Looking for advice on what I suspect is a driver issue with Zorin Linux.

For a few months, I've had issues with suspend, where the computer will wake, but the screen remains black. This happens both when the computer suspends on its own and when I suspend it manually.

Worse, when I force reboot the computer:

1. only one of my monitors lights up
2. my keyboard is unresponsive.
3. Mouse still works.
4. Internet also dies.

Both monitors are connected to an Nvidia GTX 1070 GPU. The keyboard and mouse are connected via USB.

What I've tired

• I've used the Accessibility Keyboard (screen keyboard) to log in after a restart and revert to a previous state using Timeshift. This will get the keyboard, Internet and screen to work, but the moment I suspend, the problem returns.

• I did notice this issue started once I updated my GPU drivers to Nvidia ones (I've tried a couple).

I tried reverting to the Nouveau driver, but the problem returned.

I should probably note that when I orginally tried to install Zorin with Nvidia drivers, the install failed.

Advice

I'm looking for ideas on how to proceed.

At this point, I could start over completely with a fresh install of Zorin.

I could revert to the earliest Timeshift image I have, which would put me back to a fresh install.

I could abandon Zorin for another distro.

Thanks!

This one can come across as an promo for Sheehan’s New Paradigm Institute but he drops some stuff that will raise eyebrows…even among people familiar with the topic. Among them: He suggests there is a film of an interview with a NHI being that could come out once we are much further into Disclosure. He also gets into the NPI’s plans to pressure Congress to strengthen the disclosure act that was recently watered down, including political campaigns to pressure holdouts.

You can skip the first quarter if you’re already familiar with Sheehan’s background.

John Michael Godier has a preview of this week’s Event Horizon which looks at the mystery of anomalous stars in astronomical pictures from the 1950s, before Sputnik. In fact one of these images occurred the same day of the 1952 Washington DC UFO event.

A good synopsis about the internal struggle with the government. Kelleher also discusses the mounting evidence the the phenomenon intentionally uses deception to confound researchers. There’s also a discussion around the phenomenon’s ability to alter human perception and how biological evidence like DNA may not be very helpful.

Speaking together on the Senate floor, the two co-sponsors of the disclosure act celebrated their partial victory and reiterated their determination to see the Presidential Review Board established eventually.

A one hour special on Aussie TV.

Of note in this report is the suggestion that someone has spoken with the two Republicans opposing disclosure. And it’s hinted that they were warned that failure to support controlled disclosure would result in ‘catastrophic’ disclosure…which I take to mean, runaway disclosure.

My mind turns to something mentioned here a few months ago from Ross Coulthart: that a certain too-large-to-move crashed object, residing in a place outside US control might get revealed if progress is not made.

This was on the front page. Hopefully the beginning of a trend at WaPo.
