2021-03-12 Thread AlexW
Public bug reported: Since I upgraded to 20.04.2 LTS I've had a problem (about once a day) with my screen going black. The computer is not unresponsive, but the only way to wake the screen up is to close and open the laptop lid. External screen is not affected. I'm on a HP Elitebook 820 notebook.
