I am having the following issue with my laptop. I assume it's Ubuntu related.
When I suspend the laptop (either with sudo systemctl suspend, using the shortcut Fn+F4 or from the top right bar, it doesn't matter), the screen goes dark for several seconds, then comes back to the screen which prompts to enter the password as if I just started the laptop. After inputting the correct password, it loads the desktop for a couple of seconds with all the applications closed. After showing the desktop for a couple of seconds, the system locks the laptop, so I need to input the password again.
It seems to me that instead of suspending the system, it is instead first rebooted and then locked.
In addition, I noticed that along with this newly appeared problem commands like reboot and shutdown stopped working properly. They work only when running with sudo, which wasn't the case previously.
I didn't make any changes to the system files recently, except for following the accepted answer in this question, but I doubt that it could've affected the OS this much...
I also found this question, but I am reluctant to follow it for 2 reasons:
- Using Nvidia drivers is the core of my work, so I can't disable them
- It used to be fine before, and the commands got broken a couple of days ago after more than a year of normal work
Could it be because of an Nvidia-driver-unrelated issue? Any thoughts?
