I have a similar problem using an external HDMI monitor connected to a laptop.
Not sure if this is related because it happens with the blank screen after a period of inactivity (without using the screen lock). After the screen has gone blank due to a period of inactivity, I move the mouse or press a key on the keyboard to wake up both screens. However, 1 of 3 things will happen: 1. The laptop's screen will wake up but the external monitor doesn't wake up. 2. The external monitor will wake up but the laptop's screen doesn't wake up. 3. Both screens will wake up as they should. To get both screens to wake up, I right click on the active screen and click "Display Settings". Click on "Mirror" then back to "Join", then "Apply" then "Revert Settings". The blank screen then realizes it is supposed to be on and it wakes up. The other option is to unplug and re- plug the HDMI cable in, but I got tired of doing this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1968040 Title: Blanked screen doesn't wake up after locking [drmModeAtomicCommit: Argument invalide] [drmModeAtomicCommit: Invalid argument] Status in GNOME Shell: New Status in Mutter: New Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: [ Workaround ] Add to /etc/environment (in Ubuntu 22.04): MUTTER_DEBUG_ENABLE_ATOMIC_KMS=0 or in Ubuntu 22.10 and later: MUTTER_DEBUG_FORCE_KMS_MODE=simple and then reboot. [ Original report ] (initially reported as a comment on bug #1965085, and split into a separate bug report) After I lock my screen and let it blank, moving the mouse or pressing any key on the keyboard won't wake it up. The only reliable workaround I've found is to press Ctrl+Alt+F1. That's on a fully up-to-date jammy, my hardware is an Intel NUC with a single Samsung monitor connected with a standard HDMI cable. This is a regression that started happening yesterday (2022-04-05) if I can remember correctly (I do apply pending updates at least once daily).
