Same system running:
GeForce GTX 970
HDMI 2.0
Samsung Curved 40" 4k (JU6700)
Fedora 23
Nvidia Driver Version: 358.16
I installed KDE via dnf groupinstall kde-desktop-environment to test out the new plasma alongside Gnome. In KDE I can successfully wake up the Television via keyboard and mouse. Weird.
(I’m subscribing to all those threads, and this one, in case someone finds an answer.)
With Samsung TVs, some people report that disabling “Samsung Instant On” (Menu > System > General) helps. It doesn’t help for me (or a friend with the same problem) – also I believe @sgtnoodle is using a Sony TV, so it doesn’t seem TV-specific.
Some people report that a different HDMI cable helps. It doesn’t help for me (tried several highly rated cables, all have rock-solid picture, all suffer from no-signal-after-TV-power-cycle problem).
Dropping down to 4K@30Hz fixes the problem, but that’s unacceptable of course.
This seems to happen on Linux and Windows. Some people report that downgrading to an older driver version (e.g. Windows 361.43) helps. I need to try that. (Interesting that someone in this thread found the issue was fixed with Windows 361.91.)
I personally went as far as to get an HDFury so I could mess with EDID settings or control when hot-plug occurs, it’s a fun gizmo but doesn’t seem to affect this problem.
I can confirm that the Club3D active DP->HDMI adapters fixes the lost signal while switching inputs.
However, turning off the TV and turning it back on again still results in a lost signal. Switching the input away from the NVIDIA card and back will restore it.
It’s not a complete workaround, but at least I don’t have to reboot my installations.
The new 364 driver as far as I can tell made everything even worse.
isopede, that is interesting. This still does not help us that are using straight HDMI 2.0. Any one else have any more luck? This is still happening on KDE. I mentioned above that it fixed it, but it was just more sporadic.
