My screen becomes unresponsive once in several minutes, which makes the computer unusable, and buggy interfaces, e.g. the user interface is buggy.
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
After several minutes of usage, the screen becomes completely unresponsive, and I use REISUB to restart the computer.
It could be:
- a hardware problem
- a software problem
- a driver problem
Hardware problem:
I had Windows installed on this computer, and had not faced screen freezes.It seems more like that graphic cards are OK, than not.
Software problem:
It seems like there is a software problem, because the sizes of windows are programmatically set, aren't they, however I switched to Xorg, and still faced the irresponsible screens.
Driver problem;
My graphics cards are:
24:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2) 2b:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 220] (rev a2) In journalctl -p 3 --no-pager
There is:

Nvidia dropped support for your GPU and the 340 branch in Dec 2019. Ubuntu no longer ships the 340 series driver because of this as it doesn’t officially support the 5.15 series kernel. https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/ubuntu-22-04-lts-with-geforce-210-unable-to-install-nvidia-drivers/222935
I have tried to apply kelebek333 package.
There is a PPA where someone has patched the 340 driver for newer kernels: ppa:kelebek333/nvidia-legacy
But unsucessfully, I faced black screen after successful installation.
And also have tried to install 5.13 version of kernel, but it also was not supported by the drivers.
