Bug Description

As the title says, on this laptop the brightness controls are NOT saved after reboot.

What is saved instead, is only the keyboard brightness.

I have tested two distros, Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS and 19.04, happens on both systems. But there is a difference

On 19.04, "systemctl status systemd-backlight@:*intel_screen_backlight_*" shows:
"Saved brightness 20 too low, increasing to 75"

On 18.04.2 does not show anything rather than the service starting normally

The laptop is a Dell XPS 15 9550, the screen backlight driver is the intel one.

It sounds like the linked bug was fixed in nvidia drivers, and that there is nothing for systemd to do.
