You can install xbacklight with sudo apt-get install xbacklight, and then try xbacklight -set 10.
If that does not work, then open up the folder /sys/class/backlight/ and see if there are any entries. If not, then you probably don't have your video drivers installed.
Edit: OK, the following seems to have worked for OP: Brightness setting not working on Xubuntu 15.04 ( vivid vervet)

@RichmondSelikemChris-Koka: Could you please see if <pre>tee /sys/class/backlight/intel/brightness <<< 5</pre> or <pre>tee /sys/class/backlight/acpi/brightness <<< 5</pre> works?– mkdrive2Feb 13, 2016 at 17:20
