@Bubby apologies for not including this! I've edited my OP to include the specs.

I would suspect this first.
We lately have several members having problem in interaction between integrated GPU and discrete GPU.

Pull up terminal and type this: sudo apt update & sudo apt upgrade

@FrenchPress is there a way to disable the Intel HD Graphics so that only my GPU is active?

7

@Bubby I went ahead and ran the commands exactly as you provided.

Foolishly, I restarted my computer without pasting the output :sob:

There were definitely some packages that appear to have been updated. Not a lot, but a few. I don't recall anything specific though.

Could you tell me which version of NVidia driver you are using?
I remember some members did have some issue with 470 (propitiatory, tested) driver. I am OK with this driver since I have no integrated GPU.

10

after update (and I know it's early to tell) is things working better?

11

I believe he stated 495

12

I missed that :sweat_smile:
So the drive is not the issue.

Or XFCE :mouse2:

Indeed. It is a matter of one's taste.
I mentioned XFCE since @Aravisian is expert at it :slight_smile:

@FrenchPress thank you for the link, I'll take a look and see if this GPU switcher makes any difference.

And as @Bubby confirmed, it is the nvidia-driver-495 (proprietary) version which is installed :slightly_smiling_face:

@Bubby yes to early to tell if the problem is fixed, but it has been happening consistently every day for the last week... so I think if I can go a full day of work tomorrow without freezing, I'll be throwing a celebration! :partying_face: Will report back my results.

@337harvey I will look into the tutorial you referenced - thanks for the suggestion. I will hold off however until I can confirm the freeze is still happening after performing the update + upgrade that @Bubby suggested. I will report back if/when I switch DE.

Thanks again to everyone for jumping in to offer advice so quickly! :pray:

And you say we think more of your abilities than your abilities actually support. :wink:

Are logitech mouses known to cause issues? I also have a logitech mouse and have been having identical issues to OP

22

I asked the O.P. of this thread if he is using a Logitech mouse in response to the libinput error he had also gotten. It is probably unrelated to the GPU issue.
The libinput error is also likely to be a False Alarm rather than anything to worry about.

23

@Bubby unfortunately the freeze did occur again :sob:

@Aravisian yes I do in fact have a Logitech mouse (MX Master 2S wirelessly connected via the USB Receiver).

I did somewhat recently install logiops to regain functionality of the thumb "gesture" button. As a precaution, I've just gone ahead and:

  1. Disabled the logiops service
  2. Went through and deleted all the installed files (that I am aware of at least)

I will see if doing that has an effect. I have kept Solaar installed however.

Unfortunately I do not have another mouse to test on (that wouldn't also be Logitech at least).

Dear beefchimi,

Just for the info;
I use the same mouse (MX Master 2S wireless). I use dual boot added the drivers from within Windows with the logitech app. After booting into Linux it all worked ok. I did not install the logiops service or Solaar, so I did not reassign the buttons.

Can't say the same about the gpu of course, but mine is an Intel Graphics as follows.

But reading the information you provided could it be that you installed extensions which could cause these frictions?
