Public bug reported: I had previously submitted this bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1937914 , but I submitted a system log from an older, working version of Ubuntu rather than from the failing version. This report has the updated log.
While starting the my laptop (Computer Model: HP Probook 450 G6 ProdID 5YH15UT#ABA Memory: 15.5 GB Processor: Intel Core i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz x 8 Graphics: NV118 / Mesa Intel UHD Graphics 620 (WHL GT2) Disk Capacity: 256.1 GB) which runs (OS Name: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS OS Type: 64-bit GNOME Version: 3.36.8 Windowing System: X11) the monitor turns off as soon as Ubuntu loads. The OS loads as normal and my external monitor still works, but my laptop monitor does not. I was able to fix the problem by pressing ESC as soon as the HP logo appears during start-up, then selecting "Advanced Ubuntu Options", then choosing an older version of Ubuntu (currently that's ...5.4.0-48..., while I believe the latest version is ...5.8.0-66...). It seems clear that this problem is caused by a bug that was introduced in one of the more recent updates (...5.8.0-59..., maybe?). I am not at all sure that the problem is in xorg; the package identification webpage just suggested that, if the monitor is blank when I would expect to see the Ubuntu logo during startup, then I should say that the relevant package is xorg. I am more than happy to run additional diagnostics that you would recommend if that would help you diagnose and fix the problem. Thank you.
