manage/change the backlight setting?
I don't know what else to do, everything worked fine on win8.
If it is of any use, I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 on UEFI alongside win8.1. I can turn the keyboard backlight on in win8.1. Every solution that I have read so far has to do with the kbd_brightness
thing which appears only when I boot from the original usb from were Ubuntu was installed, but the option isn't there when I boot without it.
I have thought that maybe I could just copy that missing file from the usb boot and replace it, but I don't know where to put it or if it has any hope of working.
