Boot hang dell kbd_backlight Ubuntu 18.10
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I am having a problem with my Dell Inspiron 5570. Boot hangs after "starting load/save RF kill switch" when the system tries to load the dell kbd_backlight service. The only way i can get the system to boot is repeated hard resets (holding the power button). Sometimes it will take up to 10 hard resets before Linux will make it past the hang point. I noticed that when it does boot there is a message that reads something like [FAILED] dell kbd_backlight.service. THe system will boot fine into recovery mode. I researched the problem on Google and found that this is an old bug that has yet to be addressed. I tried the work-around:
(Grub- advanced- recovery- root shell)
mount -o remount,rw /
rm /var/lib/systemd/backlight/platform-dell-laptop:leds:dell::kbd_backlight
systemctl mask systemd-backlight@leds:dell::kbd_backlight.service
reboot
But the problem persists... Any ideas on what i could try?
Thanks,
Derek
