Public bug reported:
I've been using Ubuntu 20.04 for a long time now and have had no problems. Then
suddenly the screen started flickering. I tried PCLinuxOS but the screen just
goes black. I found, on Ubuntu, installing brightness-controller and putting
the screen brightness down below half way and the setting to Clear Blue Sky
helps quite a lot but is hard to see. It still flickers once in awhile. And I
cannot create a file in /sys/class/backlight to make the change permanent on
boot. The only major change I can think of is setting LivePatch up that could
have caused the flickering.
Thank you, I hope you find the fix as no Linux distros will work on my
ThinkCentre desktop PC.
