resume from blank screen nouveau 0000:01:00.0: bus: MMIO read of 00000000 FAULT at 6013d4 [ IBUS ] (18.10)

Question

On Ubuntu 18.10 I have Settings for blank screen after 10 mins however when I hit ESC to resume it just shows purple screen and does not respond to keyboard no login prompt ... using screen top right down arrow I hit Suspend ... then upon resume from suspend I do get login screen and can successfully login

I use an external monitor with Setting Single Display set to the external monitor. This same laptop has been stable using latest installs of ubuntu for past 2 years from 16.04 onward ... issue only started when using 18.10

See this in dmesg

I do have an Nvidia card however on this install I have not touched the graphics drivers

Solution

It looks like the newer Nouveau drivers aren't compatible with your hardware (common with reverse-engineered drivers from time to time).

• Try removing them (and using only Intel drivers)
• using the NVidia Proprietary drivers
• See if there's some support for NVidia Optimus with your system. I haven't had to mess with this in a while, but there was a "Bumblebee" tool that might be useful.

Comments

[Admin]

I would use the proprietary drivers instead.

[athos]

i'm have the same error bus: MMIO read of 00000000 FAULT at 6013d4 [ IBUS ] trying set up the hibernate. could you pls elaborate, how to 1) remove nouveau, 2) using nvidia driver?

[Broam]

You'd have some luck here on the Ubuntu wiki - help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia In later versions of Ubuntu the drivers are a package in Restricted. In 19.04 you can specify them to be installed at install time. I don't have any Nvidia hardware so I'm a bit at a loss, sorry. I've had such problems with the hardware that I stopped buying them.
