I am using Fedora 41 with Nvidia Drivers installed from RPM Fusion using this guide.
Laptop Configuration:
- Lenovo LOQ Gen 9 AMD (15AHP9)
- Ryzen 7 8845HS, RTX 4060
- Has a MUX Switch and also supports Optimus on Windows well.
The system works fine when plugged in. The problem starts as soon as I unplug the laptop. For a few seconds, apps open as intended (although with a slight delay). But after about 5-10 seconds, the system simply refuses to open anything. The terminal freezes and is unable to execute any commands (eg : powertop, nvidia-smi, won’t work and will freeze the current terminal tab in gnome-terminal). System apps refuse to open (System monitor, Settings, etc). The problem also persists with X11. I have also tested Manjaro and it isn’t any different and has the same problem in both Wayland and X11.
These are the logs when the Laptop is plugged in:
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (1.3 MB)
And these are the logs captured after plugging out the power cable:
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (1.5 MB)
Also to mention that cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:01\:00.1/power/control gives me auto which I expect to be “on”.
And cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/power/runtime_status gives active and suspended somewhat randomly. When on AC, it switches to suspended (and sometimes back to active randomly) but it immediately switches to active as soon as I switch off AC. Post which, for a few seconds, the system is functional. But after 8-10 seconds, things stop working. Even nvidia-bug-report.sh won’t work (the terminal freezes after I execute it).

Also, the system is indefinitely stuck at power off and reboot if done through battery mode. Things don’t return to normal anywhere if the AC is plugged back on.
