Ubuntu 20.04 LTS nvidia-powerd failed RTX3060 driver 515.65.01

Hello,

since my last Ubuntu update which was yesterday, after my vacation, I have noticed that the service nvidia-powerd is not working anymore and instead of suspend I get a log out…

Is there anybody else with such an issue?

nvidia-powerd is only for mobile chips, never worked on your desktop system. Just disable and mask.

I did it, thanks!
