Yes, the .run drivers from Nvidia.
It only happens on a reboot, not while I'm using it, and only maybe once a month, but it's still annoying because I have to ssh in to reinstall the drivers every time.
And here I was all hyped that AMD would be my savior. I hope you're wrong!!
I'll find out for myself the next time I upgrade and I switch the current AMD card that I'm using on my Windows PC into the ubuntu system.
- oynqr 4y agoUsing the driver from their site is the number one way to fuck up your system. There has got to be an nvidia package on Ubuntu.
- brokenmachine 4y agoIn my experience the ubuntu nvidia packages were hopeless, I forget exactly what it was but I think even basic stuff like hardware video decoding was not working. Anyway just basic stuff wasn't working and IIRC the GPU fans would stay at 100% all the time. Just terribly broken. I'm overall happy with the .run drivers from the site except when they come up at the wrong resolution and need reinstalling as I described.
- lmm 4y ago> Yes, the .run drivers from Nvidia. If you're manually installing them outside of Ubuntu package management then you need to reinstall them every time you upgrade your kernel. (This is a design decision by Linux to make life harder for closed source drivers, there's nothing Nvidia can do about it)
