Public bug reported: With Kernel 6.8.0-40 (upgraded yesterday) a) the external screen connected to my Lenovo T14 ThinkPad randomly turns black for a few seconds and then recovers, b) the laptop cannot be used after the lid has been closed. The power LED is lit (no stand-by) but screen is blank. No reaction to any key, also cannot open a terminal with Ctrl-Alt-Fx. Only a hard reset is possible.
None of these problems occur with Kernel 6.5.0-45. I have previously attempted to use Ubuntu 24.04 LTS but faced exactly the same issues, therefore I re-installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS which was working stable until yesterdays kernel upgrade. While working with 24.04 LTS for a few weeks I also noted frequent, random and complete system freezes which made it unusable with that laptop. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS Release: 22.04 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 Package: linux-image-6.8.0-40-generic 6.8.0-40.40~22.04.3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.8.0-40.40~22.04.3-generic 6.8.12 Uname: Linux 6.8.0-40-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu82.6 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Tue Aug 20 10:27:32 2024 InstallationDate: Installed on 2024-08-05 (14 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 22.04.4 LTS "Jammy Jellyfish" - Release amd64 (20240216.1) SourcePackage: linux-signed-hwe-6.8 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: linux-signed-hwe-6.8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug jammy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-signed-hwe-6.8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2077405 Title: External screen flashing and cannot use after laptop lid closed Status in linux-signed-hwe-6.8 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: With Kernel 6.8.0-40 (upgraded yesterday) a) the external screen connected to my Lenovo T14 ThinkPad randomly turns black for a few seconds and then recovers, b) the laptop cannot be used after the lid has been closed.
