Again, I test the 4.16 kernel with the parameter "nomodese". As Kaihengfeng guessed the system boot but the problem still there; /sys/class/backlight folder was empty. My second test was boot again with 4.16 without "nomodeset" parameter in the grub file and the results were others. As I expected the system was frozen and in this last test the brightness keys didn't work. It smells like a problem betwen my firmware and the kernel. I can do more test to find the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758496 Title: Backlight does not work on a MacBookAir3,2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1758496/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Today I reinstalled my laptop with a Ubuntu 17.10 and the system show the same problem. When the first boot finised I looked for the files on the /sys/class/backlight folder but this folder was empty. I changed /etc/default/grub with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset acpi_backlight=vendor" as Kaihengfeng said. I ran update-grub and reboot, with the same result; /sys/class/backlight folder is empty. The brightness keys don't work. What can I do?

Because, the system boot up but it stops and freezes due to problem with (nouveau) graphics. When the system is frozen it still allows me to test the brightness keys.

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 v4.16 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.
