Can't change brightness in endeavour os

[yodara]

so i just reinstalled endeavourOS to change my WM into i3-wm

and i can’t change the brightness, i have faced this issue before in endeavourOS KDE but i remember i only have add acpi_backlight=video

so i tried to fix it
first, i installed brightnessctl and tried to use it’s command like brightnessctl s 3

It outputs :
Updated device ‘nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight’:
Device ‘nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight’ of class ‘backlight’:
Current brightness: 3 (1%)
Max brightness: 255

But nothing changed, my screen is still in max brightness

then i tried putting every one of these into /etc/default/grub
acpi_backlight=vendor
acpi_backlight=native
acpi_backlight=video
acpi_backlight=nvidia_wmi_ec

then i sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
reboot, tried changing the brightness again and nothing changed

my backlight folder name is nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight

can someone help me fix this issue? thankyou

A lot of folks have issues getting this going on i3 for some reason. It seems different things work for different folks; if you read through some of the other solutions in the forum you are bound to find something that works for you.

Here are some relevant threads I found with a quick search:

Issues with brightness control on i3wm ( in built keys shortcuts )

Try this: bindsym XF86MonBrightnessUp exec brightnessctl -c backlight set +5% bindsym XF86MonBrightnessDown exec brightnessctl -c backlight set 5%- Brightnessctl is in extra. Other options are light & xorg-xbacklight which off course have their own syntax. The problem with these keys is they are hardwired in the bios, so you might not get anything to work.

Brightness won't change

brightnessctl is a utility that can be used to control screen brightness in Linux, and it can be used with i3 window manager. To use brightnessctl with i3, you’ll first need to install the brightnessctl package from your Linux distribution’s package manager. Once you have brightnessctl installed, you can use it to set the screen brightness in i3 by binding it to a keyboard shortcut. For example, you can add the following lines to your i3 configuration file (~/.config/i3/config) to bind the XF86…

Some i3 notebook users?

For me the default didn’t work out of the box with Dell Precision. Now AFK, will elaborate later LATER: Apparently I have also switched to brightnessctl suggested by ishaanbhimwal, which works perfectly.

Keyboard inoperable after I messed with 10-amdgpu.conf

For brightness control, there is a lightweight tool called brightnessctl, which is available in the community repo. If you are using i3wm, you simply have to add two keybindings that call brightnessctl. For example: bindsym XF86MonBrightnessUp exec --no-startup-id brightnessctl -q set +5% bindsym XF86MonBrightnessDown exec --no-startup-id brightnessctl -q 5%- I wasn’t aware you have to mess around with X Server configuration files to enable backlight…

Brightness control keys not working on my i3WM install

Indeed, it did! Awesome, thank you so much! I needed to install brightnessctl and add those lines to ~/.config/i3/config. I chose 1% as I like to have a more fine grained tuning. PS- I’ll change the title of the topic and mark it solved. I will create other threads for my other questions/issues.

Xbacklight isn't working - i3 edition

I eventually found out an alternative to xbacklight that works for me. It’s called brightnessctl You use it like this: brightnessctl s 10%- to decrease the brightness brightnessctl s 10%+ to increase the brightness

It’s just a matter of doing some testing to figure out what works in your specific setup.

For me, adding this to the config works:

bindsym XF86MonBrightnessUp exec brightnessctl -c backlight set +5%
