Hello Linux people, I need a bit of help. I wanted to leverage the new 545 NVIDIA drivers, but no other OS that I know of has them yet, so I installed Arch Linux using the handy archinstall script. I followed an external guide on how to get NVIDIA cards up and running. This one specifically: https://github.com/korvahannu/arch-nvidia-drivers-installation-guide. And yes, I checked it against the wiki (from what I could understand, the linked guide has no issues). After I rebooted everything went okay. Tested out resource-intesive games and they ran as expected with the proprietary drivers. However (and I don't know if this is a problem related to the drivers), I just tried suspending the KDE Wayland session on my laptop (Forgot to mention that I followed the wiki on how to get nvidia-suspend and nvidia-hibernate set up, and they were set up correctly), but when I tried waking it up, the screen freezes in a black background with only the kde cursor (I cannot move the cursor in this state) so the only option I know of is to forcefully shutdown the system and reboot. I am not very experienced in Linux so I could use some assistance in finding the source of this problem.

My Lenovo laptop has a sleep setting in the BIOS that can be set to either Windows or Linux. Changing that helped me out 👍🐧

Seems like resuming from suspend on nVidia is a common issue.
Try this first https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/how-to-fix-the-sleep-suspend-issue-glitch-with-crashing-nvidia-propietary-drivers-and-x11-wayland-on-kde-plasma-arch-endeavouros/42303
And if that doesn't work, check https://gist.github.com/bmcbm/375f14eaa17f88756b4bdbbebbcfd029

Thanks for the reply. What's weird is that I've done what the endeavouros forums said (and, looking through them, they did similar steps as the ones outlined on the archwiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA/Tips_and_tricks#Preserve_video_memory_after_suspend and I still get that black frozen screen with just a cursor. I'm guessing this is exclusively NVIDIA's fault... or KDE's as I never had this problem on GNOME. Thanks anyhow

Post the journal after wakeup, not before.

I have the opposite problem on Windows, my computer stops running whenever it goes to sleep. I think it’s Nvidia-related, but I’m not entirely sure how to track it down. The errors I get are not very helpful.
