Public bug reported: The problem and a workaround is well described here: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/ubuntu-20-04-no-signal-after- monitor-sleep-or-monitor-turned-off/180056
My laptop is connected to an external monitor (Dell) via HDMI. When the laptop is left idle for some time, the screen goes black and the monitor reports "no signal". When I press a keyboard button or move the mouse, the laptop screen comes on...but the monitor still receives no signal. Workaround 1 is to unplug and replug the HDMI cable. Workaround 2 is to press ctrl-alt-F3 to get into a text-based console, and then ctrl-alt-F1 or F2 to get back to graphical mode My laptop has Intel GPU, not Nvidia, so this seems to be a problem with Ubuntu.
