Great! I was googling for a solution for days and found this. It works perfectly on Ubuntu 13.04 beta/HP ProBook 4540s.

Thanks a lot.

Oh man, Thanks for the script
it worked like a charm in Ubuntu 12.10
I think there’s an easier way to add this script to start-up applications :
open the Startup Applications Preferences and then click Add then locate the script and finally click add . i’ve done it and it works

Hi Shashikant,

You can use the content in the Gnome2 branch in the repo.

Details:

Save the file https://github.com/ishanthilina/setBrightness/blob/gnome2/src/setBrightness.py .

Then add the following entry to the startup programs.

python / // /

Brightness on startUp for the HP Folio 13 with Ubuntu 12.04

-Install xdotool: sudo apt-get install xdotool
- create a “myfile.sh” with the content:

#!/bin/bash
myBrightness=2442;
currentBrightness=`cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/actual_brightness`;
count=$(( $currentBrightness – $myBrightness )) ;
while [ $count -gt 0 ]
do
xdotool key XF86MonBrightnessDown
let currentBrightness=`cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/actual_brightness`;
let count=$(( $currentBrightness – $myBrightness )) ;
done

- give it permisions: chmod 777 myfile.sh
- make it execute on the startup (startup applications>add)
- Note: use your own myBrightness value for custom brightness.

Hi,

First of all, I’m really sorry for keeping this comment under moderation for so long time. I totally forgot to approve the comment, only after I saw the comment by Maciek below I noticed that I haven’t approved this comment. Really sorry for that.

Anyways, can you point out what didn’t work out? Did you try manually running the script?

Also, if you take a look at the autoinstaller branch in the git repo you’ll find an easy to use version of the same script. It was there from a long time back, but I didn’t have the time to document about it.

Sorry for being so careless . Will document it asap .
