Hi,
Looks like when installing driver 560 from Proprietary GPU Drivers : “Graphics Drivers” team all the Proton/Wine apps do not run.
My guess is that 560 packages lack 32 bit binaries, hence those don’t run.
libnvidia-compute-560:i386 libnvidia-decode-560:i386 libnvidia-encode-560:i386 libnvidia-fbc1-560:i386 libnvidia-gl-560:i386
Which are installed by default with 555.
Reading package lists… Done
E: Package ‘libnvidia-gl-560:i386’ has no installation candidate
There’s clearly some packaging issue going on with Ubuntu drivers.

I used an external SSD and installed a live Ubuntu 24 + drivers 560 from scratch, same issues.

Just for reference, the PPA has done 3 updates to the 560 driver, the 1st one had horrible crashes for most Steam games using Proton, the 2nd one had less crashes but still had crashes compared to 555 which were never happening. The 3rd one basically make google chrome crash segfault. Going back to 555 fixes all steam issues as well making google chrome stable again.
I will wait for 24.10 to test the 560 just in case.

Consider that the 560 driver requires egl-wayland version 1.1.13.1 or higher to properly support EGL Wayland (Release 1.1.13.1 · NVIDIA/egl-wayland · GitHub ). In the Ubuntu repository, the latest version for Noble Numbat is 1.1.13, which is before the release of the patch for 560 drivers. You can download and install manually the version 1.1.15 (egl-wayland package : Ubuntu ) released for Oracular Oriole (24.10), or wait for an updated version for 24.04 (if it is released at all).

This is the answered. A specific dependency is creating all of these issues. I updated as you suggested and have not had gaming issues nor google chrome crashes. Although I don’t like to mix and match like this.

In my case, after installing the 560 driver and updating egl-wayland, the Google Chrome browser doesn’t work very well. All Graphics Feature are deactivated. When I open the browser, I see the loading animation all the time, and GPU-related errors in the console. Can you show the Graphics Feature Status from chrome://gpu/ for the Nvidia 560 driver under Ubuntu? What is your GPU?
Confirmed. This is also happening on Chrome. No wonder it has this slowness feeling. My GPU is a 4090 and if I do the chrome://gpu basically chrome says I have a Voodoo Banshee. I get the feeling this is more Google Chrome with their horrible updates as of late than an Nvidia issue (I am talking about the chrome://gpu output), but for the slowness it is only happening on 560. On 555 it runs correctly.

I created an account to thumbs you up
I should mention that I am running KDE Plasma 6.1 on 555 and so far so good.

I logged in to give you a thumbs up hehe. BTW I got https://www.youtube.com/@xtremelinux and it just so happens once Ubuntu 24.10 launches I will be literally testing KDE on it (I am a sponsored member of KDE, they do quality stuff).
This is a packaging issue in the PPA. See Launchpad bug #2081196 . The PPA is packaging nvidia_icd_vksc.json in /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d instead of /usr/share/vulkansc/icd.d. You can workaround it by moving that file to the correct directory.
It is fixed for 24.10 in the Ubuntu repo here .

I want to note that in the PPA Proprietary GPU Drivers : “Graphics Drivers” team , the 560.35.03 driver for Ubuntu 24.04 has been released with the fix mentioned by @conky_vs_julian . In addition, the egl-wayland package version 1:1.1.15 for Ubuntu 24.04 has been made available in this PPA, so the manual installation I mentioned earlier is no longer necessary. I installed the 560.35.03 driver on Ubuntu 24.04 and so far I haven’t observed any performance problems.

I updated to the 560 drivers yesterday and can confirm that Proton/Wine games are running fine now. Been playing a few different games today from various sources (Steam, Lutris and Heroic) and everything runs great without any performance issues or crashes.
Can confirm the same. Since the Sunday update all seems now working.
Thanks to Ubuntu maintainers!
I have updated to ubuntu 24.10 (wayland), added the ppa and installed 560.35.03 driver but I still have the issue.
nvidia-smi gives:
I do not know what to do anymore.
Thanks in advance for your help
You either have multiple versions of the Nvidia software installed, or you’re missing the software tools to be able to build software drivers.
For the first, do “dpkg -l *nvidia*”, see if you have multiple versions installed, if so, purge the old versions. If you don’t, switch to your Intel video, reboot, and then purge anything that says nvidia on it and matches the nvidia driver version. Then reinstall the nvidia driver using “Additional Drivers”.
For the second, install gcc, make, build-essentials. Reinstall the nvidia driver using “Additional Drivers”.
Thanks heynema, I did clean everything and ‘dpkg -l nvidia ’ shows everywhere.
Show me the complete output of the “dpkg -l *nvidia*” command, and a screenshot of your Additional Drivers window. See if this command still works… sudo prime-select intel. Do you also have dkms installed?
dpkg -l nvidia
BlockquoteDesired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
screenshot:
dpkg -l dkms gives:
‘sudo prime-select intel’ does not work (prime-select is not installed)
Thanks for the details. Note that in the first column you’ll properly see “un” as uninstalled. But the “bn” is something I haven’t seen before… and it looks like it indicates half-installed.
So… “purge *nvidia*”, and dpkg should then show nothing for nvidia, or all nvidia as “un”. Then using Additional Drivers, install the 550 or 555 (not the -open version) driver (I’m starting to suspect 560 problems… as it’s a beta release).
Report back.
