nottheengineer,

Nvidia driver updates break things all the time. Just rollback and wait a few weeks before you try updating again.

No they don’t.

nottheengineer,

Which distro and GPU? I’ve had a terrible experience with my 1070 Ti across Windows, kubuntu and arch and I didn’t even try Wayland.

lemmyvore,

I’m on Manjaro with an 1660. Never had any issues.

Open a X terminal, and type: nvidia-settings

Go to the screens menu, disable the monitor, accept, enable it again and accept…

Happened on mines, a 200Hz one and it worked!

The new kernel driver 545 is constantly throwing error on cold boot. It will reach a workable desktop though.

If I reboot after the cold boot, the driver loads normally without error.

This is the first time I see information at startup about the nVidia driver loading.

Edit: I’ll just buy a AMD card next time and be done with this crap.

Also on a side note, I can’t even logon to a Wayland session, like ever. The desktop is black with only the cursor and after a couple of seconds Kwin always crashes.

I’ll stay on x11 for now.

Potajito,

The 545 drivers are very buggy, at least for me. I downgraded to 535,hopefully we get an usable 545 soon. Also, if you feel like it you can report the issue in the nvidia forums, it might get some visibility there.
