I have bought a new laptop and downloaded the latest LTS version of Ubuntu. When I tried to install the dual boot for the first time, it failed, then after adding "nomodeset" to the grub menu I managed to install the same. But after installation there is no gui brightness control as well as the brightness button is not working. I tried a lot of methods to fix this, but none worked. Bellow is my system info:

(The workaround is also recorded on Ask Ubuntu at https://askubuntu.com/questions/1030526 /brightness-on-laptop-msi-gt72vr-in-ubuntu-18-04-with-nvidia-gtx-1060 -mobile-does/1043598#1043598.) The problem is new for me after upgrade to Bionic, although the cause might be the corresponding update to the NVIDIA drivers. I will add attachments following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight, though most of them seem to be uninteresting. If I can provide further information, please let me know.
