Bug report: nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (614.8 KB) OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Kernel: 6.6.3-1-default Nvidia driver version: 545.29.06-18.1 GPU: 1060 3GB The problem starts at system startup, i get a really long startup, the splash screen appears glitched with artefacts, goes blank, and the screen t…

Also my system boots now normally to Wayland after setting fbdevto 0 and and running mkinitcpio -P

I have this too. Like everyone else mentioned already is to set fbdev=0. I’ve had one or two occasions when fbdev=1 actually worked fine, I have no idea why, all I did was to reboot the system. (so it might be a race condition?)

Ok, so a quick update, the race condition idea got me thinking, so I decided to turn off the secondary monitor when booting… and voila! The timeout disappeared. Tried 3 reboots in a row. works like a charm. So apparently you can have fbdev=1 if you turn off your secondary monitor when booting Migh…

I just debugged a problem with the fbdev code where the workqueue trying to handle a hotplug event gets deadlocked with an event that it’s waiting for that’s supposed to be processed on the same workqueue. It’s possible that having your second monitor attached was generating a hotplug at boot and tr…

@aplattner I can give it a try. It does recover but it takes a while. Screen keeps switching modes etc.

Here you go: Download this patch: nvidia-drm-hotplug-workqueue.patch (3.6 KB) bash NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-545.29.06.run --apply-patch nvidia-drm-hotplug-workqueue.patch sudo bash NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-545.29.06-custom.run

From what I can tell the patch seems to work. Did 5 reboots and it didn’t lock up. I also turned of the computer and turn everything back on again.

dumb q, but will this hotplug be integrated into the next driver version (for those who don’t want to install via .run)?

I had the same issue and I confirm that the patch works.

@aplattner i started getting these flip even timeouts again with 550 for some reason. But the driver seems to be patched now so it got to be something else. The timeouts disappeard with the patch for 545, I had no issues at all.
