As I and many others have reported, 580 release feedback & discussion - #21 by agarplayerarlon the 580.65.06 beta driver has a regression where GTK 4 apps hang when you click the “x” button to close them, people have reported it happens with the vulkan backend, but for me on KDE Plasma 6.4.3, which …

From the release notes: Fixed a bugregression introduced in 580.65.06 that could cause Vulkan applications to hang on Wayland. I can confirm with 580.82.07 GTK4 apps are no longer hanging on exit with the default Vulkan rendering backend. nVidia internal tracking Bug #5436037 @agarplayerarlon …

to add more information that I’ve just discovered, flatseal (which is a GTK4 app) doesn’t hang and closes correctly weirdly enough, but all the other GTK 4 applications I have installed, Mission Center, Warehouse, Mousam, Gear Lever, Proton Plus, they all hang when trying to close/exit

Thanks for reporting this. As you noted on the main thread, this is being tracked by internal bug #5436037. ( link for reference )

This was already ack’d, reproduced, and an internal bug filed by nVidia: [image] 580 release feedback & discussion Linux I can reproduce this. I filed internal bug #5436037.

GL renderer is unaffected. This issue is specific to the default GTK4 Vulkan backend renderer.

Hello, I’m encountering this issue as well on Debian 13 on KDE with the 580.76.05 driver, and GSK_RENDERER=ngl does fix the issue. I tested this using the Bazaar flatpak app, but the behavior is the same for other GTK apps. Let me know if you need any more information! Hopefully I get a reply emai…

Can you please give 580.82.07 a try? It was released this morning.

With 580.82.07, I can also confirm that the issue is fixed. Thanks for the communication!

Can you please try setting GSK_RENDERER=ngl in the environment and see if that works around the problem?
