echo "options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=${TMP_PATH}" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-power-management.conf

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!
