Hello Ubuntu and Linux Mint enthusiasts.
Because the brightness controls don’t work by default, I will show you how to install a Brightness Indicator for Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail, Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal, Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, Linux Mint 15 Olivia, Linux Mint 14 Nadia and Linux Mint 13 Maya.

This is what you have to do for installing the Brightness Indicator:
Add the repo:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:indicator-brightness/ppa
Update the repo index:
$ sudo apt-get update
Install indicator-brightness:
$ sudo apt-get install indicator-brightness

Awesome, thanks. I had issues with my screen being very dim and virtually unreadable. after installing this applet I was able to adjust the screen brightness to a readable level. Thank you again.
Hi.
I have also downloaded this application.
Same problem as Akshay above: “No backlights found in your system”.
Any idea?
