Copying the systemd service file is not needed if you installed GPU Screen Recorder from AUR as this is done automatically. -You can then use the `scripts/save-replay.sh` script to save a replay.

To fix this, either disable suspend or tell the NVIDIA driver to preserve video memory on suspend/hibernate by using the `NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1` option. You can run `sudo extra/install_preserve_video_memory.sh` to automatically add that option to your system. |
