Help! No brightness slider in the settings (ubuntu 16.04 desktop with nvidia GTX960)

Question

I've just installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my system, cpu:amd fx 6300. There is no setting to change the screen brightness. Earlier I was using deepin os 15.2 and the brightness slider worked perfectly.

I have tried following solutions:

• Installed xbacklight
• Installed brightness indicator - on clicking the icon in the panel,it says No backlights were found on your system
• Try to edit xorg.conf file but i don't have this files
• sudo apt-get install xdotool and creating a keyboard shortcut

but still not working.

Solution

Finally this worked for me:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apandada1/brightness-controller
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install brightness-controller

Still I wish I could get a normal slider in the settings menu...

I don't think this should be the accepted answer as it does not solve the OP's question.
