Public bug reported:
My PC has an Nvidia G98 video card with a single monitor (HP ZR22w)
connected over DisplayPort. When I turn the monitor off and switch it
back on, the screen remains black. The monitor displays its "no signal"
message.
This only happens while logged in, either with the default Gnome-Shell
interface or without a desktop environment. More precisely, if the
current console is the GUI session on tty2 when I switch the monitor on,
the monitor does not receive any signal. If the current console is the
Gdm login screen on tty1 or a text mode login screen on tty3, the
display turns on normally.
Running xrandr shows "DP-2 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left
inverted right x axis y axis) 475mm x 267mm" when the monitor is on,
even when the screen remains black. It shows DP-2 as disconnected while
the monitor is off.
The attached log file Xorg.1.log shows a session where I log in, then
turn the monitor off and turn it back on a few seconds later. X does
notice that the monitor has been turned on, yet the screen remains
black.
Switching consoles after turning the monitor on does not help. To get
the display back, the current console has to be something other than the
logged-in console at the time the monitor is switched on. Another
workaround is to run "xset dpms force off; xset dpms force on" when the
screen is black after switching the monitor on.
This happens since I upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04.
I had assistance writing this bug report, I can only type in the
terminal whatever I am told.
