… Wait, really? So, nvidia and nvidia-open are going to be merged?

And how long will it take to appear? A year or two

NVIDIA-open is going to be the only supported one with 560, prop is still going to exist but it won’t be tested anymore

228

I guess that explains the bug still occuring to this day. Might there be a chance they intentionally put a bad line of code just so we switch to nvidia-open?

Has anyone had the courage to test 560.28.03 yet? There is nothing in the changelog about our problem, so I’m not getting my hopes up…

230

Only the open kernel modules work, still kernel panics with the prop ones. NVIDIA won’t fix this .

231

Hmpf. I guess it’s time to look for new hardware. Without an Nvidia GPU.

My computer with 560 proprietary drivers:

233

So again, 5 kernel panics in one evening on driver 560, it seems to me they just changed the number from 555 to 560 and released it without even changing anything

234

I have the same problem, and it’s frustrating. Please fix this. I doubt it would be that hard. Come on.

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.

I would like to point out that this isn’t a notebook-specific issue. I am observing occasional kernel panics (the screen freezes and capslock+scrolllock start blinking) on a desktop configuration under OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (rolling distribution) and 550 series NVidia drivers (although I haven’t tested the very latest ones yet).

In my case however, I’m using my discrete GPU (NVidia RTX3090) as a compute/CUDA device, while the primary display is on the integrated Intel GPU (UHD770), so in a way it’s configured similar to notebooks.

237

I tested 550.107.02 drivers in my laptop (GTX 1060) and for now I didn’t have any kernel panics.

238

How do you install that driver version?

I can’t found this on Aur or arch packages.

I created my own PKGBUILDs by editing PKGBUILD · e5390c1ad282778f2ea907479e5d61821716c46f · Arch Linux / Packaging / Packages / nvidia-utils · GitLab and PKGBUILD · 9a74609250b686cb2d81f57a65f38ef3219c540e · Arch Linux / Packaging / Packages / lib32-nvidia-utils · GitLab

Can you share your pkgbuilds?

I uploaded PKGBUILDs for 550.107.02 here: nvidia-550xx.tar.gz (449.2 KB)

Thank’s a lot, there is PKGBUILD for nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils but what about nvidia package?

Edit:

Ok I see it’s inside nvidia-utils.

245

Well, aparently it’s may be fixed. I can upgrade and a package that require reload device manager configuration without problems. I can suspend to S3 state witouth problems and shutdown the laptop without problems too.

I will test during this days and comment newly the next week.
