Bug#722515: gnome-shell: Brightness FN keys not working any more

[Carlo Marchiori]

Freezing with /bin/systemd too.

All usual logs (debug, kern, messages, syslog, in my ignorance I can hardly
tell them apart...)
bear no trace of the failed boot. systemd-journalctl reports an empy log,
and, under /var/logs,
there is no trace of systemd logs.

To be precise, I just put this line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="init=/bin/systemd acpi_backlight=vendor"
in /etc/default/grub and issued update-grub.

I don't know how to take a screenshot during boot.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Carlo.
