Hey,
after the very recent patch (488MB~) my Nvidia drivers are not signed/recognized by my system and hence it falls back to the onboard driver.
I think i need to reinstall it via terminal but wanted to share for bug fixing notes.
any knowledge of why that happens?
even when i want to log back in, there is only wayland and x11 is not useable (u can set it but it does nothing)
When you say "signed", this implies it is not passing MOK enrollment.
Which would be an unusual case.
Do you have Secure Boot Enabled, enrolled MOK and then, an update gave an error that says Nvidia is unsigned?
Or... Is Nvidia DKMS failing to find a module for the latest kernel?
i mean, BEFORE the upgrade, all worked fine, the latest nvidia-driver-580 was installed and also you could see how fluent the system is (see image)
RIGHT AFTER the upgrade, after rebooting, the system uses wayland, 60hz (which you can feel in the unsmoothiness when you move the mouse) and how laggy browser and the programs opens.
Even when I try to re-enable x11, which i can by logging out, but it stays the same, so idk...
i should have not set signed, idk what is going wrong but sure is that my drivers are not being recognized anymore after the upgrade!
In terminal, please run the following to disable Wayland.
sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
Arrow key to #WaylandEnable=false and remove the hashtag to uncomment it:
WaylandEnable=false
Tap ctl+o to overwrite, then enter key to save configuration. Tap ctl+x to eXit the editor.
Now, remove remnants completely and install Nvidia driver
sudo apt remove --purge '^nvidia-.*' '^libnvidia-.*'
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update && sudo apt install nvidia-driver-580 nvidia-dkms-580
Reboot and test, if you get no errors reported in the terminal above.
