A short script to apply a work around to fixing suspend on Fedora when using the Nvidia proprietary driver and wayland

How do I know if I need this

You can try this script if:

1. You are using a relatively recent Fedora release (e.g. 36 at time of writing)
2. You are using a relatively recent Nvidia proprietary driver (e.g. 515.57 at time of writing)
3. You are using Wayland
4. When you use suspend one of two problems occur:
   1. The screen goes dark for about 30 seconds, the computer never goes into suspend, and you are returned to the lock screen
   2. Suspend works but when you come back the video memory is completely corrupt and requires a window manager restart or computer restart

How does it work

This script combines two separate work arounds:

1. A fix from https://github.com/robswc/ubuntu-22-nvidia-suspend-fix-script to fix issue #1 above
2. A fix to ensure the power configuration from xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-power is applied to fix issue #2 above

How do I use this

Script usage can be found by running with no arugments, e.g.

$> ./fedora-wayland-nvidia-suspend-fix.sh
fedora-wayland-nvidia-suspend-fix.sh help
 * If no arguments are specified, print this help message
 * If an unrecognized argument is specified, print this help message.
 * If an argument of i or I is specified, uninstall the workarounds.
 * If an argument of u or U is specified, uninstall the workarounds.

To install the workarounds using the script directly from github, you can do:

curl -s "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fontivan/fedora-wayland-nvidia-suspend-fix/main/src/fedora-wayland-nvidia-suspend-fix.sh" | sudo bash -s -- i
