Screen periodically blanks for a couple of seconds with kernel 6.8.0

Well, I could try! I don't know how to install it on 22.04, though.

Nope I wouldn't, I know how you run your systems, and this would just turn into a royal pain in the derrière...lol
If your serious I can help, but think logically, and not with your feelings.

None of those seems to relate to my problem.

Oh thats just a taste of the bugs filed against it.

Yes, X11. Wayland isn't ready for me yet — it can't do what I need it to do.

No disagreement here....

Well I also call you an experienced buntu user, so have a look.

You need to go here: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/mainline/v6.10.5/
Download all in the red square (Screenshot), make a folder named "kernels" or what you want to call it, place all the downloaded kernels there in that new folder.

Now CD to that location ie:

cd /Downloads/kernels

Now install them in one shot:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

with this method you can easily remove them when finished testing.

You need to go here…

Thank you. Unfortunately, it has errors with unmet dependencies.

Oh well. I have uninstalled the 6.10 kernel for now.

Hi, I was facing the same problem and solved it by disabling the touchscreen in the BIOS. When a patch is released might re-enable it, never use it anyway.

Thank you. When I saw your answer, I first tried disabling the touchscreen in the software (using xinput), because I do occasionally like to use the touchscreen, but unfortunately that didn't work.

I've disabled it in the BIOS now, and so far it's holding. We'll see what happens. I haven't yet had time to test kernel 6.10.

Are you also using Dell, or do you have a different device?

[Paddy Landau]

Ugh. Disabling the touchscreen in the BIOS hasn't helped.

Exact same problem! I use Zorin OS, (based on Ubuntu 22.04) and these issue happen latest kernel update (6.5 to 6.8)

My device a HP Elitebook 840 G3. I use it with a Dell External monitor, with Displayport output.

If you have a experimenter, you able to try these kernel: https://github.com/zabbly/linux

It make a ex-canonical employee. He made a lot of kernel version to 22.04 ubuntu. for example 6.6 or 6.10. One thing, if you use these type of kernel, you need to disable secure boot! (if you dont do these before )

more info: https://stgraber.org/2023/08/24/stab...inline-builds/

So I started taking the latest stable bugfix release of the mainline kernel, generate a configuration that’s very close to an Ubuntu generic kernel, cherry-pick a few small changes that aren’t upstream yet and then build that and push it to my machines.

Thank you. I've installed these (it's a pity that I have to disable Secure Boot). I'll report back tomorrow whether or not it works.
