Driver crashes during inactivity after updating to 570

Graphics / Linux Linux

Hi everyone.

Previously, I used the Nvidia 535.183.01 DKMS driver for a year without any issues. I used it with different kernels from 6.7.1 to 6.11.3. After updating to Linux 6.13.1, I found that the 535 DKMS driver didn’t work anymore, so I replaced it with a regular 570.86.16 driver. Hopefully, 570 has issues that forced me to stay on DKSM fixed, But there is a new critical issue.

There’s a 50% chance of a driver crash after 20-30 minutes of inactivity. Here are some fragments from the logs:

just brainstorming:
570 works pretty stable on other distros with a bit older kernels: how about trying 6.12.x? (it works pretty well for me on Debian-trixie with 570.86.15 and 535.216.03).

Unfortunately, it still happens with Linux 6.12.12 and 6.12.13
