I installed Ubuntu MATE 22.04 yesterday and installed NVIDIA drivers 535, and have noticed that it tends to hang the system. It can range from either opening a browser or after a long while of watching a video, or just having a few application windows open at once. This issue is more frequent with Nouveau drivers.
I've tried:
- Switching drivers (Originally was on 545)
- Adding
nvidia-drm.modeset=1to/etc/default/grub - Blacklisting Nouveau drivers using
options nouveau modeset=0in a conf in/etc/modprobe.d/ - TTY keys don't work when it does crash
All of which worked fine for a while, but would crash regardless.
One of the messages from the dmesg logs that were last was:
[ 217.530946] [drm:nv_drm_master_set [nvidia_drm]] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Failed to grab modeset ownership
I was originally suspecting it to be the culprit however I am unsure if it is the cause or not.
The full output of sudo dmesg -w | grep -i nvidia is here.
Is there anything else I can do to fix this or find what is happening to cause these crashes? I'll provide more info about my system if needed.
