Public bug reported:
After a clean install of Ubuntu Mate 18.04.1 LTS 64bit on my laptop HP
Elitebook 2540p Intel Core i7 CPU 640 @ 2.13GHz x 4 the screen goes blank
before the login screen appears.
Kernel Linux 4.15.0-36-generic x86_64.
It was fine using Ubuntu Mate 16.x.
I have found by booting to save mode and select boot from HDD everything works
except the font is a bit large and some screens go off the bottom of the screen
and I can't view this part of the screen.
When checking software & updates there are no additional drivers loaded.
The monitor preferences show monitor is known, resolution is 1280 x 800,
refresh rates is 0 hz. None of this info can be changed.
I have run the software update 3-4 times hoping that it would right itself.
