Ubuntu Linux 10.10 Brightness Fix

Ubuntu 10.10 came out today, and the brightness controls on my NC10 stopped working again...

The fix - enable the voria repository and install samsung-backlight

How? Pop a terminal (menu > accessories > terminal) and do:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:voria/ppa

followed by:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

and then:

sudo apt-get install samsung-backlight

Reboot your machine, and voilĂ  - working brightness!
