Brightness Control Does Nothing

Hello

The brightness slider (bottom right of my screen, on the task bar, near the date) has never worked. I can slide it up and down and nothing happens. It's been like this for about a year and I'm only just getting around to posting it here. It's of course not a massive issue, but it is annoying.

Can anyone suggest anything please? I saw another post that suggested a clean install, but if that's the only thing I can try, I will have to write it off as something just have to live with.

Thanks!

You might try installing the Soft brightness gnome extension
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1625/soft-brightness/

and see if it works for you.

Ffsss...I'm such an idiot for not asking about this sooner :laughing:

That fixed it.

Thanks very much indeed!
