hi, i already added nomodeset to the grub menu to solve the blank screen when booting, but now when i suspend my laptop or close the lid i only see a blank screen and hear the fan noise. i also dont know what drivers i am using, where can i see it? i added packan and nvidia repo but i dont know if im using them
if you have hybrid graphics that may be an issue
have you tried adding and removing a usb device such as a mouse at the blank screen?
yes and it doesnt work
I know when I had a hybrid intel/nvidia laptop it didn’t resume well if you were on nvidia
in the end I never really used nvidia
Now that problem is gone because I just have Intel
how do i check if im using the nvidia drivers? also i dont know if this help, but on ubuntu screenfetch displayed intel-something as my gpu, now it says llvmpipe (LLVM 11.0.0, 256 bits)
It sounds like that’s some fallback driver
I’m not too sure to fair. I have not worked with nvidia for so many years now
I would say though that you seem of limited Linux experience, so Tumbleweed is probably not the best choice
i never had problems with other distros, on ubuntu i could easily switch between nouveau and nvidia drivers
Open a terminal and become root with
su -
Then post the result of
