Suspend is no longer working

When I suspend to RAM the computer turns off in 3s. When I try to wake the system by pressing a key on the keyboard the monitors stay black and one of two things happend:

  1. the system reboots after 5min
  2. the system is not available (ssh login not possible), monitors receive no video signal and keyboard presses don’t seem to affect the system

I tried to analyze the problem by following the steps in Debugging hibernation and suspend — The Linux Kernel documentation and found out that the devices pm_test is failing.

The guide tells me to unload kernel modules in a binary search kind of way. Like disable half modules then test again. But I don’t know how to do that or how to choose which modules to disable.

I executed this command, but not sure if it contains useful info:
sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st
http://0x0.st/8QG-.txt

Could you please give me a hint at how I could try out to disable kernel modules? A link to a web resource would be appreciated as well.

Thank you for reading, have a nice day!

@singlebite @deano_ferrari
I notice this was posted on 17/mar/2025 and the OP is using 570.124 drivers … 570.133 was released by Nvidia the next day 18/mar so perhaps the new driver solved the problem? Will need to hear from OP to confirm

Also one “easy” thing to check would be having

NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 set.

You can see all the NVreg options by using modinfo nvidia

I made an /etc/modprobe.d/90-nvidia.conf that looks like this:

windeath:/home/dart/Downloads # cat /etc/modprobe.d/90-nvidia.conf 
# See "modinfo nvidia" for others
options nvidia \
	NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1

# For Wayland
options nvidia_drm modeset=1

and finally here is a link on how to check pm_test: debug pm_test although I haven’t tried it
