Bug Description
Hi. I've recently just received this laptop (it's the 8th gen i7 blade stealth) and it's plagued with screen flickering. I've tried installing the latest kernel with the proper i915 firmware. I've also tried Arch Linux, and had no luck there. So, I've settled back with Ubuntu and installed the 18.04 Bionic Beaver Daily ISO.
Description: Ubuntu Bionic Beaver (development branch)
Release: 18.04
Kernel: 4.15.0-997-generic
I'm not really sure what would be causing the issue. I'll happily use this as a test-bed to help improve Ubuntu! Thanks for your time.
Attached a bit of the syslog.
