Aug 26, 2016 at 20:30 comment added Anwar i upvoted your question. 50 is a bit much in my opinion 30, even 20 looks good
Aug 26, 2016 at 16:22 comment added Mark Kirby Glad that is working for you, if you need clarification on anything to do with setting brightness, please open a question, if you include all needed info you should start to make some rep.

Aug 26, 2016 at 12:33 comment added user585179 Thank you Mark! Google Chrome, as suggested in your first post did indeed work to resolve both web video issues. My vid card is a Radeon 5670. I got as far as finding my brightness, actual and max values, and the documents that hold those values. I didn't want to sudo vim them without some assurance that the screen wouldn't disappear.

Aug 25, 2016 at 14:11 comment added TheWanderer Like @MarkKirby said, we aren't really oriented around discussion here (except on Meta). If the way StackExchange works isn't the way you think, there's always Ubuntu Forums. You're welcome on both; you just have to get used to how each functions.
Aug 25, 2016 at 14:06 comment added Mark Kirby @ReformedGoblin This is NOT a discussion forum, it is a Q&A site, you ask a question, you get an answer, Netflix:askubuntu.com/questions/1488/how-can-i-use-netflix-on-ubuntu Amazon: askubuntu.com/questions/286297/… Can't say about the brightness without some information on the hardware.

Aug 25, 2016 at 13:47 comment added user585179 I was just hoping to get into a community where I could trade tricks. I'm a lateral thinker, but with Linux, I have no knowledge to work with, so I'm just trying to get a jump start by tinkering with a couple things in my first install. I have a 6 year old machine that got bricked by a Windows 7 update. So I installed Ubuntu 16 and found that we can't get Netflix, Amazon Video, and the brightness can't be controlled. I'm reading that Silverlight has been a long battle, as if Flash, and the brightness thing has a few fixes that work for some, not others. Thanks for commenting

Aug 25, 2016 at 13:36 comment added Arronical It can seem frustrating in the short time before you gain any rep, but you can quite quickly get past it. I was also completely new to Linux when I first started using the site. You can ask a new question if you need a more detailed piece of information about an existing topic, if your question gets marked as a duplicate, you can edit the question to distinguish it from the linked dupe. A problem I had at the start was that I lacked the knowledge to know what terms to search under. This improves over time. Is there anything you particularly need help with?
