Hello,
it happened again, i returned to Linux 5.10.36-2-MANJARO XFCE 4.16 computer after a few minutes, it locked the session and went black screen properly (as numerous times before), but this time it does not show login prompt, only black screen. Keyboard reacts, computer goes. What worked was to SSH into computer and run: systemctl suspend
and then hit a key on keyboard to wakeup successfully.
I’m seeing this, too, even though I’ve disabled screen lock. When locking screen explicitly with CTRL-ALT-DEL, or closing the laptop lid, it still goes over to black screen that won’t go away. Thanks for the tip about blind typing, though, it works!
I wonder if this is related to using the open source Intel graphics driver?
my OS is migrated from Intel GPU computer to AMD GPU-only computer (computer has AMD cpu with integrated graphics) yet this issue still happen for me. I am unsure if intel drivers remains can influence it:

btw. Manjaro has no active bug tracker where devs. try to debug the issue and fix it?
I tried to downgrade to 5.10 LTS, but that didn’t help. What did help was installing all proprietary drivers in Manjaro Settings Manager. I have a dual GPU Intel-NVIDIA machine, so your kilometrage may vary.
