Hi, I'm from Argentina, thank you very much for accepting me on the forum. I translate with google. I can not activate brightness keys in dell inspirion 5000. Search a lot on the web but I do not give with the solution. If anyone could help me I would be very grateful. Reinstall without being able to lower the brightness. Thank you very much to the community

Hi, welcome. Question; do the brightness keys not work when the laptop is plugged in or when you're on battery? or both?
Can you provide us with the output of:
# lspci | grep VGA
Your graphics card my be in need of some driver update/ firmware update.

Upgrading the kernel had been fixing a lot of hardware issues on newer computers as well.
I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?

Hello, thanks for the answer. They do not walk with the battery or with a plug.
Also after the winter does not turn on the screen.
ale@bunsenlabs:~$ lspci | grep VGA

It is likely that you need a newer kernel (and maybe newer graphics drivers) for your hardware.
To install a newer kernel, follow these instructions: How to install a newer kernel version in BunsenLabs
You will still have the option to boot the old kernel if it causes problems.
There are also workarounds to adjust brightness if the keys still don't work.

Erm, I'm not sure what you mean about the 'after the winter' part...
And my apologies, let's see the output of this:
lspci -knn | grep -iA4 vga
My main question would be what cpu are you running? It looks like you're running with an integrated intel graphics card... so if this is a newer architecture, you may need to install a newer set of drivers (if the kernel youre using will work with them) if not then yea you'll have to backport to a more recent kernel... Depends though what chipset/graphics chipset you're using.
What kernel version are you using?

"Winter" = "Hibernate", I'm guessing.

Alejandro8 any chance you can translate that output? Baxtor, you know I can't speak Spanish!

@Alejandro8
You can make output in English by starting a command with "LC_ALL=C"
$ LC_ALL=C <your command>
When you paste the output here, please use [ code ] tags

Thanks for all the answers. Deal with the new kernel and do not boot. I start with old grub.
I attach the previous command in English thanks I'm learning a lot

Utilice etiquetas de código cuando publique la salida del terminal. Hace que sea mucho más fácil de leer

^ Excellent! Google Translate works
Are you sure you installed the new kernel properly?
Let us see if you have hardware that is too recent for BunsenLabs, ie Skylake...
lspci -v | grep -i skylake
If you have Intel Skylake, then you need non-free firmware...
sudo apt-get install -t jessie-backports firmware-misc-nonfree
...and reboot to the newer kernel (which should be 4.9.0-2-amd64).

sudo update-grub ?

That hardware happens to be the same as I have, and it's the Skylake 520.
So the xorg driver, mesa, and firmware need to be also upgraded from jessie-backports to get it running correctly, per the "Broadwell and Beyond" guide here.

Try with the kernel but it is blinking and will not boot. I start with the old grub.
Jessie-backports firmware-misc-nonfree, had it installed duplicate list. I have a lot to learn
