I’ve had a look at other threads with a similar topic but they tend to be for KDE and refer to a KDE bug. I’m not running KDE, I’m running Gnome.
When my Dell XPS 15 9570 laptop blanks the screen automatically, or goes to sleep/suspend, it sometimes doesn’t come back. I can’t get out of the blank screen, typically.
If the laptop hasn’t gone to sleep but has just blanked the screen, sometimes, but not always, I can close the lid and reopen it and I’ll get the lock screen showing, allowing me to log back in. (No mouse movement or ordinary keystrokes will activate the screen.)
But, if that doesn’t work, or if the laptop has gone into sleep/suspend and shows only a blank screen when I try to wake it up, then there’s really nothing I can do to get back into my session. I’ve discovered that intstead of Alt-SysRq-REISUB I only need to do Alt-SysRq-K - this shuts down my X session and kills all my processes in the session, but I get the login screen and don’t have to reboot. Small benefit, since I’ve lost my session.
The problem is very inconsistent. I can suspend my laptop multiple times and it won’t happen, then it will, or I turn away for a few minutes and the screen locks and blanks and suddenly I can’t get back into my session, occasionally. It’s happening about once a day or every couple of days at the moment.
This started happening, if I recall correctly, after I updated to Nvidia Prime and the latest proprietary drivers. Previously I’d been using bumblebee and some old drivers, nvidia-340 or something like that.
(In the distant past - a couple of years ago - I’d had problems with blank screen on resume, but various threads recommended fixes which together seemed to work. I have the following options set on my GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet udev.log_priority=3 resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/... resume_offset=... mem_sleep_default=deep ipv6.disable=1 pcie_aspm=off ath10k_core.skip_otp=y i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=0".)
