Ubuntu 25.04 partially fixes NVIDIA suspend and resume issues

Ubuntu 25.10 is nearing release, and one of the issues that it fixes is a five-year-old bug that affects people using the NVIDIA display driver if GNOME is running. Such issues caused elements to appear corrupt, such as text. In May 4th, 2020, a Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa user had experienced this issue and submitted it to Launchpad under the mutter package.

There were no fixes for this issue for a long time, but it looks like that the Ubuntu team may have partially fixed this issue for those who are running GNOME under X11, while the Wayland version is still affected. It was a common occurrence that those with NVIDIA graphics cards would experience issues like this when suspending and resuming, especially when working with computers. Therefore, it’s very late to fix it completely as we’re getting closer to Ubuntu 25.04 release.

In today’s comment from the desktop team, NVIDIA’s suspend and resume has been audited for Mutter support, but it’s “not wired up for Wayland sessions, but also harder to implement than in Xorg sessions. Looks like Mutter Wayland sessions won’t support reliable suspend/resume on the Nvidia driver this cycle at least.” At the same time, Mutter 48.1 is out now for this version of Ubuntu.
