[Aravisian]

Yes, after the last fi.

Thanks,

I rebooted, did a test putting in suspend. Screen became fully black. Going to wipe the 560 driver now. It's not fixable. Well so far i did everything i could

Going to wipe the 560 driver now. It's not fixable.

urm... That would have been the very first thing I did...
You have far more patience than I do.

[anon96359095]

I tried and guess what, Pop! OS removed the 555 driver entirely. When i install the 555.xxx driver it auto installs 560.

So what i did now to prefend black screens, turned off this setting

Everytime the screen get stuck at black screen is around pause mode. Now it does not anymore since it's turned off and i never use pause mode anyway (never did in windows either).

I also edited the /etc/systemd/logind.conf file and changed it to this. So the lid wont use suspend anymore

HandleSuspendKey=ignore
HandleHibernateKey=ignore
HandleLidSwitch=ignore
HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=ignore

When i install the 555.xxx driver it auto installs 560.

See... that is the kind of thing I cannot tolerate. As the end user, I Know my reasons for not upgrading a package.

What about seeint an apt mark-hold on the nvidia-driver-560?

[Storm]

No 555 is now a meta/transition package. Another option is to add ubuntu driver ppa.

[anon96359095]

Well i have to reinstall anyway, the external drive i used was for testing purpose anyway. It does not really matter, as long windows get deleted from the msi notebook.

The acer notebook i tested today with the black screens, they only appear in suspend mode. Turned it off for now, seems a bug in the driver since 555 did not had this issue.

First thing i already notice is the ■■■■■■ sound in Windows. During gaming i do notice alot of difference in sound already. How is it even possible Windows has worse sounds then linux has ?

560 release feedback & discussion

[Storm]

Yeah, many has complained about it.

[Storm]

I have moved my Cosmic DE alpha releases to upstream releases. I'm living on the edge now

[anon96359095]

So you use it as daily driver ?

[Storm]

Aye, though half of my games don't work due to Nvidia - but that soon will pass as I'm going to get me an AMD card next month.

[anon96359095]

Did you try downgrading to 550 ?

[Storm]

No I'm using 560.

[Storm]

My PopOS - cosmic DE upstream.

[anon96359095]

So i wiped windows completely, can someone tell me how i can hold the 560 update ? can i do that using synaptic ?

This does not work so it seems

[zenzen]

Are these available updates or already installed ones? You can check with:

apt list --upgradable | grep -i nvidia

NOTE: You do not need to use sudo while you are already switched to the root user account.

[anon96359095]

@zenzen

apt list --upgradable | grep -i nvidia

Available which i want to void, already tested those drivers before and got alot of issues with it.

[zenzen]

Try with the driver version that you currently have installed, then:

apt list --installed | grep -i nvidia

And run the apt-mark hold command on that version.

For this type of situations I think using Synaptic package manager might be better, as it's a graphical tool and is easier to see what is installed and what isn't. I think it can also be used to hold packages from updating.
