[SOLVED?] NVIDIA driver seems to prevent suspending on laptop

Hello everyone,

I have this issues for 1-2 weeks now, that I am unable to get my laptop to suspend properly. Whenever I try to suspend (closing the lid, letting the laptop sit for a while or "loginctl suspend"), the screen just turns black, but the system keeps running. In the case of manually running "loginctl suspend", it goes to a TTY-screen for a brief moment, and ends up showing the SDDM locked user screen, but it never reaches sleep mode. This is obviously an issue for an portable device, as it drains the battery with zero usage.
I didn't get too far with narrowing down the root of the issue, as I updated alot of packages before I noticed this issue. But my dmesg log seems to give some insight:

I am running a ThinkPad T470p with hybrid graphics (Intel HD630, NVIDIA Geforce 940MX), with the default "linux" kernel, runit as my init system and Plasma+SDDM as my DE/WM. Currently I have these packages related to nvidia installed:
Code: [Select]
nvidia 565.57.01-1.2
nvidia-prime 1.0-5
nvidia-utils 565.57.01-1
opencl-nvidia 565.57.01-1

As mentioned I am not sure, whether it really is an issue of the nvidia driver itself, or the Linux kernel, or KDE Plasma or Wayland or whatever. The Arch Linux wiki mentions some systemd-service files (that obviously are not bundled in Artix) that should be activated, but I don't think they are the problem, as the system supended fine few updates ago.

Thanks in advance,

Little update: After removing nvidia and nvidia-utils with pacman -Rcs and rebooting, I was able to put my laptop to sleep again.

So I'm now 100% sure, that it is an issue with the nvidia driver. 2 questions still remain though:
- What did the update do to break suspending?
- How am I able to solve it?

Ok so it seems that my problem has been solved. Apparently the PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations is set to 1 by default (which I guess wasn't the case before the updates).
Forcing it to be 0 by creating /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf with the following content
Code: [Select]
options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=0
and rebooting after that seemed to do the trick.
That is especially weird to me, since I already tried that option almost at first, and it didn't work for some reason, though I'm glad that it works for now.

I also have this issue. Sadly setting NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=0 breaks wayland, so I cannot use it to fix this problem.
I think there is a more underlying issue here. As far as I can tell, there seems to have been an update to the nvidia driver, requiring some services to be running to get into sleep successfully without messing with the options. On Arch they are implemented as systemd units, but I don't think they have been ported to Artix.
This related post is kind of describing this, and I think the timeframe is also right since I have been experiencing this for quite some time now: https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,7394.msg44528.html

Yeah I assumed this too, though I can't confirm that the absence of the service files are really what caused the issue (as these scripts obviously couldn't have worked on Artix as is). Also this issue first appeared like a month ago, which is weird that we didn't experience it earlier...
Fortunately my system is a dual-GPU system and I don't need the Nvidia GPU for my Wayland-session.

If you find a proper solution, make sure to post it here.
