[lug] screen frequently blacks out on recent update...

[Internet Privacy Advocate]

I haven't an issue with the display, but my wireless card pukes out every now and then.  An immediate reboot won't fix it, but letting is sit a while does.  This is on Kubutu 18.10.  I know it's the card, because I have two different installations of 18.10 on the computer and when the wireless card quits on one distribution, it's also dead on the other.

Subject: [lug] screen frequently blacks out on recent update...

Has anyone else seen their screen frequently blank out for 1-2 seconds after a recent update? This is happening on both an Ubuntu 18.10 and CentOS system. I don't think it's a hardware issue since it's two different systems, two different monitors, and both have worked fine until the last few days.
Both are running Gnome.
(BTW I never managed to fix Gnome under 18.04. I eventually updated to 18.10 and it now works... but oddly I still get the Kubuntu logo when I'm prompted for the hardware decryption password.)
