The issue happened all of a sudden without any new software installation or updates (to my knowledge).
After I try to wake up the computer I get a white cursor on the screen and when I press CTRL
+ ALT
+ F7
I can see the following output:
/dev/nvme0n1p6: recovering journal
/dev/nvme0n1p6: Clearing orphaned inode 3019465 (uid=1000, gid=1000, mode=010060
...
...
/dev/nvme0n1p6: clean, 2591309/12058624 files, 26099507/48227072 blocks
I already tried setting GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
in /etc/default/grub
to both nouveau.blacklist=1
and nouveau.modeset=0
. Neither worked.
Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Kernel version: 5.8.0-59-generic
Video card: GTX 1060 Mobile with nvidia-driver-460
I just managed to solve the issue by moving to nvidia-driver-450. You can check this solution provided in the other comment:
