Pop! os does not restart properly after freezing
by MeinzBeur from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5AP5B)
Hei everyone,
I posted this issue on the forum of pop os few weeks ago but never got any answer. So I am trying my chance here.
So, sometimes when I play a game a bit demanding for my computer it will freeze. I guess it has something to do with the RAM. That thing is annoying but OK, I need to accept that my laptop isn't completely new anymore :)
The main problem comes after, when switching off and on the laptop by pressing the ON/OFF button, it does not work. More specifically, it starts, but it will stay stuck at the last black screen before the logging in screen. The solution I found is to start Pop os using the dongle, power off from the menu, remove the dongle, restart. Then it works... But it isn't very convenient.
I do not really know where I should look... I can say that when I used ubuntu before I did not have this issue after freezing. Also, I realised that since I installed pop os 20.10 it freezes too when I drag a file from the desktop to an open folder (Topic for another thread?). That means I can test any solution you give me with that (cause otherwise I would have to wait that it randomly freezes in a game).
I run pop os 20.10 (but had the same problem with 20.04) on a ACER aspire V nitro. Intel Core i7 and a GeForce GTX 960M graphic card.
Thanks a lot for your help.
