For me, with nvidia-driver-495, the simple solution was to remove the damaged symlinks from systemd. You most likely have them if you upgraded from nvidia-driver-470, because 470 still included the .service files in /lib/systemd/system/. The files are no longer included in 495 but the postinst script does not remove the symlinks. So, remove them with:
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/systemd-hibernate.service.requires/nvidia-resume.service sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/systemd-hibernate.service.requires/nvidia-hibernate.service sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/systemd-suspend.service.requires/nvidia-resume.service sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/systemd-suspend.service.requires/nvidia-suspend.serviceWorks instantly, no need of rebooting or logging off.
This does the job. Thank you.
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/systemd-hibernate.service.requires/nvidia-resume.service sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/systemd-hibernate.service.requires/nvidia-hibernate.service sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/systemd-suspend.service.requires/nvidia-resume.service sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/systemd-suspend.service.requires/nvidia-suspend.service
Thank you, This worked in my case.
The method works. In case you need fresh files install the services, you can get your driver version from NVIDIA. Use nvidia-smi to get the exact version and then run the .run file with --extract-only flag: sudo bash NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-515.65.01.run --extract-only.
Then you run the given commands setting the TMPL_PATH to the path where you've extracted the files. Keep in mind that the files for this driver (515.65.01) have a slightly different locations as stated in the original post. So the updated commands should be like this:
TMPL_PATH=/home/user/Downloads/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-515.65.01/systemd
sudo install --mode 644 "${TMPL_PATH}/system/nvidia-suspend.service" /etc/systemd/system
sudo install --mode 644 "${TMPL_PATH}/system/nvidia-hibernate.service" /etc/systemd/system
sudo install --mode 644 "${TMPL_PATH}/system/nvidia-resume.service" /etc/systemd/system
sudo install "${TMPL_PATH}/system-sleep/nvidia" /lib/systemd/system-sleep
sudo install "${TMPL_PATH}/nvidia-sleep.sh" /usr/bin
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-suspend.service
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-hibernate.service
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-resume.service
worked for me. Thank you very much.
