Public bug reported:
The icon indicating updates are available appears in the system tray. I
click on it, and then, on the pop up, I click on the button to see
updates.
Discover launches.
I look at the updates, and decide to run them later. Instead of clicking
the "Update" button, I close
The tricky thing is that it is not a system crash, the computer keeps
running fine. Just the screen goes blank and it is pretty much
impossible to do anything after that. I hope that there is some kind of

No luck with the daily live-cd, some of the kernel messages fly by and

Done, please note that in the bug report i am using the crimson (fglrx)
driver and kubuntu 15.10, because this is the only way that i can use my
computer. If i try to upgrade to 16.04 and AMDGPU, my computer is
unusable because of the bug. But maybe my hardware information helps.
