Thanks for confirming the fix! Just to clarify, the nvidia 375.26 driver is not in the Ubuntu repositories yet. We packaged it in the System76 ppa so our customers get the fixes in a timely manner. Since Tuesday, running updates should fix this issue for all affected System76 customers.
For people wanting to use the 375.26 driver for non-System76 machines, I recommend using the Graphics Drivers Team ppa. Thank you all for adding your comments. This really helped in getting it fixed in the nvidia driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-367 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1631191 Title: Display backlight won't turn on after screen timeout Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-367 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Using nVidia driver 367.44 on Skylake Intel Processors, with 1000 series graphics, the backlight won't turn on after turned off by gnome session idle delay (org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay). or by `xset dpms force off` Resume from suspend is unaffected. This is on a clean install of 16.10 with the 367.44 nVidia driver. This is a regression from the 367.35 driver. 367.48 and 370.28 also exhibit this behavior. This is confirmed on the following hardware: Oryx Pro 2 (oryp2) i7-6700HQ with 1070 Serval 10 (serw10) i7-6700 with 1060 Bonobo 11 (bonw11) i7-6700K with dual 1070 Steps to reproduce: 1. Install a fresh image of Yakkety and 367.44 from the graphics driver team's PPA. 2. Log in to Unity shell 3. Lock screen and wait for dimming. 4. Move the mouse to 'resume' 5. The screen will turn on, but the backlight is still off The current workaround: 1. Hit tty1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) 2. Hit tty7 (Ctrl+Alt+F7) This will bring Unity back to life.
