Suspend works with nouveau but it would be nice to get NVIDIA drivers also working. I have tried with 390.12 and older version but the result is the same. Everything was working before upgrade from 17.04.

I made an issue here:
[1] https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1029413/linux/blanc-screen-after-suspend-on-ubuntu-17-10-nvidia-390-12-driver/

And there is a "fix" here:

Older question here:
[3] black screen after resuming from suspend

Ooh, you are another fellow victim of the Nvidia-related bricking that royally ticked me off on Tuesday. Here's what I did to un-brick myself. Start your computer, make sure it doesn't suspend while you're doing all this.

sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

After that:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-396

cross fingers, reboot and you should be in business. Worked for me.

I've been looking for a solution for several months with no hope. I ran into many posts about this suspend/resume issue related to Nvidia graphics under Linux.

I tried many things, none worked:

1. Playing with kernel parameters.


2. Blacklisted nouveau module, even removed it completely (package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau).


3. Reinstalled Nvidia proprietary drivers.

Recently, I tried something and it seems working so far.

Simply run the nvidia-settings tool as a root and save its settings into an X Configuration File. You could save the file as /etc/X11/xorg.conf (used to be the default location for xorg configuration) or as a conf file under /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory.

I will update this post if this solution stopped working. By the way, I tried this solution after removing nouveau that didn't solve the issue. So I am not sure if it was the conf file alone or a combination of creating the conf file and removing nouveau.

My system: Kubuntu 18.04, desktop, Nvidia-390 proprietary drivers.

Update:
It worked for three suspends in a row, but stopped the forth time. It was suspended for 7 hours, and it woke up to a blank screen.

I was able to solve it by adding nomodeset to the grub file

1. 
   

   Edit the grub file

   
   
   

   sudo nano /etc/default/grub
   

   
   


2. 
   

   add the word nomodeset to the end of the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT string, so, if it was

   
   
   

   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" 
   

   
   
   

   it will now be

   
   
   

   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
   

   
   



3. Ctrl+O to save and press Enter



4. 
   

   update grub2 (or just grub on older distros):

   
   
   

   sudo update-grub2
   

   
   



5. reboot
