I can edit it if you think i have missed anything. I cant switch to the nouveau driver as i have the problem with sddm logging me out when using it.
Are you suggesting to install the nouveau driver and boot with nouveau.config=NvGspRm=1
I think i know how to edit the grub boot but where do i add this line? also do i need to add to default grub and update to make it permanent? Is this likely inhibit 3D modeling with freecad.
Maybe i need to just suck it and see, if all else fails i can stick with gnome until this is fixed or the cinnamon desktop works.
From the boot menu, you can edit the lines in the Advanced section (letter E). Then you add the setting after the other nvidia settings. I think you then hit F10 to boot, but the screen will tell you. It will not make the change permanent, just for that boot up.
the under score before quiet splash is just the curser i didnt think to move it after typing.
Its not a huge problem i just need to avoid closing the lid whilst logged in for the time being. Thanks again.
I have now reinstalled the nvidia driver and tried this but it didnât change anything. After doing some more reading i found several articles that say it is also necessary to enable nvidia services with systemctl; sleep, hibernate and suspend
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-sleep.service etc
These services were not found and i couldnât find out how they could be installed
I then tried
systemctl list-units | grep nvidia
this produced no results however i checked the same thing on my linuxmint install and got this
i have enabled nvidia-persistence, but wasnât able to do anything with sys-bus-pci-drivers-nvidia.
After loooking in this folder it is empty so no driver to load. More resaerch suggested kernel-headers were needed so i installed the kernel-desktop-devel package and now this folder has contents
[rich@Z710-OMrome ~]$ ls /sys/bus/pci/drivers/nvidia
0000:01:00.0 bind module new_id remove_id uevent unbind
[rich@Z710-OMrome ~]$ systemctl list-units | grep nvidia
nvidia-persistenced.service loaded active running NVIDIA Persistence Daemon
[rich@Z710-OMrome ~]$ sudo systemctl enable sys-bus-pci-drivers-nvidia.device
[sudo] password for rich:
Failed to enable unit: Unit sys-bus-pci-drivers-nvidia.device does not exist
[rich@Z710-OMrome ~]$ sudo systemctl start sys-bus-pci-drivers-nvidia.device
^C

sys-bus-pci-drivers-nvidia.device loaded inactive dead start /sys/bus/pci/drivers/nvidia
nvidia-persistenced.service loaded active running NVIDIA Persistence Daemon
[rich@Z710-OMrome ~]$
I got something to happen but not sure what.
How do i get the nvidia drivers to loaded active plugged?
I thought you meant i need to try and find them. For the moment i guess i need to wait. I saw on some other forums that some people had success down grading to the 550 driver so a downloaded it from nvidia and tried to install however it failed to build the kernel module due to clang compiler versions bieng different. For now i will just avoid closing the laptop without first shuting down. If this is fixed will it be implemented through a normal update or will i need to reinstall the driver. Thanks again for all the help.
The typical use case of the closed or open nvidia branded driver in Linux, is 3D acceleration (i.e. CAD, gaming, or compute). For that reason, it was probably decided not to include power management services. The builds should be done today for cooker and they have the services added, but disabled. People using it for power management purposes will need to enable them.
