Public bug reported: Cause: After the last `apt-get update` and system `reboot` the screen backlight is turned off. Expected: The screen is expected to have the backlight turned on or at least to be able to set it on.
Comment: The last update has updated the linux kernel and kernel headers package. After booting up with the new kerlnel the screen backlight has turned off after a second (right after the system boot). I have not found any way to torn it on, no mether if I increase or decrease the backlight setting and no mether if the system is working on batery or with the power cord attached.
