after trying to install the right drivers and resetting with Timeshift many rounds, i gave up to search for solutions since it feels it is only getting worse and worse.
I own a HP Zbook G3 and this is equiped with a Dedicated NVIDIA GK106GLM [Quadro K2100M], by default it runs the Open Source Nouveau Driver (as shown in the driver Manager) alltough i doesnt start the graphics card i forg true, because the video performance is often catastrophic ( i am running Live Video Mixing Software).
I am on Linux Mint 20.02 64-bit and i additionally installed the KDE Plasma Desktop and the Ubuntu Studio Package this also installs the lowlatency kernels which I dont use.
Generally I experienced problems with random freezes of the GUI, but the mouse was still moveable. Then I found out, that when I boot another Kernel the Problem vanishes, so i downgraded the Kernel permanently to 5.4.0-74-generic.
When I am trying to install the Nvidia Drivers no matter if it is threw the Driver Manager I run into problems Cinnamon crashed(displayed message) and it didnt work; for example immediately after installing the 390 nvidia driver. Now I already have Plasma which doesnt display a message of crashing but just doesnt work, i cant login the login surface never appears when I log into the system with the terminal and then startx, it is frozen with moveable mouse.
I would really love to run that Graphics Card to unleash the full potential of this Mint Setup.
When i type inxi -Fxxxrz , it doesnt show a Graphics driver in use for the Nvidia Card alltough in the driver manager it is displayed as the Nouveau Driver running.
