Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.4 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Anatoly, could you please test the latest mainline kernel (4.5-rc3) and advise to the results?

Christopher, I tried the kernel (4.5-rc3). The result - the backlight is not adjustable. I think the problem is not in the kernel.
I use Ubuntu Gnome, but more than a month ago, I installed the MATE environment, right at the gnome, then Gnome and MATE mixed up, but surrounded by MATE the lighting was regulated, with kernels 4.2. I think it is Gnome. Only I didn't realize to whom to report it. I would be grateful if prompt.

sudo nautilus /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight
then edit the file "brightness"
Of the ways described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging/Backlight it only works: echo 8 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness

Christopher, on Ubuntu 16.04, the problem with the backlight decided easy for this recipe:
create a file named 20-intel.conf
sudo touch /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
opened it for editing
sudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
insert lines
Section "Device"
Identifier "card0"
Driver "intel"
Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
saved and rebooted
brightness adjustment earned.
In unity with Ubuntu 14.04, 15.10, 16.04 it works, but on Ubuntu GNOME not.
The report failed to do. There was the program to install:
sudo apt-get install -y fwts acpidump dmidecode iasl

Enabling dual graphics/nvidia optimus in bios fixed the problem for me.
When dual graphics is disabled the driver load produces the following path.
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/

but with dual graphics enabled , the following path is created.
 /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight

Finally I am pretty sure unity/xbacklight are using xrandr to change the brightness so that ends
up using the graphics card driver to change the brightness.

Where gnome is using the kernel path for an acpi call.

I don't if it kernel bug or bios or video card bug for not handling the acpi call correctly.

Might be better if gnome used xrandr instead or be able to switch.
