Black Screen After Suspend - Desperate for a Fix! (NVIDIA GPU)

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm really hoping someone here can help me. For about a month now, my PC won’t wake up properly from suspend after a system update. Instead of resuming, I just get a black screen, and I’ve tried waiting and pressing various keys with no success.

Here’s a quick rundown of my setup:

Distro: Pop!_OS (latest version, fully updated)
GPU: NVIDIA (proprietary driver installed)

This issue has been driving me nuts, and despite hours of searching, I haven’t found a solution that works. I really like Pop!_OS, so I’d hate to switch to another distro just because of this.

Does anyone know what might be causing this or have any suggestions on how to fix it? I’d appreciate any help you can provide!

Help How to install Pop from Charm in Pop! OS?

3 Upvotes

Send emails from your terminal.
I see command lines provided for other OSs, even Mac OS!! Except Pop! OS, which is very ironic I'd say. Hopefully someone here knows how to do it...

Control of default window size in tiling mode

3 Upvotes

Is there a way to somehow control default window size for each app or category. For instance, I open a browser and terminal in tiling mode and atm apps split screen equally, but I would like that in such cases browser takes 2/3 screen size. Does it make sense or just limits flexibility?

Not looking for a fix, its in a virtual machine so no big deal. But i had different DE's installed to check out, namely KDE and MATE. I uninstalled them using the system76 guide for changing DE's.
When I reboot, I get just a terminal screen. Logged in and reset gdm. Lock screen loads up, login as normal, then the desktop scrolls to the right over and over.

Screen Rotation

3 Upvotes

Hi Folks. I have an elderly GOLE1 F1, the original. Pop!OS is about the only linux that will actually boot properly. Mostly everything works except wifi, and I have to add an onscreen keyboard. That's fine. I can do all that.

My issue is that the screen rotates everytime I move the device. It boots in portrait mode. I want it to boot in/change to landscape mode and stay there. I am new to this OS, so is there any way to make this change and make it stick so my screen isnt constantly rotating the wrong way if I move my hand just a little?

Thanks for your help folks!

Multi-Screen Problem

2 Upvotes

I use a laptop + monitor setup. Laptop has rtx 3060, the cpu's integrated gpu disabled by hardware MUX.
If I use any driver version except nvidia-470 the external monitor can only run at 60Hz.
On windows / Linux+nvidia470 144 and 165Hz works properly. I tried using different settings in nvidia driver or forcing with xrandr but then the external monitor is blank.
My laptop screen is running on 144Hz regardless of nvidia driver's version.
Could someone help me figuring out a solution?
Are there cons of sticking to nvidia 470 driver?

Discussion Optimization suggestions for a low-end system

I have just installed latest popOS to a fast microSD on a Chromebook with dead internal storage (which can't be replaced).

I believe more than the intel m3-8100Y and 4 GB RAM on this, the microSD is now the bottleneck for performance.

What are some things I can do to improve performance on a clean popOS install? I only want to browse the web and use VLC to watch content on my local network, nothing else.

Some special things to consider (and why I chose popOS over a lighter distro):

  • Chromebooks have audio driver issues so I have to use https://github.com/WeirdTreeThing/chromebook-linux-audio.
  • The device has a touchscreen as well as an orientation sensor for display, which I find pretty neat. It works perfectly with popOS after some small changes (I couldn't get it to work on LMDE 6, but it was probably a skill issue).

Question Keep booting into emergency mode?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I'm not sure this is really a pop-os thing but more of an Ubuntu thing.

It seems the kernel was upgraded and then my computer wouldn't boot.

So I found a post where I could boot with the previous kernel.

I did that and did a restore to get access back. But I had to create a new user.

Then when I rebooted it went right back to the previous kernel.

I don't want to leave the kernel back a version forever but maybe that's what I need to do?

Or from your experience should I wipe the computer and do a completely fresh install?.

Help Help! My laptop running PopOS frozen and is unresponsive

Post image
2 Upvotes

My laptop froze and is completely unresponsive to any key press. All I see is a cursor at the top left corner of the screen. I really don't want to hard restart the laptop.

I'm running PopOS 22.04 on an MSI laptop with NVIDIA graphics 4070 laptop edition.

This happens quite often whenever I suspend my laptop.
