Any news on this? Recently my new Working Notebook with dedicated nvidia gpu worked fine (with Ubuntu 23.04 and proprietary nvidia drivers). But after some update of Kernel and/or nvidia drivers my Notebook didn't wake-up from sleep mode. It's still available by SSH! But monitors keep off/no-signal whatever I do.

It totally sucks as I have to reboot (REISUB-Reboot) my Workstation nearly every morning and every morning I'm praying monitors won''t keep blank giving me the chance just to start working.

Any solution that works? I've tried nearly everything and now I'm even trying to totally disable sleep/hibernate/standby stuff.

Btw. I have linux-kernel 6.8.0-101041(-tuxedo) and (ubuntu/dpkg) nvidia drivers 560.

apparently fix is going to be available in upcoming 565 linux driver release. NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules#662 (comment)

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers-kms.conf

and add these lines into it:

options nvidia-drm fbdev=1 options
nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1
options nvidia NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp

I can confirm this also fixes the resume from suspend problem for me:
Ubuntu 24.04, Nvidia Quadro M2000M, with the latest nvidia driver 560 and it works also on wayland

thank you @chanh2018!

For info. I'm on nvidia driver version 555.58.02

After a lot of trial, error and luck, I commented out the fbdev=1 line in the /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers-kms.conf file and resume started to work again. Oh and don't forget to sudo update-initramfs -u and reboot first of course......

options nvidia-drm modeset=1
#options nvidia-drm fbdev=1
options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1
options nvidia NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp

I can confirm this also fixes the resume from suspend problem for me: Ubuntu 24.04, Nvidia Quadro M2000M, with the latest nvidia driver 560 and it works also on wayland

thank you @chanh2018!

it worked on Ubuntu 24.04 but broke again on 24.10 :-(

what fixed it for me again - for now - was

• Switching to the Nouveau driver in "Software & Updates" > Additional drivers
• and then purge all nvidia packages... sudo apt --purge remove "*nvidia*"

This is my current setting and it's working for me (Linux Mint 22, Nvidia GeForce GTX 745 using Nvidia 550.107.02 driver)

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers-kms.conf

and add these lines into it:

options nvidia-drm fbdev=1 options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 options nvidia NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp

Thanks!
