Operating Systems Linux Ubuntu Ubuntu on MacBook 4,1 (2008) Backlight Screen Issue Post 302953374 by Corona688 on Thursday 27th of August 2015 12:24:41 PM

Explore under /sys/class/backlight or /proc/acpi/video for an ACPI interface for your video card perhaps, sometimes there's a control for backlight power there which might have chosen a stupid value as its default.

Make sure you have the relevant modules modprobed to get those interfaces.

It might be useful to set up sshd, so you can login via something else until you can see your screen properly. An external monitor could also help.

NAME
pbuilder-dist-simple - simple multi-release pbuilder wrapper SYNOPSIS
pbuilder-<dist> operation [...] DESCRIPTION
pbuilder-dist-simple is a wrapper that makes it easy to use pbuilder with chroots for many different Ubuntu distributions. If you need more features than pbuilder-dist-simple provides, have a look at pbuilder-dist(1). USAGE
Create one symlink to pbuilder-dist-simple for each distribution for which you want a build environment, naming them like "pbuilder-lucid", "pbuilder-natty", etc. Replace operation with the action you want pbuilder-dist-simple to do (create, update, build, clean, login or execute). EXAMPLES
pbuilder-natty create Creates a pbuilder environment for Ubuntu Natty. pbuilder-lucid update Updates an existing Ubuntu Lucid environment. pbuilder-lucid build ./sample_1.0-0ubuntu1.dsc Builds the specified package on an already existing Ubuntu Lucid environment. FILES
By default, pbuilder-dist-simple will store all the files it generates in ~/pbuilder/. This can be changed by modifying the BASE_DIR value on the top of the script to any other directory you want. If the directory doesn't exit, it will be created at runtime. SEE ALSO
