Hi, I don't know if that's correct because in Ubuntu 18.10 I had no issue, I will provide more information once I'll get on my PC

[Dawn Minion (ravenswurk)]

Daniel, I don't believe this bug report is a duplicate of the bug you mentioned. After upgrading from 18.10 to 19.04, I see the same issue where I have my expected background when I login, and after I resume from sleep my background is a solid white or black colour. I cannot change the background if I try via the settings menu.

I do not experience any of the graphical issues mentioned in the bug you linked. The desktop, browser and applications are totally normal apart from not having the background I set for my lock screen and desktop.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

In that case we should just generalize bug 1809407. Because it's a pretty consistent problem I see reported from multiple Nvidia users.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Tjeremiah (tjeremiah15)]

I too am having this problem using Nvidia GPU 960. Changing driver version gives the same results after resuming from suspend.

[Botond (bbotond)]

I have this problem, too. Nvidia GeForce 840M, latest driver installed.

[Giuseppe Superbo (otram)]

Same problem here. Nvidia GeForce 920MX, latest driver installed.

[Sarmad Abdullah (sarmadka-f)]

Same here. GTX 980m. nvidia version 418.56

[Jonas Canton (jcant)]

Same problem. Any solution to this?

[Jonas Canton (jcant)]

GPU: Nvidia MX150.

[gen nakata (talamown)]

Same problem. GTX 1060 with 430.09.

From 19.04. nothing wrong when 18.10

[JOSEPH BLESSINGH (josephb99)]

I'm with Nvidia GTX 1050 along with Ubuntu 19.04. Same problem on my side too. The desktop goes either blank or as if a Broken TV with white and black dots except for a static picture of the white and black dots.

same problem, Nividia graphics card

[Malte Deiseroth (deisi)]

I also have nvidia-430 and am affected by this bug. However judging from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1576859 this is sadly just one more bug on the pile of wont-fix.

Persistence Mode is the term for a user-settable driver property that keeps a target GPU initialized even when no clients are connected to it.
