Just installed Elementary OS on my late 2011 Macbook Pro but the keyboard backlight is no longer on and I cannot find a way to turn it on. I have gone to keyboard settings and there is no option for illumination. Any help will be greatly appreciated! I am new to linux so sorry if the solution is obvious. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

What worked for me was to actually press the key (F6) and hold it down. I was surprised to see the lights come up.
