Public bug reported: Since kernel 6.8, the screen has been going black intermittently and unpredictably for several seconds. Sometimes it happens several times in a row over half a minute or so, and other times just once. It happens regularly.
dmesg shows this type of error every time: [ 7912.265657] usb 1-9: USB disconnect, device number 17 [ 7913.557402] usb 1-9: new full-speed USB device number 18 using xhci_hcd [ 7913.685271] usb 1-9: New USB device found, idVendor=1fd2, idProduct=8105, bcdDevice= 1.00 [ 7913.685275] usb 1-9: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 7913.685277] usb 1-9: Product: LGDisplay Incell Touch [ 7913.685278] usb 1-9: Manufacturer: Melfas [ 7913.690820] input: Melfas LGDisplay Incell Touch as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-9/1-9:1.0/0003:1FD2:8105.001F/input/input45 [ 7913.691112] hid-multitouch 0003:1FD2:8105.001F: input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.11 Device [Melfas LGDisplay Incell Touch] on usb-0000:00:14.0-9/input0 [ 7913.691960] hid-generic 0003:1FD2:8105.0020: hiddev1,hidraw3: USB HID v1.11 Device [Melfas LGDisplay Incell Touch] on usb-0000:00:14.0-9/input1 This is quite possibly connected to bug #2049248 because the workaround that has been pointed out to me works also for this bug. WORKAROUND: From what I understand, Canonical's kernel has had some drivers removed, causing this problem. I am now using the kernel as provided by Zabbly [1], which is Canonical's kernel but with the drivers left in.
