echo "options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=${TMP_PATH}" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-power-management.conf

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 ↩

Update: after upgrading nvidia driver to 575.64 and linux to 6.14.11, hibernation works correctly.
But have issues with video playback in chromium(page content freezes when starting video playback). Nvidia :)

It works for me. I got Ubuntu 24.04 and nvidia driver Version: 575.57.08.

The original status was:

$ systemctl list-unit-files | grep nvidia
nvidia-hibernate.service                       disabled        enabled
nvidia-persistenced.service                    enabled         enabled
nvidia-powerd.service                          disabled        enabled
nvidia-resume.service                          disabled        enabled
nvidia-suspend-then-hibernate.service          disabled        enabled
nvidia-suspend.service                         disabled        enabled

I ran the following command:

$ sudo systemctl enable nvidia-suspend.service
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-hibernate.service
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-resume.service
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/systemd-suspend.service.wants/nvidia-suspend.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/nvidia-suspend.service.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/systemd-hibernate.service.wants/nvidia-hibernate.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/nvidia-hibernate.service.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/systemd-suspend.service.wants/nvidia-resume.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/nvidia-resume.service.

Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/systemd-suspend-then-hibernate.service.wants/nvidia-resume.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/nvidia-resume.service.

And then the problem is fixed. It does not wake up immediately after suspending any more:

$ systemctl list-unit-files | grep nvidia
nvidia-hibernate.service                       enabled         enabled
nvidia-persistenced.service                    enabled         enabled
nvidia-powerd.service                          disabled        enabled
nvidia-resume.service                          enabled         enabled
nvidia-suspend-then-hibernate.service          disabled        enabled
nvidia-suspend.service                         enabled         enabled

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

This fixed my issues! Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS, Driver Version: 580.82.07, CUDA Version: 12.8

Initial tests, this works for me on Mint 22.2, Driver Version: 580.105.08 to get suspend working:
systemctl enable nvidia-suspend.service
systemctl enable nvidia-hibernate.service
systemctl enable nvidia-resume.service

my /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers-kms.conf:
options nvidia-drm modeset=1
options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=0
options nvidia NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp

Fedora 43 Workstation
ThinkPad P16s Gen 2
6.18.6-200.fc43.x86_64
GNOME 49.3
GPU 1: NVIDIA RTX A500 Laptop GPU
GPU 2: Intel Iris Xe Graphics @ 1.50GHz [Integrated]

/etc/modeprobe.d/nvidia.conf:

# Disable Nvidia modesetting for hyprid graphics
options nvidia-drm modeset=0

# Enable dynamic power management
options nvidia NVreg_DynamicPowerManagement=0x02

# Disable GSP firmware (can cause issues on some laptops)
options nvidia NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0

# Preserve video memory allocations across suspend/resume
options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1

# Disable S0ix power management
options nvidia NVreg_EnableS0ixPowerManagement=0

I tried the systemctl enable nvidia commands but this never fixed my problem.

What worked for me was disabling USB and THunderbolt wake:

# Disable XHCI (USB)
echo XHCI | sudo tee /proc/acpi/wakeup

# Disable TXHC (Thunderbolt)
echo TXHC | sudo tee /proc/acpi/wakeup

# Verify both are disabled
cat /proc/acpi/wakeup | grep -E "XHCI|TXHC"

Both should be *disabled - I have to use my laptop keyboard/trackpad to resume but I am fine with that so keep it in mind if you are not using a laptop.

I think that something was sending wake signals hence why I disabled those.

To make it permanent create a service for it:

/etc/systemd/system/disable-usb-wakeup.service:

[Unit]
Description=Disable USB wakeup to prevent spurious wake events
After=multi-user.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'echo XHCI > /proc/acpi/wakeup; echo TXHC > /proc/acpi/wakeup'

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

sudo systemctl enable disable-usb-wakeup.service
sudo systemctl start disable-usb-wakeup.service
