Bug Description
Absolutely reproducible in Ubuntu 18.04.1 Gnome 3 UI with a Dell XP15 laptop and a Dell TB16 dock.
A few seconds after logging into the Gnome 3 UI, something in the UI starts the fwupd.service. About 2 seconds later, the display goes blank and does not come back. There is no obvious recovery short of killing all the user's processes, and then logging back in. A second login does not reproduce the problem, since the fwupd service is now running, and does not restart. However manually restarting the fwupd service causes the problem to recur.
The problem does not occur if the "dell" module is blacklisted in /etc/fwupd/
