Desktop PC Nvidia suspend issue

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware
1

Need some help. The issue I am facing is I have a desktop PC with i5 12th gen and Nvidia 3050. When I sleep the PC it doesn’t wake up properly. The PC turns on but the display is not. It seems as if there is no output from GPU as the display is still in suspend mode.
I have nvidia-hibernate, nvidia-suspend, nvidia-resume services enabled.

I have added nvidia modules to mkinitcpio.conf
nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm

also added a modprobe file based on some suggestions in nvidia forum

cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kms.conf 
options nvidia_drm modeset=1

Please guide me on what am I missing.

Not sure if you need all those things set up on nvidia. Looks like drivers are installed. Did you try setting these?

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

reboot

Was it there from first installation or is it new and if so, which related packages were recently upgraded?

It may be a new bug…

4

yeah, i have those enabled

5

Yes, I have all the latest packages, updated just today morning.

6

This wasn’t my question, though.
How old is your installation and when the issue started happening?

7

Its a new machine and just 2 weeks old installation. The sleep, hibernate is not working from day 1.

8

Note: You can post answers in the same post and also can edit an old post, if you need to make it better.

You still answer only one question…

I would blame nvidia.
You can never be wrong doing it :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

11

should I try lts kernel?

12

hmm that didn’t help either

13

Did you install it with swap and hibernation options?

14

As I have two storage drives, a nvme and a SSD(home drive) I did a custom install and created a swap as big as the ram which is 32gb

15

Maybe this helps you.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_management/Suspend_and_hibernate

16

tried almost all the suggestions there, and enabled Nvidia systems services. mkinitcpio config addition …

17

That could also mean your solution is in one of the rest, not tried :laughing:

Nevertheless, this topic might give you more ideas to try:

18

Maybe you could try this:

  • mkdir /tmp-nvidia
  • create/edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-power-management.conf
  • insert into that file the line options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/tmp-nvidia

This makes the NVIDIA driver preserve video memory when suspending/hibernating.

If you use suspend-then-hibernate you’ll need more tweaks, but if you’re on desktop I guess you don’t need it.

19

so that didn’t work. No did the suggestion here https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/systemds-suspend-then-hibernate-not-working-in-nvidia-optimus-laptop/213690.

➜  ~ cat /lib/systemd/system-sleep/nvidia

        /usr/bin/nvidia-sleep.sh "resume"

It’s so weird, suspend resume works better on my Lenovo laptop than on my custom desktop. Both have Nvidia graphic cards. I wonder why. Anyways may have to move back to windows, cant keep closing and opening apps.

Thanks for the help guys

They are totally different HW!!!
And suspend/sleep/hibernate is focused on laptops for battery saving, which is not a real issue on desktops, apart for global energy consumption, global warming, etc.

Both have Nvidia graphic cards

The system is working fine. Only the monitor is black.
Which GPU/port is the monitor connected on?
Have you read MB manual?
Did you try connecting the monitor to the other GPU?

Naahh! Just use WinOS… :rofl: It suits better to your workflow!
