1. It appears you don't yet have the latest version of 'xserver-xorg- video-intel' that was released in 2016. If you have installed any PPAs then please remove them using 'ppa-purge' and then fully update the system:
sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade 2. Please also explain in more detail when the problem happens. 3. Your hardware is much newer than the Ubuntu release you are trying to use so please also try live booting a newer version and tell us if that avoids the problem: http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1813160 Title: display problem Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: display is going black for fraction of second.
