  1. Please specify distro / version.

  2. Did you mean the brightness slider in quick settings (menu from top right)?

Same issue with Opensuse Tumbleweed, Debian 13 and Ubuntu 25.04. On a Dell AIO with no dedicated keys to adjust screen brightness Gnome 48 is now unusable (screen far too bright for my eyes !)

Until the fix is merged and included by your distro you can use something like gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Power --object-path /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/Power --method org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Power.Screen Brightness '<90>' to change the brightness once. The slider will then be visible for the remainder of the session. It has to be an actual change though, so if the brightness is already at 90, use some other value.

The issue is still present in fedora 42. The slider appears in the quick-settings after a brightness change via keyboard shortcuts. There is no brightness slider in the gnome-control-center.

As mentioned in above post, the issue is yet to be fixed / merged.
