Sorry, I still can't reproduce this bug. I am using Nvidia 390.116 on disco with nvidia-drm.modeset=1. Actually, that combination instead just makes Xorg crash for me (bug 1822616).
If I apply the workaround for bug 1822616 and keep drm.modeset=1, I can log into Xorg sessions but experience no hangs at all. So there's something about our machines that is different. I have some theories: 1. The problem might be unique to PRIME, since you are using Intel and Nvidia GPUs simultaneously. I am only using Nvidia (otherwise my machine can't start up). 2. The problem might be unique to your newer GPU. I don't have anything like a 1050 that fits in my desktop. 3. Maybe you are hitting bug 1823516 (you should be). And for some reason it causes freezes on your machine, but not mine. I would expect bug 1823516 to overwhelm many machines :( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1823301 Title: [nvidia] Shell hangs up at random times when using nvidia- drm.modeset=1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1823301/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
