I'm losing my mind and time with this problem on

• Fedora 42 kernel 6.14.5-300.fc42.x86_64
• 570.144 drivers.

I found solution for my system, tested with nvidia driver 570.153.02.
To get suspend/hibernation working correctly i had to change my kernel version to 6.13.7 and set NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware to 0 for nvidia kernel module.
With other kernel versions(i tested 6.12.29 lts and mainline 6.14.6) i get a black screen when trying to resume from suspend/hibernate¹.

Here is modprobe.d config for nvidia module(/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf):

options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1
options nvidia NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp
options nvidia NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0

Enabled nvidia systemd services:

sudo systemctl enable nvidia-hibernate
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-suspend
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-resume

My system:

• Lenovo Legion R7000 AHP9
• AMD Ryzen 7 8745H
• 32 GB ram
• Video: Nvidia RTX 4050(dGPU) + AMD Radeon 780M(iGPU)
• OS: Fedora 41, KDE 6.3.5 with Kwin wayland session
• Nvidia driver version: 570.153.02

Footnotes

1. As workaround I found that with magic SysRq request for SIGTERM to all processes, i can bypass/kill hanged nvidia(?) scripts. Keyboard shortcut: Alt+SysRq(PrtSc)+e ↩

FYI, there's a new systemd service for newer nvidia driver versions. So if someone uses suspend-then-hibernate on their system, you might need to enable that too for nvidia:

sudo systemctl enable nvidia-suspend-then-hibernate.service
