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.
