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:
