Tried to boot back into the external nvme drive without luck, it said no bootable device found.
Referting back to the nvidia 555.xxx update the system crashed and rebooted. I have no idea what happend, everything started after the updates system 76 put through .
So i still have mixed feelings about this, should i format a 4tb drive for linux and play save and keep windows on the other 4tb or should i go full for linux or stay on windows. I hate the path Microsoft is going, but i also dislike stuff breaking that fast
I mean, you can simply use it as a Dual-Boot System. There is no Reason for hurry, or is it? I have a Dual-Boot system with Windows 10 and have Time until October 2025. That is my Deadline. And I don't hurry myself with it, too. The only Decision I made is, that I want to switch to Linux.
If You shouldn't have a Deadline, I think there is no reason that You have to force You. Simply take Your Time and test.
I using all 3 types operating system linux,macOS and windows and I enjoyed with them all.
Of course not all working on them but if something not working on one operating system then I jump to another without problematics things how I resolve that.
Actually i am not planning on dual boot, i want to be windows free. Now i am thinking to use
4tb for linux and 4tb for windows (just in case)
Anyway i am going to flash Pop OS on a internal drive this week. Everything was working fine so far. Yesterday however my os got corrupted after updates. I suspect the controller from the external case had issues (probably during heat). When booted into windows to check the drive slowed down my entire system. So it’s not a linux thing, but the fault of the external drive or the usb port (which has sometimes issues as well in windows and i forgot about it because i tried to void that one for over a year). Sometimes that port does not respond great or slow down the system when something is plugged.
If Pop! OS fails (which i dont think) i might try Endevour OS
My wife had the same black screen of death as like i had yesterday. She is also using Pop! OS and did the nvidia updates 2 days ago. The screen went black and did not get turned on after a hour. Same thing happend yesterday with mine when i was away from keyboard for +/- 2 hours.
I am pretty sure now it has to do with the nvidia drivers.
So i added these 2 things, it seems it does work for users who got those blackscreens during suspend or did not use the computer for a while. Let's hope this fixes it.
Well the blackscreen came back but it fixed it self after +/- 5-10 seconds. Journalctl logs shows this (@Aravisian, @Storm ). Anything that makes sense to you 2 ?
I do not see anything in each of those screenshots that relates to a cause for a blanking screen. Can you please post a reminder:
Which Nivida card you are using?
Confirm if on the 6.9 kernel.
Which Nvidia driver you are using.
Whether Mesa and Cuda are installed?
I see a monitor connected using Display Port. Is this a notebook computer with built in screen or Desktop PC? Any HDMI's connected?
(Yes, there are many warnings or 'errors' about lid switch, keyboard layout, printer - all of this can be ignored for now).
Your Notebook monitor is connected using the internal Display Port. - in yours DFP-5
The GPU must connect to the motherboard, and this requires a connection. Whether exterior on a PC with a port you access with one hand, or internal of a notebook computer that you access with disassembly, cussing and four hands.
It will still use a DP or HDMI or other. That's the programming, not necessarily the exact appearance of the plug.
This explains the lack of a log entry.
This is particular to the Nvidia 560 driver and behaviors within the card communicating with the motherboard > Display monitor. I can only recommend using a different driver until Nvidia fixes their latest driver.
Nvidia drivers are a lot like a stray dog. They look cute, and may seem nice at first glance. But never trust them.
You need to do some observation and testing, first.
I am on 555. It, too, has the CPU Dump. Nvidia wants to be perceived as having the best performance, so they keep looking for ways of diverting processing for the GPU onto the CPU causing Overheating. Motivated by the idea that reputation can earn them sales, this causes a back and forth with a release causing the CPU overheating and the next not. Then the next causing overheating again. They persist.
I went ahead and underclocked my CPU to mitigate this effect.
Other than that. I have had no other issues on 555.
So the black screen problem seems to have been fixed with the stuff i posted above. But a new problem accurs. When i put my laptop in suspend mode and login again to the machine. After 15 seconds of not touching the keyboard the screen becomes black, when i move the mouse it is working fine. I googled a bit again and came across this command from a Pop OS dev.
xset s off && xset -dpms
Is it possible to make that setting permanent ? because after each reboot i have to open terminal to fix the issue
