External monitor gets disconnected after sleep

I am using Manjaro Gnome on my Lenovo Thinkpad. I am using an external LG monitor. After reconnecting HDMI cable I often faces problem in getting my screen on External monitor.

Suppose my external monitor is working fine and i put my laptop on sleep mode then on opening it again my external monitor says ““No Signal Please check your connection””. I have to power off my external monitor and connect again to get signal. This creates a lot unease.

I want to see my laptop screen on external monitor as soon as it is connected with hdmi.

Please provide your system information (full inxi output) as described (below) and any other useful details.

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.

To that end, links are provided (below) - Please use them.


Be prepared to provide outputs from various commands when 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.

Waiting for others to blindly ask questions can be counter-productive – typically, nobody has a :crystal_ball: at their disposal – Instead, please help others to make informed suggestions, based on information you provide.


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; :eyes:

Output of the inxi command (with appropriate parameters, and formatted according to forum guidelines) will generate information useful for those wishing to help:

inxi --filter --verbosity=8

or the short form (preferred):
