Details
I have just installed arch linux in my Samsung laptop
(np900x3j).
I can not enable the backlight of my keyboard. I have tried the instructions of this link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Keyboard_backlight but I am getting the following error with the kb-light.py script: <code> Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/kb-light.py", line 26, in <module> print(kb_light_set(int(sys.argv[2]))) File "/usr/local/bin/kb-light.py", line 11, in kb_light_set current = kbd_backlight.GetBrightness() File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 70, in __call__ return self._proxy_method(*args, **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 145, in __call__ **keywords) File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 651, in call_blocking message, timeout) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface “org.freedesktop.UPower.KbdBacklight” on object at path /org/freedesktop/UPower/KbdBacklight </code> I have also found this bug whitch is closed as solved: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=240392 However I have followed all the instruction in all comments and they did not work for me. |

Using a HP-envy 15 laptop.
Only the f5 button has its backlight on. f5 worked as a keyboard backlight toggler on windows.
