Nvidia GPU not waking from suspend on F41 KDE Wayland

[indoorjetpacks (Martin Bayang)]

Hihi. I’m encountering an issue that seems to be fairly common with fedora 41, that the screen connected via HDMI will not wake from sleep after inactivity-based sleep/suspend, using an Nvidia GPU using RPM Fusion drivers.
I have followed the RPM Fusion guide here, as well as the section on suspend and followed those instructions, excluding the optional NVreg_TemporaryFilePath step.
I have searched the forums for similar topics, and found these posts:

HDMI Screen doesn't wake up after automatic screen off. Nvidia Wayland (Fedora 41 KDE)

I just installed Fedora KDE 41 today (I did not have this issue on Kubuntu 24.10). I came back to my computer, tried to wake it up, and then the screen that I had connected with HDMI. I realized that I had Nouveau and not the proprietary driver running so I tried installing it, restarting, and it was still black. I connected it to a laptop running windows and it was still black. The screen only came back when I changed the color profile in the monitor. I don’t have this issue when I run kscreen-…

Fedora 41 + KDE + NVidia = not working after suspend

My laptop is a 2021 ASUS TUF Gaming F15, it has an AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics (16 CPUs) + NVidia GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU. I like Linux, I really like how Fedora installs and works, but I want to use it as my main system since the programs I use at work are also available in both Windows and Linux. But I’ve had a few issues, my laptop has an integrated Nvidia graphics card and I specifically want to use Fedora with KDE because it fits my workflow perfectly. I started trying to …

F41 nvidia drivers from RPM Fusion stuck on blank screen

I checked with the supported cards and my card seems to be considered a current gen device, so I expected the driver to work ine I haven’t taken any additional steps beyond what was outlined in the RPM Fusion guide. How would I disable the nouveau drivers? My /etc/default/grub contains these GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX args rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau So I expected that the be sufficient for blacklisting, right? At least that is the line I manually remove when booting bac…

The third one is only somewhat relevant - their system appears to not boot, but mine does fine and is only problematic on resume from inactivity suspend.

I am currently accessing it through ssh on another device. here is relevant system info, based on those posts, excluding kscreen-doctor which I could not find a man page for on my system (I don’t run commands blindly before reading the man page):

Here are the troubleshooting/confirmation steps I’ve tried, based on those posts (as well as some others that either were dead posts, or had other resolutions the OP discovered)

1. Confirm nvidia services enabled:

2. Confirm grub configuration appears to be correct:

$ cat /etc/kernel/cmdline
root=UUID=48bc6bd9-c448-47fc-a147-b321f70e350b ro resume=UUID=929a25d8-afbe-4ff1-b3f0-67f47babd607 rhgb quiet rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau
[indoorjetpacks@skywalker ~]$ cat /etc/default/grub
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="resume=UUID=929a25d8-afbe-4ff1-b3f0-67f47babd607 rhgb quiet rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=true

3. Confirm video memory allocation kernel module param is set, info found on arch wiki here

cat /proc/driver/nvidia/params | sort | grep -iE 'memory'
DynamicPowerManagementVideoMemoryThreshold: 200
InitializeSystemMemoryAllocations: 1
MemoryPoolSize: 0
PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations: 1
S0ixPowerManagementVideoMemoryThreshold: 256

4. Confirm sleep is not set to s2idle which has been known to cause issues in the past:

$ cat /sys/power/mem_sleep
s2idle [deep]

I can also provide any journalctl logs, etc if needed if you point me where to look/what to run (still learning what logs to where, etc)

[indoorjetpacks (Martin Bayang)]

Some additional things, and possibly to help others find this in the future (future users that may not know, go ‘back’ a level at that url to find your driver, i.e. https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/):

Appendix L. Wayland Known Issues

There is no established public API through which Wayland compositors can power off video memory via RTD3 (Chapter 22, PCI-Express Runtime D3 (RTD3) Power Management).

and following that link finds:

Option “NVreg_DynamicPowerManagement=0x03”
This is the default setting. For desktop computers, irrespective of the GPU(s) used, this value disables runtime D3 power management features.

which can be confirmed via searching the params:

$cat /proc/driver/nvidia/params | sort | grep -iE 'Power'
DynamicPowerManagement: 3
DynamicPowerManagementVideoMemoryThreshold: 200
EnableS0ixPowerManagement: 0
S0ixPowerManagementVideoMemoryThreshold: 256
