Hi NVIDIA Team,
I’m facing an issue during Linux boot where the system hangs after starting the graphical services. The following error repeatedly appears in the console:
[nvidia-drm] ERROR [GPU ID 0x00020000] Flip event timeout on head 0
Problem Description
The system boots normally until GNOME Display Manager starts.
After that, the screen freezes and the above error is printed repeatedly.
The desktop environment does not load successfully.
Boot Log (Relevant Portion)
Started GNOME Display Manager.
Started User Manager for UID 1000.
Started Docker Application Container Engine.

[nvidia-drm] ERROR [GPU ID 0x00020000] Flip event timeout on head 0
[nvidia-drm] ERROR [GPU ID 0x00020000] Flip event timeout on head 0
Request
Could you please help identify the root cause of this issue?
Specifically, I’d like to know:
Is this caused by an NVIDIA driver bug or a hardware problem?
Could it be related to a kernel/NVIDIA driver compatibility issue?
Are there any recommended debugging steps or driver parameters to collect more information?
If additional logs (such as nvidia-bug-report.log.gz, dmesg, or journalctl) are required, I can provide them.
Thank you.
