Public bug reported:
I booted from a USB drive made from the Bionic Beta 1 Kubuntu Desktop AMD64
ISO. I have powered off before booting, and also restarted from Kubuntu 17.10.
Either way,
- the screen starts at normal brightness (about 50%).
- The "keyboard" screen appears, again at normal brightness.
- A couple of console messages appear, and screen brightness drops to the
minimum value.
- The Kubuntu "K" splash screen and the Welcome "Try Kubuntu"/"Install Kubuntu"
chooser appear, at minimum brightness.
- I choose "Try Kubuntu" and the live desktop appears, at minimum brightness.
- Strangely, the Kubuntu Desktop's "Battery and Brightness" says that the
screen is at 100% brightness. As soon as I move the brightness slider, the
screen brightens up to match it.
The laptop is an HP EliteBook 8440p, with Intel graphics.
