It kind if sounds like the system is in partial sleep mode, or trying to
get there. And that would make sense because when the bug occurs the lid
is closed and you've disconnected the only other screen. So you're kind
of asking for screen hotplugging (or switching back to it on the KVM) to
wake the system. When you put it that way it's kind of not a bug, if the
theory is right...
Can you please run 'gnome-tweaks' and check that:
Gnome Tweaks > Power > Suspend when laptop lid is closed = OFF
?

Title:
Blank screen when hotplugging monitors connected through DisplayPort
dock
Status in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Hi,
I run Ubuntu 18.04 on a Dell Precision 7540. Most of the time I use
this through a Dell WD19DC dock. The dock is connected to a Trendnet
TK-240DP KVM Switch.
If I have the laptop clamshell closed, like I normally do, and switch
my KVM to the other computer, and then switch back, my monitors stay
enter power saving mode. Most of the time, I am able to recover the
screens by pressing Control-Alt-F3, waiting a few seconds, and then
pressing Control-Alt-F2. The problem does not happen if the clamshell
is left open. Part of the problem is that this is a cheaper KVM, and
from the laptop's perspective the screens are disconnected when the
computer is switched.
Changing a few small things makes the problem not occur:
* Opening the clamshell when switching the KVM. Interestingly, if the
clamshell is open during either the switch away OR the switch back, the screen
recovers.
* Manually removing the displays one at a time does not reliably trigger the
problem. Though I have witnessed the problem occur once or twice when removing
a single display.
I am attaching three nvidia bug report logs:
1. nvidia-bug-report-before.log.gz is after a clean boot when I have not used
the KVM.
2. nvidia-bug-report-blank.log.gz is after switching the KVM to the other
computer and back. During this time, both screens are black. The log was
taken over ssh.
3. nvidia-bug-report-workaround.log.gz is after I have recovered the screen
after using Ctrl-Alt-F3 followed by Ctrl-Alt-F2.
This problem happens when prime-select is set to intel or nvidia.
These logs are when it was set to intel.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
