System not be able to enter suspend mode
For a few days, the system has not been able to enter suspend mode. Could someone give me some advice on where to start looking?
Screens (2) goes completely blank, the cursor on the up left side blinking, and the only solution is turn off the computer.
My version is 20.04
Inxi output:
Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA driver: nvidia v: 495.29.05
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.13
driver: nvidia unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,nouveau,vesa

Thank you
Since devices are more and specific to the Windows OS and the native binary NVIDIA driver mediocre at best you might have chance to make the acpi parts needed by nvidia get running again. Here is a pretty detailed explanation.
Basically you should try to tell a part of the firmware, that you are "window" device.
Open a terminal and type:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
There is a line that starts with: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="...."
(The dots mean that there might be an entry inside) Add the following definition:
acpi_osi=\"Windows 2015\"
into that line so it looks like this: (do not overwrite entries, just add)
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi_osi=\"Windows 2015\""
close the editor with keyboard keys Crtl+x (thats how nano works) and issue the command
sudo update-grub
reboot
If it doesn't help or you've got problems after restart: simply repeat the steps above and remove the entry, save the file and call update-grub
again - so no harm is done.
Good luck
