Solved Displays go dark - Keyboard and Mouse don't do anything

[tinfoil-hat]

Hi, I mostly let my PC running 24/7, but now when I let my PC running for ~24h my Displays go dark and my Mouse and Keyboard don't do anything. no CTRL+ALT+Del. No CTRL+ALT+{F1, F2, F3, F4, ...}. My PowerLED on my desktop is running also the Keyboard and Mouse LEDs are on. That's very unusual with my system, I mostly let it run for about 30 days and then reboot because of the updates. The only thing that helps me, is pushing the "Reset Button".
My OS is LMDE6
I don't really know what information you need, just tell me and I'll provide it for you

Any Help Appreciated, greetings

Maybe a sleep/hibernation issue? You can disable those and just blank the screen easily enough.

How To: Disable Sleep And Hibernation on Ubuntu Server • Linux Tips

For some reason, Ubuntu Server comes with 'power management' enabled. This is an article that tells you how to disable sleep and hibernation in Ubuntu Server.

That's for Ubuntu's server edition but should be the same in LMDE6.

Thanks, I followed that. But what wonders me is that I have this installation since sebtember last year, and going to hybernate is a new thing. How could that setting have been activated?

It could be that a recent update has borked things, which was what I was thinking it might be.

It's also good to eliminate those as potential problems.

How would I go about that?

If "going dark" means that the screen shows nothing, not even a cursor up in the top left hand corner, then a machine here had that problem and the issue was the graphics card. After it happened a few times, the graphics card was changed and the problem disappeared. YMMV.

let's pray this stable diffusion didn't fry my graphics card. And no, I had no curser or anything

How would I go about that?

By disabling them - which you should have just done.

The process is easily reversed if it doesn't help.

I did, let's cross fingers it was that, what the problem was

To avoid confusion, I'd not take any additional steps until after you've left your devices alone and running for a while. I'd not try other fixes until we know if this had any impact. That'll avoid confusion.

I thought it might. Also, modern computers are really low power when they sit idle. It's not quite the same as sleep or hibernate, but it's just going to trickle power.
