Thanks for the bug report. There doesn't seem to be any Nvidia driver loaded, which is at least one explanation for not being able to control the monitor.
Please open the 'Additional Drivers' app and use it to install an Nvidia driver. If you have already done that then see bug 1975650. ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => ubuntu ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2081244 Title: External Monitor backlight does not turn off on blank Status in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When my screen blanks from inactivity timeout the backlight stays on, for multiple hours and does not turn off ever. Additional Notes: * "Everything else" appears to be working fine. I can move my mouse, enter password on lock screen, and resume doing whatever I was doing normally, nothing else is "stuck" * This is a dual boot machine, on the Win11 side of things there are no issues. * Monitor connected over display port. * This was also a problem in Ubuntu 22 which was installed before the 24 upgrade. * This has been consistently happening for a number of months. * FWIW The monitor in question is a Asus PG32UQR. Happy to provide any other additional info required or further help debug.
