Chris,  After installing the latest available mainline kernel build
version for Raring - 3.9.0-030900rc8 - the video problem again is gone.
On UbuntuForums this kernel had good reviews, especially regarding the
way it fixes Intel video problems on laptops, so it seems to have done
the trick.  I'll post any problems here if they arise in the next few
days.

I'm curious why there isn't a final build of 3.9 available for Raring,
only for Saucy and Trusty.  I also wonder why the auto updates of Raring
are based on 3.8 rather than newer kernels.

Thanks for the tip on using wget with resume - I've been using Windows
FDM for that function.  Your patience and expert assistance are also
much appreciated.

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.
