Thanks for the bug report. Most intermittent black screen flickers are caused by a loss of display signal integrity. It's especially common at high resolutions or refresh rates (I notice you're using 4K). That can usually be fixed by replacing the display cable and/or taking the dock out of the equation. So three things to try:
1. A new (higher grade) cable. 2. Another new cable that bypasses the dock (USB-C to DisplayPort or whatever you need). 3. Next time the problem happens, immediately run this command: journalctl -b0 > journal.txt and attach the resulting text file here, in case something relevant is being logged. ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Tags added: multimonitor -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2076264 Title: Secondary external display intermittently goes black Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After upgrade to mantic, running with primary laptop display and secondary display via a dock, the secondary display will intermittently go black for 1-2 seconds. This was happening a few times a week, and at the moment started happening once every few minutes.
