The slider on top right for brightness does not work but volume and microphone sliders do work. As a temporary workaround, xrandr can set brightness and a shell script is about as convenient as using the slider. The script is below and should be used as ./brightness.sh 0.5 where 0.5 is the brightness you want to set it to. 1 is maximum and 0 is minimum.

#!/bin/bash

Sets brightness on scale of 0 to 1


xrandr --output DP-0 --brightness $1

Edit: DP-0 is the screen, it is usually the default but not always. If this script does not work for you, check your screen id.

    Looks like an answer to an unasked question. – David Sep 25 '21 at 10:08
  • Please write this as a question, then provide your answer as an answer to that question. This is perfectly fine on this site, and you may even accept your own answer. I would, however, recommend you to try the utility light that works on the hardware level (e.g. light -U 1 to decrease brightness and light +U 1 to increase), which can be bound to a shortcut key. light is in the repository of Ubuntu 21.04, else is available on github. – vanadium Sep 25 '21 at 10:41

    I’m voting to close this because it is not a question. Also, see https://askubuntu.com/q/222506/124466, which has similar scripts. – Archisman Panigrahi Sep 25 '21 at 19:44
