Hello all, for a few weeks/months now, my computer has stopped going into suspend mode. Here is what happens when putting it to sleep (using GNOME’s power menu) or using systemctl suspend:

  1. Display turns off, peripherals turn off (keyboard lights off etc), fans spin up before sleep as usual
  2. Fans go back to idle speed, computer stays on
  3. Have to press the keyboard, wake the display up and go in the power menu again to suspend it (from the lock screen), and it works every time like this.

I have no idea what could be preventing suspend and what I could find online did not really help a lot. I don’t think it is a USB device because I tried unplugging most of them except my mouse or my keyboard and it still did not work, and the second time on the lock screen it always suspends like intended


  • Distro: Fedora 40
  • DE: Gnome 46
  • GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1080Ti (Wayland)
  • CPU: Intel 10850K
  • MB: Gigabyte Z590 Gaming X (everything is up to date)

thx !

      Considering I can put my GTX 960M laptop into Sleep Mode while on a Wayland session, that’s not really a solution.

      I think you’re right on this, but i am thinking it’s more of an Nvidia issue rather than a Wayland one… Going to sleep under X11 works the first time, however resuming from sleep showed the following screen (kernel panic? with mentions of Nvidia)

      It’s either that or just a black screen. I think this warrants a driver reinstall, I also installed some CUDA stuff so will have to check this out…
