After the screen went blanc, it will intermittently not give a login prompt when you wake the screen.

I have Ubuntu 19.10 installed on a Dell Vostro 3670 (Intel® Core™ i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz × 12 ). The system has a Nvidia video card and the Nvidia 435.21 driver is installed.

I found a potential solution for Unbutu 18 (18.04 Screen remains blank after wake up from suspend):

$ sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

(change line to - GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nouveau.modeset=0")

$ sudo update-grub

This did not work. Any other solution? Best wishes, Gert Kruger
