Hello,
I installed open mandriva rome a few days ago on a an empty hard drive. When I click “Sleep” in the “start” menu, my computer goes to sleep. When it is asleep, when I press a button on the keyboard, it starts up, I hear fans spinning, but the screen remains black and the display says “no signal”. The only way to make computer work after that is to hold the turn off button and then turn it on again.
I saw on the forums posts about sleep does not working, but i don’t know what I should do, especially, since it’s a fresh installation. Please advise.
Requirements:
I have Searched the forum for my issue and found nothing related or helpful
I have checked the Resources category (Resources Index )
I have reviewed the Wiki for relevant information
I have read the the Release Notes and Errata

Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…):

Check if nvidia deamons are enabled on your system:
[engine@engine-om ~]$ systemctl status nvidia-suspend
○ nvidia-suspend.service - NVIDIA system suspend actions
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/nvidia-suspend.service; enabled; preset: disabled)
Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/system/service.d
└─10-timeout-abort.conf
Active: inactive (dead)
If not, you can enable it with: sudo systemctl enable nvidia-suspend
The same for hibernation:
[engine@engine-om ~]$ systemctl status nvidia-hibernate
○ nvidia-hibernate.service - NVIDIA system hibernate actions
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/nvidia-hibernate.service; enabled; preset: disabled)
Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/system/service.d
└─10-timeout-abort.conf
Active: inactive (dead)
If not, you can enable it with: sudo systemctl enable nvidia-hibernate
As far as I remember they are disabled by default.
