sometimes i wake up my pc from sleep, i get a black screen with a cursor.
The cursor was moving fine.
I can still switch to alternate terminals with CTRL+ALT+F2,my only option is to reboot,Is there another solution?
Please read this: How to provide good information
and post some more information so we can see what’s really going on. Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies…
An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information… (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.
What’s the output of:
journalctl --system --boot=-1 |tail --lines=35
after your reboot through REISUB or sudo reboot?
P.S. If you enter a bit more details in your profile, we can also see which Desktop Environment you’re using, which CPU/GPU or Kernel, … you have without typing it every time
