Martin Konopka, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=5428369&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4192 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.33). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.33 ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1312318 Title: brightness level not remembered on HP ZBook 15 Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Anytime I boot up the system, it always sets the display brightness to 100%. I can reduce the brighness using the Fn F9 key stroke. Similarly I can increase the brighntess using the Fn F10 combination. (This did not work until recently - see my bug report 1257766). However, even now the chosen value is not remembered. After each start of the system I have to set a convenient brightness level.
