Public bug reported:
Since RC6 power saving was enabled by default, disconnecting the power
cable causes flickering in the screen. The problem is solved by
disabling RC6 power saving in the kernel parameters. This is done by
adding "i915.i915_enable_rc6=0" to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
variable in /etc/default/grub and by running
sudo update-grub
