Ubuntu Freezes when I adjust the screen brightness

Asked by rat

I have always faced this problem.

I am using a DELL Inspiron N 5010 laptop.
When I try to change the brightness of the screen, the computer freezes. Nothing works then. I can't move mu cursor or bring up dash. I have to force shutdown the system. I have Ubuntu 13.10 now. Previously I had Ubuntu studio 13.03 and I had same issue. Prior to that I faced the same issue with Fedora beefy miracle too. But It worked fine with BOSS 4.0 and Ubuntu 10.10.

I have dual boot and it was always fine with Windows.

Please help me.

What do you mean by different environments? How to try them?

If this is what you mean:

In ubuntu studio 13.03, there were options on login screen to choose between ubuntu studio and XFCE environment.
I have tried both of them, the issue occurs in both.
