Supposedly this is answered, but I think it was because of the duplication.  

Here's the output of this command

$sudo dmidecode -t 1; lsb_release -a; uname -a


# dmidecode 2.12
SMBIOS 2.7 present.

Title:
  screen brightness slider has no effect

Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Trusty Tahr 14.04 LTS, seems to be fully updated

  f.lux also has no effect.

  Also when i try to do
   sudo echo 50 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
  then it says 'bash: brightness: permission denied'.

  I would love to help provide some more help on my dual monitor setup.
  I found this documentation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
  It says I should run $gnome-display-properties. Seems to be out of date. 
  gnome-display-properties: command not found

  I guess it would be annoying to say it's a security vulnerability
  although if my screen isn't dim someone could more easily look through
  the window and see what I am typing on the screen.
