When the first beta 550 came out I was testing the driver and the laptop sometimes froze randomly. I didn’t know what was causing it until I went back to the 545 drivers and it was fixed. I thought it would be a problem because they were beta but no. It also happens to me with the stable version. W…

We have fixed a memory corruption issue specific to notebooks recently and request you to please test with driver 550.107.02 and share test results. https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/550.107.02/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-550.107.02.run

Its called supergfxctl, its from asus-ctl team: supergfxctl official. Its now possible to just use with switcheroo-control. It supports Hybrid, Integrated and VFIO, as well as a couple specific others. There is also an unofficial package on the AUR.

As I mentioned in my comment above. I have a lot of kdump files showing kernfs_node->iattr->xattrs->rb_root->rb_node being corrupted. If you need the relevant files to analyze, I can provide them. For my system, the system crashes under completely random conditions. I still haven’t found the con…

Today I updated to version 550.78 and my laptop froze on first boot. I’m going back to 535.

Nvidia cannot fix the critical bug with system damage for more than two months

I’m somewhat disappointed, too. Even I resolved the issues with workarounds for me as written above, the current 550.xx drivers are still unstable. I provided lots of logs/information, however I feel like being a minor priority, as I’m not running a datacenter and also using linux…

The 555 beta driver is 9 days away, lets hope for the best.

I have been running the last 545 driver with the lts kernel to circumvent the 550, but with todays update of the lts, this option was gone and I had to update to 550. I am only mildly affected with randomly occuring kernel panics upon reboot or shutdown. Still, by now, there is no escaping no more o…

be careful when you are running sudo pacman -Suuyy it is likely to brick your system sooner rather than later. Or mess up your packages at the least.
