ubuntu server crashes on startup while loading/saving backlight brightness
Right after installing Ubuntu server, it starts ok and I can use it. But after the first reboot it just freezes. The cursor even stops blinking
The last line is screen is
Starting Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of leds:dell::kbd_backlight...
Before that I see
Starting Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of backlight:acpi_video0...
[ OK ] Started Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of backlight:acpi_video0.
If I boot in recovery it still stops there but the cursor keeps blinking
I kind of had the same issue with centos but I cloud not see the terminal so I don't know if it was in this step.
This machine has run non server Linux distros before
(Lubuntu for example)
server 18.04 crash

I had the exact same problem on LXLE which is an Ubuntu flavor of the LTS desktop version 16.04.4 which I was trying to run on an Inspiron 1018 which has no keyboard backlighting.
Did you get this problem figured out? Did some research & found the answer at the Linux Lite forum.
Go directly into recovery mode only stopping long enough to hit the e & change the file system to rw from ro.
At the recovery menu select root & then enter to get to the prompt.
Being a novice I went to the /var/lib/systemd/backlight folder to look at the platform-dell-laptop:leds:dell::kbd_backlight file when actually I think all I would have had to do was systemctl mask systemd-backlight@leds:dell::kbd_backlight.service.
That fixed the problem & I hope this helps someone else.
