I'm a total newbie to Ubuntu and recently decided to give it a go on my early 2009 Alu MacBook.
For about a week now I've been trying to get the brightness controls to work. I've tried the following:
Brightness controls doesn't work on a MacBook Pro 5.5 (ubuntu 12.04 LTS)
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-5/Precise#LCD
None of it seems to work.
Next option was to try the Nvidia-bl-dkms drivers, but aftert installing the Mactel PPA I just get this:
Reading package lists...
DoneBuilding dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package nvidia-bl-dkms
Any help would be much appreciated as my eyes are going to fall out soon with the brightness maxed out.
