Public bug reported: occasionally the screen will darken and just do nothing for a while.. then lighten up and everything is fine. Also, occasionally the screen will go into a spasm with multiple colors all across, (with previous screen barely visable behind it. I push cont alt del and when the shutdown window appears, I cancel it and usually screen returns to normal. I have upgraded from Ubuntu 15.10 to 16.? LTS and it has happened a couple more times, maybe not as much.
