Hello,
I have installed MX 16 on my laptop and am quite impressed with it. I usually set the Display Brightness to 50% as it is more convenient for me. What I found is after I restart MX 16, the brightness reverts back to 100% and I will have to reset it to 50% manually. The same thing gets repeated after restarting the OS. Please do something to correct it.

its a quirk in xfce. I use a utility called "xbacklight" to set the brightness level to where I want. in my case, 70%

Code: Select all

xbacklight -set 70

its available in the repos.

Great. I installed that and I can set the display brightness now. Problem solved. Thanks a lot.

Hi everyone. I already installed xbacklight from repo. But where should I wright "xbacklight -set 30" to get 30% after restart. Sorry, I'm beginer. It is my first linux.

Hi,
I installed MX 17 yesterday. Facing the same problem on it. I am not able to save the brightness level set in the last login. It gets set to maximum level every time I log in. I didn't find this problem on other distros like Ubuntu. Please suggest a solution for it.

I note you did not link to the actual page of the developer who made the program. Perhaps this should be done rather than providing a dropbox link to a .deb file.

Further, visiting the said site shows that it is an Ubuntu package, not Debian.

It might be safer for other users to seek help here and make a package request to the MX packaging team, before blindly installing .deb files.
