After installing Manjaro, when I use the suspend button or execute systemctl suspend and then wake up the system, I get a black screen. Only the mouse cursor is visible, and I cannot see the desktop. However, if the system automatically turns off the screen after being idle for a while, I can wake up normally. After wake up this is “kwin: Desktop effects have been restarted due to graphics reset.”
Some potentially useful information:
I am using a dual-boot setup, with Manjaro and Windows 11 installed on separate SSDs, but they share the same EFI. Also, I have a dual monitor setup.
My Guess:
I suspect this might be related to the graphics card. There is an indicator light on my laptop that shows the status of the display card. When I suspend in Windows or when Manjaro turns off the display, the light stays on. However, when I execute systemctl suspend, the light turns off, and it lights up again once I wake up the system.
Thank you to anyone who can help! If additional information is needed, feel free to ask. I’m a newbie to Manjaro.
This isn’t necessarily true - and it would only take one minute to log out and log in again with a Wayland session… It makes no sense not to try it.
Plenty of folks use nVidia on Wayland - and not everyone’s issues exist for all users…
Wayland also works well with newer nVidia drivers… though X11 should be more stable.
For Wayland, I believe you should force GBM (nvidia-drm.modeset=1 added to kernel parameters in /etc/default/grub).
It might pay also to use env __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia for some apps.
There are possible differences - and there’s no better way to find out than ‘suck it and see’. Laptop chips are generally more efficiency oriented, whilst Desktops should be better cooled and suited to higher performance for the same price point/model.
Please provide system information as described (below).
Regards.
Welcome to the Manjaro community
As a new or infrequent forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements, and the many ways to use the forum to your benefit:
Update Announcements
The Update Announcements contain important information and a Known Issues and Solutions section that should generally be checked before posting a request for support.
System Information
While information from *-fetch type apps might be fine for someone wishing to buy your computer, for Support purposes it’s better to ask your system directly;
Output of the inxi command with appropriate parameters will achieve this (naturally, formatted according to forum guidelines) and will generally be more useful for those wishing to help:
Be prepared to provide output from other commands whenever asked. It’s equally important to provide as much actionable information as possible in your first post, rather than simply indicating there is a problem.
