“Operation not permitted” while trying to create soft link. (Ubuntu 19.04, Can't control brightness...





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

I wanted to do this:



$ cd /sys/class

This directory should contain a soft link called brightness
to the brightness device discovered in the previous step. Should it be missing, create it:

$ sudo ln -s /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-eDP-1/intel_backlight/brightness /sys/class/brightness


But my output was:



ln: failed to create symbolic link '/sys/class/brightness': Operation not permitted


Meanwhile, I can't control the brightness through the "brightness" button in Ubuntu 19.04. It used to work, but dunno what happened. So I followed this post but I am stuck because of the above output. How do I resolve this issue?
