As per the title, Ubuntu is no longer useable for me on my HP 6930p Laptop following a recent Feb 2020 Ubuntu update. On resume after suspend, I either get a blank screen or a frozen screen, I get the same issue on Lubuntu & Mint.

I'm certain is the update, as I can install a clean system and suspend/resume works fine, as soon as the updates are applied, I get the system hang issue.

Is there any fix for this, will the Ubuntu devs reverse whatever has caused the issue?

Thanks

Seems that my reply to the comment is too long, so I've pasted it here as a reply.

On Saturday 22nd Feb, I downloaded Ubuntu, Lubuntu & Mint from the official websites, all 3 worked fine until the package manager made some updates which presumably also come from an official source, after the updates my Laptop either has a blank screen on resume or the screen that was showing when I suspended the Laptop. In both cases the system is frozen. If it's not possible to work out what's on the official websites & what's in the official updates, then there's more to worry about than my Laptop. Do the updates only contain kernel changes, or are there perhaps also video driver updates. As I need my laptop for day to day use and as suspend / resume form an integral part of the daily use, I've had to move on to a Debian based distro that works just fine at the moment so I can't dig out the kernel versions. Up til now, Lubuntu has served my needs very well so it's a shame that I've had to move on. Maybe I'll come back when the next LTS version is released.

Hopefully someone else will be able to pick up on this issue and work out what changes have been released in Feb.
