Haug Bürger, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/Laptops-and- netbooks/ThinkPad-T-Series-laptops/ThinkPad- T450s?linkTrack=GPS%253ABody_Search%2BProducts&tabName=&beta=false an update to your computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is available (1.24). When you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate how does this improve the situation?
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. Also, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible: 1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect): sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date 2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not. 3) Please mark this report Status New. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your help. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.24 ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Low ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1587749 Title: random 1-2s black screen Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have a Lenovo T450s with docking station and 2 display port monitors on it. I experience black screens for about a second. Usually one of the external monitors only. One external display turns black and comes back after 1 or 2 seconds. This happens >10 times a day and is really annoying. My colleague experiencing the same issue, also using Ubuntu 16.04. Same hardware. At home I have a similar issue, also with Intel motherboard graphics. Different hardware.
