Yes I mentioned it in this thread. It was one of the consequences of the update. Freezes just when starting the graphical interface and when trying to shut down the computer. It is totally frozen, you cannot even enter tty1.

I currently have the system restored to the previous version via timeshift, before updating. I'm going to wait for the nvidia-prime 8.15.3 ~ 0.20.10.1 package on linux mint 20.0 to be officially released.

If the problem continues after updating at that time, I will collect all the logs and command results mentioned here.

New updates for nvidia-prime and nvidia-settings officially appeared, so I made a restore point and did an update to the latest version.

After updating, all the initially mentioned problems returned. As soon as I restarted, it froze. I forced it off and restarted, and it froze again.

I attach images of the places where I was frozen the first and second time.

After the third attempt to start and I was able to get in, here are the results of the commands:

I don't know if these logs consider the freezes that occurred to me before finally being able to enter linux mint. Now I restored to the previous point.

The newest nvidia-settings package update also appears to by buggy, at least for Optimus-based laptops. After installing it and rebooting, I also got a screen freeze after the grub boot menu selection, and got the same freeze trying to enter Recovery mode to make any changes. Here is the message I saw in this bad cell phone pic:

I ran a live session using the Mint installation USB to chroot into the broken installation. After removing nvidia-settings, switching to the Intel GPU, and updating the initramfs, I was able to boot without the freeze. I installed an older version of nvidia-settings using Synaptic.

At least I had no problem updating nvidia-settings.

In fact, I also updated nvidia-prime to the latest version and have had no problems. But ubuntu-drivers-common I have it in the letter list, since the latest version of that package is the one that gives problems with freezes and deactivations of the nvidia gpu.

I also have in blacklist the updates of grub2 packages, since the freezes when selecting the OS in the grub, I think it may be due to the latest version of this. I don't think nvidia ubuntu-drivers-common is the cause here, although I don't rule it out as it freezes when clicking on the OS grub options.

This is the official list of ubuntu-drivers-common errors?

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs ... id&start=0

Will my problem be related to one of the list?

Unlike your system, I was able to update the nvidia-prime and ubuntu-drivers-common packages without any freezing problem, but after doing those udpdates, the freezing occurred after updating nvidia-settings.

I looked over all the info you posted and did not find any obvious problem, so some incompatibility with your particular hardware may be at fault.

All those ubuntu-drivers-common bug reports in your link appear to be older versions than the one that started your problem.

I understand, they are different problems.

In my case, with the logs that I delivered previously, can the possible cause be found?

You would have to upload the Xorg.0.log and dmesg logs in tty1 or Recovery Mode after the freezing occurs after particular updates, but that’s only for freezing at the desktop or later in the startup process. If the freezing is similar to what I got, which is immediately upon restart, then you won’t be able to enter tty1 or Recovery Mode.

As a last resort, you could try testing kernel parameters which may help with hardware compatibility issues.

Use this command to open the grub file for editing: xed admin:///etc/default/grub
Change this line:

Code: Select all

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

To this:

Code: Select all

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=! \"acpi_osi=Windows 2009\""

Then update grub and reboot: sudo update-grub

Then you would have to do the package updates.

If that parameter doesn’t work, the try changing 2009 to 2015.

Or use this:

Code: Select all

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=1 acpi_osi=! \"acpi_osi=Windows 2009\""

Other options are to check for a BIOS/UEFI update, test other Nvidia drivers and kernels newer than 5.8.

Of course. It freezes me at various points before starting mint. It freezes me in a way that not even the keyboard responds. I must forcibly shut down the computer.

What is "acpi_osi" for? If I do, there may be a problem where I can't get back into linux and have to reinstall everything again?

In the linux mint update application, kernel 5.8 appears as the latest version. How can I safely update to a version more current than 5.8 and have it detect my 2 gpu - (intel / nvidia). I ask about dkms or some conflict with the mint updater system.

zimudec · Post by **zimudec** » Sun Sep 12, 2021 12:39 pm

Tried updating all packages, even ubuntu-drivers-common to version 1.9, then mint 20.2.

Testing, I saw that it no longer freezes on boot, but there are some annoying problems:

When waiting a while (it can be 1 min), and then opening nvidia configuration from prime applet, it does not open immediately. It takes a few seconds, and then in the "PowerMizer" section, "Performance Level" appears on level 3 for a few seconds, that is, overclock is applied.
When I wait 1 minute, and open the screen settings (ctrl + alt + P), it does not open immediately. It takes a few seconds to open.
When starting a game with nvidia-optimus-offload-glx, there are times that it uses the integrated intel GPU instead of the dedicated nvidia (I noticed this because of the poor performance).

That is, apparently the system has trouble turning on the nvidia gpu on several occasions. Even in many it does not manage to turn it on, and ends up using the integrated gpu.

I tried downgrading ubuntu-drivers-common to 1.8.1 from synaptic package manager, rebooted, but problem persists. Apparently the problem may no longer be just ubuntu-drivers-common. I do not know the source of the problem currently.

I did a test, and the gpu does not seem to deactivate. That problem must have been a bug in a specific version of proton with a game.

Regarding the other problem, I started the command nvidia-smi dmon, and it gives me the following:

Code: Select all

$ nvidia-smi dmon
# gpu   pwr gtemp mtemp    sm   mem   enc   dec  mclk  pclk

There you can see that after waiting between 30 and 60 seconds, I executed the command, it took a few seconds and you can see that the gpu started doing an automatic overclock for a few seconds, and then it returned to normal.

This seems to be a symptom of something else. For now I have no major problem. I will do more tests.
