hi. i have ubuntu 16.04 installed on HP amd 64bit pavilion desktop with nvidia geforce 6150 LE graphics.
i have had this problem for a long time, the screen going black after timeout setting and then sometime later not being able to get the screen or mouse to respond.
I end up having to cold boot to get the system back up.
To get around the problem, i used to just power off/on the monitor when i wasn't using it.
I think the power button is going bad on the Dell 24" monitor, so i need a better solution.
for now until i can get a real solution, i have plugged the monitor into a separate power strip that i can easily turn on/off.
i used to have the brightness/lock option set to turn screen off when inactive for 10 min. Have it set to never for now just so i don't have to do a hard boot every day or sometimes multiple times per day.
the Power options are set to Don't Suspend, and Never show battery status in the menu bar. (this is a desktop, not a laptop).
thanks for any help you can provide.
