Issue with hdmi

[Patrick Bouldin]

Hi, after returning to Qubes (I waited for 3.2 since my video was having issues) - seems to be working fine now.

However, when the machine times out into sleep, and if I've turned off my hdmi monitor I can't seem to wake up the video. I can tell Qubes is running, but have tried many ways to wake up the hdmi, haven't found a way.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Patrick

** Update **

I just discovered that turning off the hdmi monitor may be putting the cpu to sleep and locking the keyboard. If I momentarily push the power button and hit the keyboard or mouse it will come up with the hdmi monitor asking for a password. Maybe I'm about to be embarrassed that this is in the doc? Or is it a machine based variable?

Thank you,
Patrick

** 2nd update ** while the above update is true, unfortunately when the machine hibernates the only thing that brings the display back is a cold boot.

So it seems to be associated with losing the hdmi somehow - causing the machine not to be responsive to keyboard wake-up.

Any clues?

Thanks,
Patrick

You may have to enable serial port kernel console terminal for
debugging. That's usually very difficult on a laptop.
