It’s not a true hibernation state hence my statement “Fast boot is a bastardized version of hibernation”.

It’s a hybrid sleep/hibernate system that causes more problems than it should.

Not all hardware works with it, it causes problems with updates and some software does not play nicely with it.

I know of a number of business IT departments that disable it company wide as it is a considerable source of problems.

If you are dual booting make sure that windows fast boot is disabled.

Fast boot is a bastardized version of hibernation which can keep hardware “in use” by windows if any other OS tries to use the hardware.

One of the common issues is ethernet & wifi not working or not connecting.

The issues with Nvidia GPU’s has been blown up way to much in the last few years in my opinion.

The potential problems you “might” face are:

• Not backing up your system before updating
• Using too old or too new a kernel version (Older versions may break or cause issue with newer drivers and bleeding edge kernels may introduce issues that weren’t caught during QA) * Always have a LTS kernel installed as well as a newer supported kernel
• Using brand new hardware too soon (aka don’t expect a newly released card to work perfectly day one)
• Trying to use GPU’s in edge case uses or pushing the envelope without knowing what you are doing
• Not backing up your system
• Trying to use the wrong kind of card for your needs (A Quadro card isn’t going to work well as a RTX card)
• Not updating your system (Nvidia drivers get regular updates)

For most major distros now a days you either select the Nvidia option when installing (like Manjaro) or install the drivers afterwards (Ubuntu based) and be off to the races.

Set up and use Timeshift, make a backup before installing updates and you can roll back if there is an issue.

Have you done “sudo sensors-detect”?

It’s called “OEM install”.

Ubuntu based distros should have it.

Of course it would be a Nvidia driver issue.

Thought about getting a AMD card but as I had only had one major issue with my previous 1070 (that was fixed by reloading my Timeshift snapshot then not upgrading the driver until the next version) so I thought that I would continue with Nvidia.

Eh, I can’t change it for now but at least I know what is causing it and can work around it.

Thanks for the assist.

Just made a reply to Björn Tantau.

Here is what I started with:

And what I have today after 3 suspends:

XFCE

Will check after work today.

I like WiFi access points as they require no special configuration on the computer, can be placed where they get the best signal, due to their larger antennas they get better reception and they often have several LAN ports allowing multiple devices to be connected to it.

If you still want to use a USB or PCIE WiFi then you are best served by looking for a card with intel chip sets as their drivers are included in the Linux kernel so they are often plug and play.

Three things,

• Have you tried using a newer kernel?
• You should be able to use a USB tethering to use your phone for internet.
• I really despise USB & PCIE WiFi adapters as they cause so many issues. If your computer has an ethernet port then you are better off getting an WiFi access point that has Wi-Fi bridge mode, you can connect your computer to it using an ethernet cable then connect the access point to the WiFi. Your computer only sees the ethernet connection so no additional drivers, settings or futzing around needed.

I have had the issue of having to enter a password to access an additional drive on my Manjaro PC.

I was pointed to this as a possible solution and it worked for me.

It may or may not work for you though.
