For the beginners in need of assistance, first take a look at this recommended guide https://github.com/korvahannu/arch-nvidia-drivers-installation-guide - maybe it helps to solve the issues your are having with this version of the driver.

@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.

@SoftExpert and also i have installed the latest nvidia utils too

@SoftExpert i'm using the latest kernel (6.9.7-arch1-1)

@SoftExpert Thanks. I have now tested the latest release and it works as expected (i.e. the .conf file in /etc/systemd/system/systemd-suspend.service.d/ file is no longer needed).

@parsaazari: have you installed the latest release of this package (should be listed as 470.256.02-5) ? We issued the release 5 recently to fix where the .conf files are to be created - the location is important, otherwise the parameters are not used.

@SoftExpert: I finally fixed thee problem by installing linux and Linux headers again and mkinitcpio -P, but after updating nvidia-utils, the sleep freeze bug wasn't fixed and when I pushed the sleep button while stremio is open my system breaks and a screen appears which I can send you a picture of it.

@parsaazari: the errors you have mentioned are not related to the nvidia drivers.

I would say there are some ongoing issues on your current system which prevent the correct loading of different modules - and perhaps destabilizing also the nvidia driver. You did not provide your kernel version, or the nvidia driver version, or any other precise information. With the information given I would assume you tweaked some parameters on various config files without knowing what are the consequences.

Since the purpose of this thread is focused exclusively on nvidia 470xx, I would not expect too much guidance outside this subject; perhaps the Arch wiki article should be good enough put you on the right track ?

hi, I have been having this sleep freeze issue whenever a video player (vlc,stremio) is left open while the system goes into sleep. i tried to install the latest package and it failed due to these errors: libkmod: kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf line 2: ignoring bad line starting with 'swcrypto=1' ==> ERROR: Cannot acquire used modules. Unable to use autodetection.

==> Starting build: '6.9.5-arch1-1' -> Running build hook: [base] -> Running build hook: [udev] -> Running build hook: [keyboard] ==> ERROR: module not found: 'usbhid'

==> WARNING: errors were encountered during the build. The image may not be complete. error: command failed to execute correctly

could anyone help?

@kachelaqa: Can we consider the issue adressed, then ? Does it work as expected now ?
