I have a laptop HP-OMEN 17t bc000 GForce RTX2080 with monitors Idek Iiyama PL3270Q and Idek Iiyama PL3288UH
I observe a very unstable driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-440.82.run for Ubuntu Kernel v5.6.4
Constantly reset current settings with access to the login window
At the same time, the screen blink
Some windows immediately lose controls setting|660x500
For version 5.7.0-rc1, along with the patch for the driver, it works even more unstable
During the installation, I wrote an error when choosing the dkms option and did not install, if I did not select it, I received another message:
The CC version check failed:
The kernel was built with gcc version 9.3.0 (Ubuntu 9.3.0-10ubuntu1), but the current compiler version is cc (Ubuntu 9.2.1-9ubuntu2)
9.2.1 20191008.
This may lead to subtle problems; if you are not certain whether the mismatched compiler will be compatible with your kernel, you
may wish to abort installation, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler used to compile your kernel, and restart
installation.
If you can’t switch to vt and have to reboot, please run
sudo journalctl -b-1 --no-pager |grep gdm-x-session >gdm.txt
sudo journalctl -b-1 --no-pager |grep kernel >kernel.txt
I installed the services from the link above
But nothing has changed
New logs immediately after restarting the video
sudo dmesg >dmesg2.txt.log dmesg2.txt.log (76.9 KB)
sudo journalctl -b0 --no-pager |grep gdm-x-session >gdm2.txt.log gdm2.txt.log (368.4 KB)
No errors visible in the logs.
Just a note: setting modes/orientation/whatever through the nvidia-settings application is not wise on Gnome. Gnome has its own monitor manager that gets easily confused if monitor settings gets altered by any other application like nvidia-settings or xrandr.
I tried to set a 100% scale not only on monitors but also on the laptop itself
Indeed, after the reboot, the location of the monitors was preserved, all the windows are working correctly and for 30 minutes I have not been observing the graphics restart.
But it’s very difficult to work on a 17-inch laptop screen with a resolution of 3840 (
As soon as I wrote the message above the sreens restarted again without any reason. However, the screen layout settings remained the same. dmesg3.txt.log (76.4 KB) gdm3.txt.log (283.7 KB)
I don’t know where this comes from, but something set some mad nvidia metamodes. Did you use nvidia-setting again or do you have some service or plugin installed that does that?
I set the scale on the laptop screen again to 200% and again the window elements ceased to be displayed and the arrangement of the screens ceased to be remembered.
And one of the PL3288UH monitors does not start after login. You need to disconnect the hdmi and reconnect it
