Fix also stopped working for me. Frustrating. @chanh2018 what do these changes do?

To preserve video memory for NVIDIA. It works for me.

After a completely new install of Ubuntu, which was needed as my NVME SSD WD 750 1TB completely died suddenly, I reinstalled 24.04 on a new Samsung 780 1TB. Most worked smoothly except the Suspend. Resume gave me a black screen with

DMAR: DRHD: handling fault status reg 2
DMAR: [INTR-REMAP]  REquest device [fo:1f.0] fault index 0x0 [fault reason 0x25] Blocked compatibility format interrupt request

I just tried the following from @chanh2018 and I just got my first successful resume. 😀

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers-kms.conf

and add these lines into it:

options nvidia-drm fbdev=1
options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1
options nvidia NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp

Note: the error messages still appear quickly on screen, but the system no longer hangs after that...

I also have Mint 22 based on ubuntu 24.04 and had the same problem. This solved the problem for me:

Any news on this? Recently my new Working Notebook with dedicated nvidia gpu worked fine (with Ubuntu 23.04 and proprietary nvidia drivers). But after some update of Kernel and/or nvidia drivers my Notebook didn't wake-up from sleep mode. It's still available by SSH! But monitors keep off/no-signal whatever I do.

It totally sucks as I have to reboot (REISUB-Reboot) my Workstation nearly every morning and every morning I'm praying monitors won''t keep blank giving me the chance just to start working.

Any solution that works? I've tried nearly everything and now I'm even trying to totally disable sleep/hibernate/standby stuff.

Btw. I have linux-kernel 6.8.0-101041(-tuxedo) and (ubuntu/dpkg) nvidia drivers 560.

apparently fix is going to be available in upcoming 565 linux driver release. NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules#662 (comment)

I can confirm this also fixes the resume from suspend problem for me:
Ubuntu 24.04, Nvidia Quadro M2000M, with the latest nvidia driver 560 and it works also on wayland

thank you @chanh2018!

For info. I'm on nvidia driver version 555.58.02

After a lot of trial, error and luck, I commented out the fbdev=1 line in the /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers-kms.conf file and resume started to work again. Oh and don't forget to sudo update-initramfs -u and reboot first of course......

options nvidia-drm modeset=1
#options nvidia-drm fbdev=1
options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1
options nvidia NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp

it worked on Ubuntu 24.04 but broke again on 24.10 :-(

what fixed it for me again - for now - was

  • Switching to the Nouveau driver in "Software & Updates" > Additional drivers
  • and then purge all nvidia packages... sudo apt --purge remove "*nvidia*"

This is my current setting and it's working for me (Linux Mint 22, Nvidia GeForce GTX 745 using Nvidia 550.107.02 driver)

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers-kms.conf

and add these lines into it:

options nvidia-drm fbdev=1 options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 options nvidia NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp

Thanks!

Configuration: NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 3050 Laptop GPU | Fedora 41 | Kernel GNU/Linux 6.11.7-300

As I've tried many things, I had to do a cleanup first.
sudo dnf remove \*nvidia\* --exclude nvidia-gpu-firmware

Check if the nouveau driver is disabled.. Follow up the section 2.6.

Install the nvidia drivers from RPM repository.
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia

Remove nvidia sleep service.
sudo rm /lib/systemd/system-sleep/nvidia

For what I've been experienced, I think that what causes the problem is the "integration of all" and the nvidia sleep service.

Okay, clearing things up the issue has been resolved:

  1. Either use LTS kernel (6.6) or 6.12rc.
  2. Make sure to enable nvidia-suspend, nvidia-resume and nvidia-hibernate systemd services.
  3. Make sure you have fbdev and NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 (and /var/tmp path etc)
  4. Use nvidia open dkms 565 drivers.

As a side note, mind that a GNOME extension or another program may interfere with suspend by failing to release the /dev/nvidia handle (you will see wait requests sent by the driver to the shell in the logs). In my case it was the Vitals GNOME extension. Once I removed it, Ubuntu 24.04.1 suspends and resumes without any issues.
