[Bug 1264270] Re: Regular black screens since automatic kernel upgrade
Aurosutru, thank you for updating your BIOS. Could you please confirm
this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO
images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
. If the issue remains, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:
apport-collect -p linux REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER
If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER
where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc7
This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER
As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
Regular black screens since automatic kernel upgrade
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Since upgrading the kernel along with other automatic software updates
(about 200MB download) the video of this system regularly blanks after
a few minutes of operation or shows a black screen with white text
having machine gibberish that looks like a log file with seconds at
the left edge. Resetting the display screen to never turn off
automatically doesn't help. Unplugging the laptop's monitor and
plugging it in again will usually restore normal functioning, but only
for a while.
This sort of problem occurred the previous two times automatic kernel
upgrades were installed and was fixed by a display manager update that
followed about a week later, at least in one case. Maybe three times
is a charm and the underlying problem will now be solved.
Thanks.
I'm filing another bug regarding a crash that occurred during one of
the video hang-ups when monitor unplugging didn't help.
