Trouble after nvidia driver update

Post by pfredi »

Hello.
After recent nvidia driver update, having trouble with simple operations like copy and paste between 2 different applications. They become very slow or frozen.
And when I try to shutdown, the system always frozens and I have to use the button for doing it.
I’m using LMDE 4 Debbie, Cinnamon Version 4.6.7, Linux Kernel 4.19.0-12-amd64, lenovo ideapad530S, processor Intel© Core™ i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz × 4, 16 GB memory, 256GB SSD, intel Corporation UHD Graphics 620, GeForce MX150.
If I try a double click on options / nvidia, nothing happens.
Thanks in advance for any idea to solve that.

cretsiah please open a fresh thread in the main support section for your fresh XFCE 20 install. The post above yours is about LMDE4 and switchable graphics in a laptop.
I’ll tell you a DNS joke but be advised, it could take up to 24 hours for everyone to get it.
