This happens every time - at random times after resuming from suspend/hibernate the system freezes and only power cycle helps. I’ve found some info information about last freeze that happened in kern.log: Mar 31 12:13:06 gingerblade kernel: [33692.874653] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck f…

Is this log still with the release 460 drivers? I haven’t had a chance to set my system back up for hibernate to try the 460 drivers yet to see if I can reproduce this, sorry.

I’ve tried latest beta today, but i unfortunately couldn’t install it. I first removed existing drivers with apt remove and then proceeded installing beta by running: sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-465.19.01.run, but installation fails. I attach /var/log/nvidia-installer.log file nvidia-installer.log …

@xyapus I was wondering if you have managed to fix the issue? I’m running into a similar issue after upgrading to 460.

With 460 and 465 versions of the driver, I cannot even see the login screen on my Ubuntu 20.04. I was able to figure out the cause was Nvidia drivers and remove them in the recovery mode.

Same problem for me screen feeze and reboot randomly with ubuntu 20, nvidia gtx 1660 TI and driver 460.80

No, i had no luck. But i’m glad i started this topics, as it gains attention from others - maybe nvidia would fix it in the end. This is really frustrating experience at the moment using nvidia on linux

Yeah thanks for opening this, there is a similar thread on this forum . Can you confirm whether you’re alse getting: nvidia-modeset: ERROR: GPU:0: Display engine push buffer channel allocation failed: 0x65 (Call timed out [NV_ERR_TIMEOUT]) when you resume from suspend?

at the moment i’m using prime-select nvidia only, so no, looks like i’m getting different kind of error UPD. i read through your thread - yes, symptoms look quite similar. I can’t confirm if the error on my side is the same as yours - have no time for experimenting right now

Sadly though that Linux “desktop” users are lowest priority in means of support for Nvidia
