Ubuntu 22.04 can't suspend

Question

I updated to Ubuntu 22.04 and there is something wrong when I suspend my computer: I have that screen:

I'm using NVIDIA driver (nvidia-driver-470) and I'm on X11 and since the update I can't switch to Wayland anymore from the login session.

edit (23/04/2022):

I think i don't have ram issues according to memtest :

I manage to get Wayland back by editing

/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules

as @ManOnTheMoon suggested in comments.

Edit your question and show me sudo dmidecode -s bios-version and free -h and sysctl vm.swappiness and swapon -s and sudo lshw -C memory. You may wish to try the newer Nvidia software. Also go to https://www.memtest86.com/ and download/run their free memtest to test your memory. Get at least one complete pass of all the 4/4 tests to confirm good memory. This may take a few hours to complete. Report back. Start comments to me with @heynnema or I'll miss them. — heynnema, Apr 22 '22 at 17:20
there is a bug report regarding wayland option not available link and mentioned here link. In the bug log, there is a mentioning about the suspend issue which you might want to have a look — ManOnTheMoon, Apr 23 '22 at 10:48

@ManOnTheMoon thanks to help me get wayland option back! I did not find the the bug log you mentioned. — GuillaumeF93, Apr 23 '22 at 17:17

After a few days of searching for a solution, I finally found one of the solutions I tried yesterday, and it finally worked! But I haven't found out any further whether the impact on my laptop in the future, at least this solution can help me first for now. Who knows this can help other friends too..

From the following reference (in comment #2 from dhenry), I tried disabling nvidia-resume and nvidia-suspend services using this command :

systemctl disable nvidia-hibernate.service nvidia-resume.service nvidia-suspend.service

This answer didn't work for my thinkpad E14. However, the comment of bmharper in this github issue https://gist.github.com/bmcbm/375f14eaa17f88756b4bdbbebbcfd029 worked like a charm – ibilgen Oct 05 '22 at 22:35
This works, but gives some really strange graphics artefacts when resuming. Notably teams and steam show blank parts of the screen instead of images (or who is calling in case of teams). It seems to me that nvidia-suspend ought to have committed some memory to disk which now no longer happens when removing those services. – user114676 Oct 26 '22 at 06:41
Worked for me, too. Ubuntu 22.10 on Wayland with Nvidia GeForce GT 1030. – Sasha MaximAL Mar 31 '23 at 09:41
How do you 1) verify the systemctl states before and after running those commands? And 2) undo this change? – Gabriel Staples Jun 12 '23 at 05:01
For me it gave
Unit /etc/systemd/system/nvidia-hibernate.service is masked, ignoring. Unit /etc/systemd/system/nvidia-resume.service is masked, ignoring. Unit /etc/systemd/system/nvidia-suspend.service is masked, ignoring.

For me, the NVidia driver 510 that came with the Ubuntu 20.04 allows the system to suspend correctly but after installing Cuda 11.7 it updates the driver to 515 which does not suspend/hibernate. Now when I try to suspend, it just goes back to the lock screen but doesn't power-down.

The fix for this can be found at.. https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/ubuntu-20-04-installing-cuda-changes-nvidia-drivers-and-breaks-suspend/196220. It's requires a few steps to implement but after doing so my system now suspends and wakes up correctly.

Basically, the 515 driver (or at least what's in the cuda 11.7 install package) is not installing/linking the following files...

/lib/systemd/system/nvidia-*(hibernate, resume, suspend)
/lib/systemd/system-sleep/nvidia
/usr/bin/nvidia-sleep.sh

These need to be manually installed and then correctly linked into the systemd file structure for suspend to work. The script in the above link automates this once you've gathered the above files into a single directory. I copied these files from my 20.04 system to use in 22.04, though he did also post text versions of the files in the link.

At least in Ubuntu 22.04 with nvidia 515 driver, these files should already be present. At any rate they can be added via systemctl enable nvidia-hibernate.service nvidia-resume.service nvidia-suspend.service which will add the appropriate symlinks. Does not solve the issue for me. — holocronweaver, Aug 19 '22 at 20:23
This worked for my situation: Ubuntu 22.04 w/ NVidia 470 w/ CUDA that I had to scrub 470 and replace with 525 to fix backlight brightness controls. — hansonap, Mar 13 '24 at 15:52

For others who have the same bug, but integrated card - it seems like new bug in Ubuntu 22.04.

Try change X11 to Wayland and backwards
if issue still exists - guess you can confirm that this bug affects you: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1970957

Disabling Waylang in file etc/gdm3/custom.conf worked for me. section of the change file:
`[daemon]

Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg

WaylandEnable=false`
– Bauna Jun 03 '22 at 00:24
This custom.conf change didn't fix suspend on Dell 5490, but it does allow the lock screen to be opened. – Mark D Nov 06 '23 at 04:06

I have a Dell XPS 7590 (GeForce GTX 1650) and had the same problem.

For me it was resolved when I changed the used driver from X.Org X Server to NVIDIA driver metapackage from nvidia-driver-515.

Everything is working now using Xorg (ubuntu on xorg from gdm) with nvidia-driver-510 (from additional drivers).

for me the problem persists, please see the screenshot, Is the same driver?. I activated Xorg from GDM following the recommendations of ManOnTheMoon driver nvidia – rianmz Apr 27 '22 at 05:02
@rianmz, I think GuillaumeF93 gotten back the wayland option from the link. As for the suspend issue, you might want to manually downgrade your driver using the GUI; Software & Updates and go to the Additional Drivers tab (remember to reboot before testing the suspend option). I'm using 390 to fix the suspend problem on my machine. But everybody's hardware is different, hence, it'd be best to try till you find one. You can read more about it here link – ManOnTheMoon Apr 27 '22 at 07:22
Just to add, my machine is running kernel 5.15.0-27-generic, GeForce 940MX, Wayland on Ubuntu 22.04 with the downgraded Nvidia 390 driver. – ManOnTheMoon Apr 27 '22 at 07:39
