Anyone else having this issue? I just updated through Discovery and it auto installed 580. Taskbar froze up, but everything else worked fine. I had to purge nvidia drivers, reinstall 550, and reboot. Now I’m on X.Org Nouveau. Pretty sure I was on Nvidia 570 prior to this but I don’t know how to go back, still new to this Linux stuff haha
Edit: Ok, I was able to get back on 570 with software sources (kept getting an error before). 580 is still borked for me though (says proprietary and tested). Do I just wait for the next update?
You must log in or # to comment.
I don’t know if it’s the same in Ubuntu Studio, but in Ubuntu and derivates you can launch
sudo software-properties-gtkorsudo software-properties-qtfrom a terminal. In the window that appears, choose the tab ‘Additional Drivers’. There you can choose the Nvidia graphic drivers you prefer among older and newer versions. Good way to roll back.Apologies if this was obvious 🙏
Great to know, thank you! I kept trying to get to Software Sources before it froze
Open an issue on thee GitHub project for it.
I would generally never update to the latest driver with an nvidia card. On some distros it might work out, but i have always had less issues by just staying one or more major versions behind. If your system auto updates to latest, then thats kinda bad design by the distro devs imho. What distro are you on?
I’m on Ubuntu Studio 24.04. A few days ago I saw that 580 was released but didn’t know how to install it. Today I had auto updates show up so I installed them. 580 was one of them I guess. The taskbar froze up and I got mouse pointer trailing all ove the desktop. Everything else worked fine. I’ll pay more attention next time and exclude 580 in updates for now.
I would have thought that ubuntu does proper stability testing before pushing out updates. Well im glad you were able to get it working again.
Yeah, maybe it just doesn’t play well with my 3060. I’ll leave it at 570 for awhile. Thanks.
I don’t think there’s an inherent issue with 580, but maybe others can chime in with different info.
Do you know the install source for the packages?
I’m not sure, I just hit install updates when it popped up in Discover. Just looked again and there were a few updates to KDE and Gnome I just installed so maybe that was the problem, but now that I got 570 working again I’m not trying it for a bit
I think they dropped support for 10xx era cards with 580. Maybe that’s it.
