This bug report is about 2 network icons on taskbar on package that is now EOL; nothing will happen.

If the issue also occurs in Lubuntu 20.04 LTS that is supported; the software stack is very different (different desktop for starters) so a new bug should be filed.

Each issue should be in it's own bug report; unless the issues are linked. This report makes me think of `lxpanel` (given it's notifications appearing on the panel) however that has nothing to do with video/blanking screen... By keeping a report about a single issue, it's easier to work out the package where the bug impacts (lubuntu-meta is a catch all for unknown bugs, as its a package that won't generally be changed post-release)

Once I've worked out the package involved (often with help on bug reports here, or IRC etc; #lubuntu or #lubuntu-devel on libera.chat for lubuntu issues on supported releases) I tend to test in later releases (esp. the latest) and see if it's an issue there. Developers work on the development release (only back-porting security fixes to stable releases) so that's where you get their attention.

If the issue occurs in the development release (currently impish), I then will test in another different environment (eg. for me it's opensuse tumbleweed, debian testing or fedora rawhide; some may be helpful (up-to-date) at times they won't be (eg. debian is currently in freeze), but if you find the issue in other OSes with latest software.. you can then file the bug upstream (where the fix flows down to all distributions). Upstream generally only care about bugs when filed about the latest release of their software

Launchpad allows you to link upstream reports if you get that far, but if you can't find it, just adding the URL to the report is enough so its documented.

This bug was filed on a Lubuntu package, our current wiki page on bug reporting can be viewed at https://phab.lubuntu.me/w/bugs/ (note: it still has the LXDE-LXQt comparison table which may be removed when a change is next required to the document) which is useful to narrow down which Lubuntu package maybe involved.

FYI: To test the latest without requiring an install; you can use dailies (currently created for focal (what will be 20.04.3) and impish (what will be 21.10 on release)) which can be used without installation (https://discourse.lubuntu.me/t/what-is-a-lubuntu-live-session-test/1672 maybe useful if you're not aware of the concept; the thread is still open so if the question is related to testing modern Lubuntu I can be reached there too). Dailies are a great way to test for issues on different hardware too to gain more details for bug reports.
