Computer does not suspend with nvidia 460 drivers

Hi,

I recently upgraded my nvidia driver to the 460 beta drivers because they contained a fix for an issue I was experiencing. While the fix is working, it seems like my system can no longer suspend anymore. When I suspend via the suspend button, sudo systemctl suspend, or pm-suspend, my PC starts powering down and it sounds like the discs spin down but then instantly spin up again and I appear back on my desktop.

From my journalctl log of when I suspended my device, it appears that something either fails to suspend or wakes the system back up:

I installed this beta drive from the nvidia-beta-dkms package from the AUR and the driver version is 460.27.04. I know that this is most likely a nvidia issue and not caused by Manjaro but wanted to see if anyone may have an idea on a way to fix it.

Specs:

Operating System: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.77.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.10.4-1-MANJARO
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz
Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: GeForce GTX 1080 Ti/PCIe/SSE2

Thanks.

You are using nVidia proprietary beta driver and experiencing bug not existing in previous version of the driver. You should report it to Nvidia, not Manjaro.

Turns out this was caused by me setting the PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations parameter at some point before testing out these drivers. This was fixed by removing the line from /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-power-management.conf.
