Wake from Sleep/Standby/Hibernate - Blank Screen

[UncleSpellbinder]

So there seem to be quite a few threads on the subject. Most seem PC/system-specific. I’m going to assume this is Nvidia related? I’ve tried every possible combination of settings via System Settings > Power Management and Screen Locking. Whatever the choice, when waking, the monitor starts to wake and goes right back into sleep/stand-by. I have to hold the power button for a hard reboot.

It’s not the end of the world. I have no problem shutting down each night before bed, or when I’m away from the PC. Just curious if there may be something I can do here to rectify this.

Too bad there’s no screensaver for Wayland.

I have to hold the power button for a hard reboot.

do this instead

[Tip] Enable Magic SysRq Key (REISUB)

The Linux kernel authors have provided a very nice feature of issuing low-level commands to the kernel directly, regardless of the state the system is in. This is called the “Magic SysRq Key”, because these commands are issued by pressing the SysRq key on the keyboard (if you can’t find it, typically, it shares the same physical key as the Print Screen key, but on some laptops it can be elsewhere). A common use is to reboot when the computer freezes and becomes unresponsive due to some software…

also does it have issues with the open source driver? I am trying to see if I can recreate the issue with XFCE with my nvidia.

[Moonbase59]

Maybe you’re right suspecting NVIDIA. I try to avoid these, and I’m impressed how well EOS handles supend and hibernate on my laptops with built-in Intel grahics. Even wakes up from suspend after an hour, saves to disk and goes to hibernate. And superfast on resume.

Then again, I also try to avoid Wayland, all my systems running X. But I don’t think that should be the cause (hopefully).

I don’t seem to have a SysRq button as required…

[thefrog]

the same one that says Print Screen

[UncleSpellbinder]

Oh… it IS the print screen button. I misread that. I thought it was next to. Thanks for clarifying.

I’m using nvidia (open source) 570.144. Tried on all three kernels I have… LTS, Zen and the one I’m on now, 6.14.3-arch1-1

@UncleSpellbinder

nvidia (open source) 570.144

is that 570.144-2?

[UncleSpellbinder]

Yes.

[thefrog]

Well I assume if the updated kernel doesn’t fix it we will continue.

[Moonbase59]

FYI: Quick cross-check here (suspend only) on 6.14.4-arch1-1, on both a Toshiba Satellite L70-B and a Dell Latitude E6510—all good, even my SqueezeLite (LMS music player) continued playing. Impressive.

Running EOS/Cinnamon.

[UncleSpellbinder]

Nvidia?

[Moonbase59]

Nope, both Intel built-in graphics.

Updated kernels, and tried this as a test…

…waited about 5 minutes, pressed the power button on the PC and I’m back. No blank monitor. I’ll further test overnight and see what happens in the morning.

[Moonbase59]

Cool, let us know then!
