I just upgraded to Debian Buster from Stretch.
I am running it on an Acer Aspire V3-571 laptop.
I am using XFCE Desktop Environment ( in Stretch I used it also ).
In the Energy ... Settings I did set up in Stretch that that after 3
minutes of inactivity the screen comes blank and it works so far.
But, from there I can't wake up the laptop, whatever I am doing:
moving or clicking with the mice, hit Shift, Esc, Enter, Cursor Down
or Up, these does not help to get back to my Desktop.
The only way to get it back is to hold down the Power button until it
is shutted down, then hit again Power button to start the laptop.
I purge the apmd package, but that does not helped me out.
How can I solve this problem?
I had a similar problem on a different distro and I fixed it by just
upping the brightness when it was asleep. Fn f6 on a Thinkpad to
increase brightness.
Instead of sleeping or hibernating sometimes the machine was just
turning the screen brightness down...
Meanwhile I switch off in the Energy ... Settings that that the Screen
come blank after some inactivity, but that does not help either.
