I still have the HP 840 G1, currently on 22.04. I’ll keep an eye on the

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all
reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago
and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.
Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) reached end-of-standard-support on May 31, 2023.
Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached
Update -- possibly resolved by upgrading to kubuntu 22.10.
I installed that and so far ... fingers crossed, no more black screens.

I have the same issue with a fresh install of kubuntu 22.04 LTS on an HP
820 G1. Random screen blackout -- machine can only be revived by a
reboot. The Windows operating system that was replaced by kubuntu worked
flawlessly (except that it was Windows, which is one hell of a flaw).

I'm having the same issue on Mint 19.3.
Just installed mint a couple days ago.
Laptop is docked with 1 external monitor attached. The laptop screen
goes black for a few seconds at a time. External monitor stays active,
and I can use the external monitor as usual during the blackout. The

Just had a look at my own settings: I have "Dim display when idle"

The black screen issue reappeared on 18.04 sometime last week, after two
completely trouble-free months, and it is quite frequent again. I
haven’t done and in-depth diagnosis or troubleshooting so far. The
flicker issue hasn’t appeared since I upgraded.

I noticed another issue recently: when the device displays woke up after

stretched vertically by a factor of 2, with the bottom half missing. I
took a screenshot, but that looked OK and didn’t reflect what I actually
saw.
