Pro1 X keyboard backlight
-
I've just received my Pro1 X and installed Ubuntu Touch on it.
The keyboard backlight is off and I can't find a way of turning it on.
Anyone knows how to do it? -

Partial answer to this at
https://community.fxtec.com/topic/3684-ubuntu-touch-physical-keyboard-backlight-pro1x/To set permissions:
sudo chmod 666 /sys/class/leds/:kbd_backlight/brightnessTo turn on backlight:
echo "1" > /sys/class/leds/:kbd_backlight/brightnessTo turn off backlight:
echo "0" > /sys/class/leds/:kbd_backlight/brightnessI wrote those into 2 one-line scripts called klon and kloff, for brevity.
If you don't turn it off manually, the backlight stays on even when you close the keyboard

An old post by Zahks on the fxtec community site gives a link to a code fix for the keyboard backlight issue."Keyboard Backlight
️ - I have resolved this one. Here is my python script and a installer so you can fix it yourself. It also auto-hides the on screen keyboard when it is pulled out. Just download, unzip and run InstallSliderDaemon.sh . Current script is as stable as it gets. Please download and let me know if you have any bugs."[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZGk1nefQkHmtPNo6g-K8ggg6ESfH8d9d/view?pli=1]

@ancientsounds A community member is also working on a properly integrated fix for UT possibly based on this work.

@arubislander Oh, didn't know it's for this. Nice
-
@arubislander Excellent news, not least because the script I linked to earlier doesn't work as is, and will need further work
