Portege Z830: cannot change the brightness of the display using FN buttons in XUbuntu

Hello world

It is not possible to control the brightness of the Fn key on my Portege Z830 - Xubuntu 11.10 new

The brightness is at maximum and too high.

Do you know how to control?

Thanks for your time,

James

Hello

As far as I know this kind of thing is controlled by software. Problem is that Toshiba doesn't support Linux and doesn't offer any software that controls it.
What you can do is to visit some Linux forum and share your experiences here.

Maybe some of the Linux experts here have an idea how to do it.

  • Portege R600 - cannot update the BIOS using Win server 2008

    Hi all.

    Pls help...

    I tried to update my bios to the new version, but I can't.

    I just downloaded bios update of the toshiba site for portage r600 for my model number (bios update 1.80 - winner), I unzip the zip, run the exe, but error popup came:

    Package for the TOSHIBA BIOS ver.3.2.9
    Unsupported product type is installed.
    Package BIOS BIOS Version: Ver.1.80
    Current BIOS version: Ver.1.40

    So my question is what am I doing wrong? I'm trying to update my bios from windows.

    is my version of windows: windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition x 64 SP1 (don't ask why, I just have to run Server 2008)

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Your OS windows seems not to be the Windows which was preinstalled on your Portege
    You cannot update the BIOS by using the windows server 2008 Enterprise Edition x 64

    You will need to put the system which has been pre-installed by Toshiba

    Good bye

  • Cannot change the password using the question of security in l/min.

    We have an identity server. We have a lost password management application. There is a webpass and a webgate configured for the application of the LPM. The mode of communication is simple. The forgotten password feature does not work for the application of the LPM.

    Steps to re-create the issue
    --------------------------------------
    -In the form of connection, the user clicks on "I forgot my password"link
    -User enter 'User ID' and then click on submit
    -It redirects the user to a page of challenge question, the answer to the question the user and click on submit
    -The next page confirms the user had correctly answered the secret question. And invite the user to enter the new password, retype the password, and then click Save
    -When, click Save shows "cannot change the password. The screen is refreshed. The new password is not saved.

    Identity & Webpass - 10.1.4.2 BP08 Server version

    Thank you.

    Hello

    For the LPM error "cannot change the password" check if you set a "minimum age" in the definition of the strategy of password.
    "If you set a minimum age of 2 days for example, the user will not be able to change his or her password before 2 days after the initial setting of the password and you will have 'identity/oblilx/logs/oblog.log' shows: ERROR 0 x 00000901 lost_pwd_mgmt.cpp:264 'cannot change password' loginName ^ xxxxx" in oblog.log

    --> In our POC password minimum age has been set, and we have forgotten that we have in him... This is why we hade this error on the LPM scenario...
    --> After setting the minimum age to 0, the scenario LPM works every time

    I have vista home premium and I can't change my wallpaper. I am logged on as administrator and can change most of the other settings, but a box tells be that the administrator has blocked the launching of the display settings control panel. I don't think that I have never done this, not intentionally at least.

  • T430: Cannot change the GPU using the NVIDIA Control Panel

    Hello world

    I recently bought a T430 including a NVIDIA NVS 5400 M. games graphics card (for example, Max Payne 3) used to run fast, using the NVIDIA GPU. Today, I tried to play a video game once more (after having not played for several weeks). Unfortunately, my OS (Win7, 64-bit) assigns the GPU from Intel, resulting in a much lower speed. Using the NVIDIA Control Panel, I can't change my favorite GPU (changes will not be saved). I already run a update of Lenovo and installed the latest graphics driver (296.88), which resulted in no improvement.

    When you start a game, I can choose my graphics manually, but I would like to configure some general settings using the control panel.

    Do you have any solutions?

    Thank you very much.


  • Download the file: continue to change the display settings

    Hi all

    These days, he continues to be for no reason.
    I put the display settings to my download folder. The list, by group type, sort by last modified.
    However, without one apparent for this folder, other than asking to display its content, the undisciplined directory view my files in a detailed list with the default sort.

    My path to the download folder have been changed from the original.
    As my Windows is not in English, the name of path is also different from the display name (don't think that will have an impact as the path name is different from the name in all versions of windows-English).

    The setting for the folder is 'General Elements' (in properties/customize).

