brightnessctl

Backlight and LED brightness control

This program allows you read and control device brightness. Devices include backlight and LEDs. It can also preserve current brightness before applying the operation, such as on lid close.

The appropriate permissions must be set on the backlight or LED control interface in sysfs, which can be accomplished with the included udev rules.

Installation

Install the latest version of brightnessctl as follows:

guix install brightnessctl

Or install a particular version:

guix install brightnessctl@0.5.1

You can also install packages in augmented, pure or containerized environments for development or simply to try them out without polluting your user profile. See the guix shell documentation for more information.
