Black screen and cursor instead of screen off

[Cyvain87]

I am hoping to get some help with a laptop I am having a baffling issue with. Instead of the screen turning off when inactive like it had been doing it is going to a black screen with just the cursor visible now. Even after reinstalling and using time shift to restore the os it is doing the same thing. What could be causing this?

Relevant Info:

The laptop is running gnome manjaro, it is on kernel 4.19.34-1.

If anything else is needed to solve this issue I am happy to provide it.

I don't think this topic is relevant anymore. Since a reinstall everything has been behaving fine although I believe we are not using multiple kernels on that machine anymore so I'm not sure if that was affecting it.

Yes, best practice is to give some information as described here

How to provide good information in your posts

When asking questions in the forum, it would be most helpful to all members if you provide some basic information. When you provide info from the terminal, usually from your logs, you have to format it so the content is easy to read. First copy and paste your text/terminal/code into the post Then select the text/code and click the post edit toolbar button </> . Another handy way is to use 3 backticks ` at the start and 3 more at the end of the text like this: ``` Paste text or code here …

so nobody has to think to ask the good questions.
Also, i see you had another help requests ... try to focus on one till is solved then focus on the other one.
