Black screen after wake up from suspend

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware
1

Hello!

  • After waking up PC from suspension, the screen goes black.
  • I can hear sounds, like, music is playing, notifications arrives.
  • System does not respond to input and PC power button.

I’m not sure when this started to happen, maybe after a major update. I searched forums, can’t seem to find an answer. Enabling Nvidia services doesn’t help, moreover I disabled those specifically, because earlier I was dealing with graphical artefacts. Doing so helped get rid of glitches and system did suspension very well all this time until now. Feels like OS fails to load up something.

I’m not sure what logs to gather, but here are some:

Thanks!

Thought I read somewhere that this was a mainline kernel related bug.
Try running the LTS kernel, and see how that goes.
PS: use the pre-installed application “akm”.

Ok, I installed LTS kernel using “akm”. Did suspend manually. Unfortunately, the issue still persists. Nothing changed, except grub is loading longer than usual now, before showing boot options, but that’s unrelated.

Did you try replacing your display manager? Changing to lightdm actually made it work with my similar issue. Not really a fix, but I ran out of ideas.

Welcome to the forum :grin:

I see btrfs. Could be that you need to do something different for your swap file to make it work?

I am by no means a btrfs guru, just a suggestion.

That’s because it’s a new issue without a solution yet. Not sure why you had to start a new thread for this, despite finding an existing one that details the exact same issue?

Check the contents of /var/log/pacman.log to identify packages updated just before you noticed the issue:
