The screen blanks after BIOS, flickers a few times, and then plymouth dies, leaving the system in an inconsistent state. You may or may not see the Plymouth boot splash graphics.
Problem: Black screen after resume:- Typical scenario is "use a laptop docked with lid closed, only the external screen is active, suspend, take the laptop, open it somewhere"... which leads to "no screen active". To debug this problem, check if gnome-settings-daemons is getting a signal that the display configuration has changed, by running xtrace against it, and look for a RRScreenChangeNotify event when resuming the machine. If that signal is being sent, then it indicates a possible bug in g-s-d. Otherwise, it suggests a bug in either X or (more likely) the kernel which is not causing the signal to be emitted to begin with. Problem: Lockup When Closing Lid with Intel Graphics There is a long known issue with the -intel driver where pipe A/B mixups can cause hangs at the point where the lid is closed. The good news is that it is easily quirkable. In general this is most often seen with newer hardware, because older hardware either has already gotten a quirk or doesn't need one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349943 Title: Screen blinks randomly on external monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/349943/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
