Re: NVIDIA Driver Won't Let My Computer Wake Up
New news! I can now hibernate just by touching the power button. (And it even wakes up properly.)
But it's even better than that. I have a cable coming out the back of my computer, leading to a pushbutton, that's paralleled across my power button proper. So I can boot up AND hibernate just by pushing the external button (which is easier to get to than the power button itself). How nice!
I still don't know about those samples and the brightness control. (I'm tempted to quit while I'm ahead.) I can always go back to wearing sunglasses.
Thanks to Steve and cfb.

Re: NVIDIA Driver Won't Let My Computer Wake Up
I'm marking this thread PARTLY SOLVED because I can hibernate and wake up with no problems now, but I'm supposed to download the "samples" which I can't figure out to do.
If anyone can tell me how to download the samples, or at least tell me what they're for, please tell me.

A good mocking usually serves the purpose. I'm hoping that post was actually being sarcastic.stevepusser wrote:Too bad these forums don't have any way to rate or downvote a post...stivencox wrote:If I have any problem with PC I always re-install OS. It solves everything usually

Re: [PARTLY SOLVED] NVIDIA Driver Won't Let My Computer Wake
I would guess that the CUDA samples are tests to see if CUDA is working.
Does this brightness-control thingamajig work for you?

It just has a few simple python and x11 dependencies, so should install fine in Stretch from the deb:

No. The only way to reduce the brightness is to wear sunglasses (no joke -- I'm wearing sunglasses now).
But do I need the samples? According to the wiki, I'm supposed to download the samples and test that they're present by adjusting the brightness.
Or should I just give up and call it finished?
