Failed wakeup: dim screen breaks auto suspend - Fedora 41, kernel 6.13.5

About 3 months ago I noticed a problem that I can’t wake up my laptop. Probably it caused by installing Nvidia drivers from RPM Fusion:

  • akmod-nvidia
  • xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda

I removed these packages, but it seems to have no effect on the problem.

Solved!
Eventually I found out that it was not enough to just uninstall those particular packages. I had to uninstall all the Nvidia packages:

sudo dnf remove akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda 'nvidia*'

This solved the problem. But I would appreciate and test any suggestions, ideas how this problem could be tackled without removing these packages.

I’ve done several different experiments, and it turns out that the problem only occurs when a laptop with a dimmed screen is supposed to automatically suspend (after 15 minutes of inactivity).

  • If I directly click the “Suspend” option in the “Power Off” menu, it goes into suspend mode and can be woken up as usual without any problems.
  • If the Dim Screen option is turned off, the laptop goes into automatic suspend mode and could also be woken up as usual without any problems.
  • If I move the mouse or type on the keyboard when the screen is already off, but before it goes to suspend mode, the system also works normally. This might be obvious, but I had to mention it.

When my laptop goes into suspended mode (normally), its cooling fans stop working, and the power button changes from solid to blinking.

If the screen is dimmed and 30 seconds remain before the laptop goes into suspend mode, the cooling fans will start up and run more loudly. This will continue until I turn the laptop off. During this time, the power button also keeps the light on.