    Does anyone have the same problem before? In my view, is not only in the download folder.
    Any idea to fix it? I tried using desktop.ini, because I used to do it a lot before, but nothing has changed in this file, when I tried to change the display using the browser configuration.
    As I don't remember the setting of desktop.ini, I looked in the documentation.
    Here: http://hwiegman.home.xs4all.nl/desktopini.html
    And here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc144102%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
    I changed the setting to 3 Vid == Mod.
    As the problem appeared at random times, I do not know if my problem is solved :/

    I have of course a question of law in the desktop.ini file.
    If anyone has any idea... =)

    I had a similar problem.

    Certain way when you change the name of the folder.  He lost the file that held the parameters.

    I found that the easiest way is to rename the damaged library, I recommend

    "Temp of library".  Then create a new library with the name of the library, in your case downloads.

    or whatever you want to call it.

    Then in the pane left right click the new library.

    And then in the left pane right-click the library damaged, then copy the 'Library locations' by using the 'include a folder"in your new downloads folder.

    Close windows Explorer.  Reopen and verify that your settings are as you wish.

    You can delete the corrupted library.

    I'm back with my problem...
    Really nothing works for me so I dicided to go back to xp.
    Now there is new version of win 7 7600 and I tried - still no change...
    I tried all the drivers + eysy = no result.

    "I think that person just to use this option so no one have the same problem))
    -everyone I asked - just say ' I didn't I'm able to change the brightness it y.

    I tried:
    181.71_geforce_win7_32bit_international_beta

    186.18_desktop_win7_winvista_32bit_english_whql
    190.38_desktop_win7_winvista_32bit_english_beta

    I noticed - if a game (almost all the real big games) have its own brightness settings it just ignore nvidia control panel/color calibration in this issue, but if it's a little game without this option, it works fine...

  • Good for laptop - cannot change the ISP; keep returning to a previous provider

    Windows 7 laptop of my grandson, I'm migrating FIREFOX (excellent resource!) of my aging XP desktop. An existing Mozilla installation on the guarded device tries to connect to an ISP in Sydney (1000km) which kept out, I guess because the signal is too weak. Too far - on the Internet?

    Reinstalled my new ISP contact, reinstalled a fresh copy of Firefox, copied the old profile XP (just underneath the random string file name), but cannot change the fault. Firefox at startup tries to raise the old ISP (Sydney) and expires, and then allowing me to establish a manual connect with the ISP (my current) new.
    Perhaps a clue: in my Firefox troubleshooting info, change preferences, the browser start page is the address of 'old', with 'override mstone' ignore, what look like prints of registry entries, but I can't change all that - and maybe it's wise! An annoying secondary question: on arrival, the laptop listed no administrator user. So I am me came as an administrator, but I wonder if a past or current even Admin hidden could register (or other) entered resistant to change.

    Late discovery: the laptop is apparently infected with browser pirate btsearch.name. Search Google throws a series of removal procedures, and I'm now working through them.
    What Miss me?

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

  • Cannot change the Google search bar

    In Safari, I go to Google.com and do a google search. So far so good.

    Now, on the search results page, I try to edit the search in the Google search bar and nothing happens - the Google search bar is totally insensitive. To do another search, I use the address bar in Safari or reload google.com.

    I have deleted history, deleted all the data of the Web site, disconnected plugins and extensions, deleted the cache via the menu Developer. I used 3 CleanMyMac to clear and reset everything.  I can't solve the problem.

    Safari 9.0.2 (11601.3.9)

    'CleanMyMac' is a scam and a frequent cause of instability and poor performance. Depending on which version you have, the developer's instructions may not completely uninstall. Please follow these instructions, then do as below.

    Please, back up all data before proceeding.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent.plist

    Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

    Services ▹ reveal in Finder (or just to reveal)

    the contextual menu.*, a file can open with a selected item. If so, move the selected item to the trash. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

    Repeat with this line:

    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent

    Restart the computer and empty the trash.

    You may also delete one or more of these elements in the same way:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.helperTool.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.volumeWatcher.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

    Never install "CleanMyMac" or something like that.

    * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

    Hi imoffshore,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    ·         When was the last time it worked?

    ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

    ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

    ·         You get the error message?

    When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

    1. You are not logged as administrator (or equivalent)
    2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
    3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

    The options available for automatic updates.

    You must make some changes in the windows registry.

    Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
