Monitor goes into standby after update

Support Graphics & Display

I have the following issue right after I installed the Manjaro update that just came in. Also reported by several other users, e.g. in the laptop section.

Booted, went in to grub and changed to kernel 5.13.1-3

Now a restart ends up with my monitor going into stand-by as, I assume, my GeForce RTX 2080 Super went to sleep. the system is running though as my keybord’s leds change color as soon as the system is up (using g810-led)

A normal power-off and power-on gives no problems. Also recovering from sleep is OK. Furthermore my system is supersized, runs cool, no dust, runs way below capacity.

Googling didn’t help me to find a solution other than rebuilding my kernel, which is a no-go

This is the error I get:

(base) [rob@jaws ~]$ sudo journalctl -p 3 -xb

And also:

[rob@jaws ~]$ sudo dmesg | grep nvidia:
[    2.009792] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel

I’ll switch back to kernel 5.12.16-1 for now.

OK, 5.12 didn’t solve the problem, a restart still results in a black sleeping screen and the same errors.
I read there were several problems with the linux-firmware package related to Manjaro randomly freezing here: System frequently crashing after GPU drivers update - #121 by Hans12
Here : Manjaro freezes several times a day
and here: System frequently crashing after GPU drivers update

Who can help? I’ll gladly file a bug report but maybe one of the guru’s here can help narrowing down the issue as it seems to affect more people.

Idk if it’s an update related issue or not, but if you are on an SSD, try reseating it. This happened to me a few days back, and it fixed the problem (for now).

Tip: When pasting terminal output on Discourse forums, one can either…

  • Highlight it and use the Preformatted text </> toolbar button.

  • Add three backticks ` above and below the text (Markdown):

    ```
    text
    ```

  • Use HTML:

    <pre><code>
    text
    </pre></code>

Please edit your post accordingly.

I’ll give bot’h ssd’s a bump but I ran some diagnostics and they’re both 100% ok. Besides that, the computer has been sitting on the same spot since a year, it’s basically unmovable. All fans are clear from dust, the whole think is squeaky clean and super tight.
