Errors during suspend with nvidia randomly

My system suspends properly most of the time but sometimes(randomly) it fails with this logs on black screen

it says
System Power Management attempted without driver procfs suspend interface.

but I can confirm that nvidia-suspend, nvidia-resume …etc services are all enabled.

this errors only occurs randomly, most times the system suspends properly, and when it happens the only thing I can do is to force poweroff the system.

also sometimes(I’g related to the same issue) system just hangs for a long time with blank screen, when I click on switch user option to move to a different user. sometime it comes back and other time I just force poweroff the system and restart again.

I am using nvidia rtx3050 laptop gpu

Hello everyone,
Had this problem for a long time: on my Dell G3 3590 with GTX 1660Ti Max-Q, the system would go to suspend as usual but wake up unreliably with the same symptoms you have and failing to wake up the discrete NVIDIA GPU (nvidia-smi threw an error) when waking up successfully, even with the latest driver and kernel.

A good starting point might be checking what sleep mode your system is using:

cat /sys/power/mem_sleep

If it’s s2idle (it will be shown in square brackets), the solution might be to switch from s2idle to deep sleep as per this for the time being (see the note at the end).

In my case, booting with kernel parameter mem_sleep_default=deep made the system wake up much more reliably and even faster than it used to in the s2idle mode. Occasionally, it may wake up to a blank screen, but it goes away after switching to vconsole and back.

Hope that works for you, too :blush:
