Lenovo Legion Y720 laptop Keyboard backlight
I just moved from Windows to Ubuntu, but I cannot get the keyboard backlight to work at all. On Windows there was a specific program for controlling the backlight. I have searched for days now without luck. Anyone got a solution?
I am using Ubuntu 18.04

There is a simple way for solving that, but it works only if you're dual booting.
First, boot into Windows, set the backlight as you want, then restart the computer the backlight will still be on. I've searched a lot and this seems the only way of doing it I've found that works for me.

Hi Ahmed, since the person asking the question doesn't have dual boot, this isn't really an answer to their question.
