  • Here’s how to disable the GPU drivers:

    Remove “nomodeset” from the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX variable in /etc/default/grub

    Add “rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau” to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX instead

    Run sudo update-grub then reboot

    Note: This only works if you’re using the open-source drivers, known as Nouveau. If you’re using the proprietary drivers, this will not work.

    To check if you’re using Nouveau or the proprietary drivers, run lspci and check for “NVIDIA”, then run lsmod and check for Nouveau.

    Remember to change it back when you want to re-enable the NVIDIA drivers.

    (PS: I used this website as a source, their procedure is more complicated.)








  • I think it’s something with the monitor’s firmware.

    • Does the monitor have its own power button? Does it disconnect the power flow completely?
    • If it doesn’t, it could be the monitor’s firmware misbehaving, thinking the button was pressed when it wasn’t.
    • When you shut down your computer, see if the monitor turns off as well, or if it stays on and says “No Signal”.
    • Also, test it with another computer.

    Another possibility is with the GPU. Try disabling it temporarily, and booting with only software rendering.



















  • Vimes picked himself up off the greasy cobbles and stared at the Librarian.
    He was experiencing something which had come as a shock to many people,
    usually in much more unpleasant circumstances such as a brawl started in the Mended Drum when the ape wanted a bit of peace and quiet to enjoy a reflective pint, which was this:
    the Librarian might look like a stuffed rubber sack, but what it was stuffed with was muscle.
