The 6.11 kernel release is getting closer; on my side, I could compile the nvidia-470xx modules without any additional change - latest RC at this time is RC7.

Is this the case four you also ?

Finally, we have a patch that works !

Big thank you to philmmanjaro who posted the patch on the NVidia forum.

With this patch I build successfully the kernel modules on:

• 6.6.41

• 6.9.10

• 6.10

Hopefully it works for all of you out there ..

Heads-up: kernel 6.10 does not play nice with our current driver version (470.256.02); I'm still evaluating the patch required to make it work.

Update: a post on Nvidia forum has been created, in search of a solution.

@SoftExpert it works actually. Now my system doesnt crash when it goes sleep with the stremio/vlc is open

@parsaazari: I thought you wanted to make it work, not disable it ... But if you found what you were looking for, then that's what matters. Cheers !

@SoftExpert the soloution was systemctl disable nvidia-suspend.service

@parsaazari: I see the exception in the trace you shared. The following part is interesting: Hardware name: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. CX61 0NC/CX61 0ND/CX61 0NF/CX61 0NE/MS-16GB, BIOS E16GBIMS.406 10/10/2012.

I found a forum post which is marked as solved, and the solution was to update the bios.

Based on this finding, I'm inclined to say your BIOS is too old and very likely contains bugs or, at least, is not playing nice with the more recent code thet the kernel and systemd want executed.

I would try to find an update for the BIOS; if your motherboard is MSI, have you checked the corresponding forum ?

With BIOS updates you must be very careful - wrong version or command could brick your system.

@SoftExpert this is the log from my system. the crash happens at 23:52 time clock. could you please see if you could help? https://0x0.st/Xaf0.txt

@kachelaqa: Thanks for confirming !

@parsaazari: Have you tried also with the latest LTS kernel (6.6.36 for example) just to rule out the possibility of a breaking change in the latest kernels ?

Other than that, if your kernel is up to date, the nvidia package is up to date and you still have problems, it means that in your particular context:

• either the sleep mode will not work because of some particularity of your environment

• or there is some misconfiguration that will trigger the freeze

Unfortunately, the driver itself is barely maintained by Nvidia (just getting patches from time to time when there are serious kernel changes that prevent it to compile). No serious fixes will come our way from Nvidia, unless miracle ...

In your place I would audit the loading of the kernel modules, watch the system journal, search in the forums and experiment with one change at the time.
