Sir/Madam,In an answer to my earlier question you wrote :1. In Grub press "e" and go to the line starting with "linux" . At the end of "queit splash" append"acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor " . Press ctlr+X and start the machine. Now check for the brightnesskey .2. Open terminal and install package xbacklightsudo apt-get install xbacklightOnce it is installed , run "xbacklight -set 50" . If this reduces the brightness of the monitor, then we can mapit with the function key accordingly.Also send the output of "lspci -vv" and "lshw -html"----------- I have given the grub content below-----let me know precisely what should I do ---please help--Thanks# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:# info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'GRUB_DEFAULT=0GRUB_TIMEOUT=5GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo BOSS`GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash gfxpayload=1024x768x16 quiet"GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs# This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains# the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...)#GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)#GRUB_TERMINAL=console# The resolution used on graphical terminal# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entriesGRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"

Hello ,My Name is Narayan Ghorpade kindly help me to install yum
Sir/Madam,I am pleased to see a tutorial and forum on BOSS. At least some one is there who knows that there is an OS BOSS. I have joined linux users group in India. They always discuss all other distros except BOSS.There is a BOSS forum on internet which is locked perhaps due to lack of activity. I am not from IIT. I heard that in IIT they all use linux. But perhaps they do not use BOSS. If I ask some linux user in Mumbai to use BOSS he/she says how ubuntu/mint etc is superior. Unless there are lot of users who will test BOSS how our country can improve BOSS ? I do not know if there are any users of BOSS in Mumbai. I think an installation tutorial is also required. Somehow I installed BOSS5.0 on Assus X553M laptop. It works fine except that the brightness key does not work. I tried a lot to resolve using internet debian forums but I could not find any solution. I talked to ASSUS technical person, who says you will get all the drivers for Win 8 but not sure for debian.Now I have one question, could you please give me a complete list of laptops and desktops of all brands available in mumbai where BOSS can be installed perfectly without any driver problems ? So at least I can suggest that laptop for BOSS users or use one for myself. Forum will get questions if there are users. I am really worried about the promotion of BOSS since it has been there since 2006-07.I will try the latest version Anoop with the hope that my brightness problem will be solved. The site www.bosslinux.in is down at present.-- Milind
