That situation occurs as well when installing nvidia-utils-* (in my case nvidia-utils-450-server), which installs nvidia-settings. See https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/nvidia-settings/. This requirement is optional and should be omitted on servers, as the same issue will occur (hibernation, unreachable node, very difficult to recover)

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-460-server package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The nvidia-driver-* packages have a Recommends on nvidia-settings. Installing them w/ recommends enabled therefore ends up bringing in the whole X stack, including gdm3. gdm3 will do things like suspend systems if the login screen is idle - not behavior server users would expect. The description for nvidia-settings suggests it is only applicable for graphics configuration. Therefore, would it make sense to remove the nvidia-settings recommendation from the nvidia- driver-*-server packages, which are more oriented for server class hardware?
