First a small warning: You seem to be using the 'oibaf' graphics PPA which is not supported and is known to cause bugs. However I think it's unlikely that's relevant here.
Second, other people are already reporting that having the Nvidia driver installed has broken their brightness control. See bug 1861532 and bug 1857764.
Please try uninstalling the Nvidia driver, and try uninstalling that PPA.
