Bug Description

When the nvidia driver packages are uninstalled, they leave some symlinks that prevent suspend.

I whink that, when attempting to suspend, the error is logged as this (edited):

    ModemManager[3287]: <warn> [sleep-monitor] inhibit failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying
    upowerd[5771]: Could not acquire inhibitor lock: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying

    systemd[1]: Stopped Login Service.
    systemd[1]: Condition check resulted in Load Kernel Module drm being skipped.
    systemd[1]: Starting Login Service...

I've deleted the problematic symlinks while trying to solving the problem, however, they should be these:

    /etc/systemd/system/systemd-suspend-service.requires/nvidia-suspend.service
    /etc/systemd/system/systemd-suspend-service.requires/nvidia-resume.service
    /etc/systemd/system/systemd-hibernate-service.requires/nvidia-suspend.service
    /etc/systemd/system/systemd-hibernate-service.requires/nvidia-resume.service

I've briefly checked before removing them; at least a couple of them were masked, but they were still causing the problem.

I don't see any reason why they should hang around the systemd configuration once the packages are purged. Additionally, this is a problem that is not easy to diagnose.

Thanks for reporting this.
I can confirm the bug and the proposed solution.
I ran into issues with the 470 driver and hence uninstalled it. Since then my computer refused to suspend or hibernate. I always just got logged out.

After deleting the following files, it works so far:
/etc/systemd/system/systemd-suspend-service.requires/nvidia-suspend.service
/etc/systemd/system/systemd-suspend-service.requires/nvidia-resume.service
/etc/systemd/system/systemd-hibernate-service.requires/nvidia-suspend.service
/etc/systemd/system/systemd-hibernate-service.requires/nvidia-resume.service
