Thanks for the feedback, Sebastien. Question, I read that Nvidia has a new driver V555 in the works, which together with Gnome 46.1 will fix explicit sync issues under Wayland, resolving a number of outstanding glitches and bugs when gaming via Steam under wayland. When the time has come, will Ubuntu be offering that new version as well via the driver selection tool or will we stick to V550? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-drivers-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2062967 Title: ubuntu-drivers no longer offers nvidia 550 drivers Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: While I am unclear which package update impacted the video drivers detected by ubuntu-drivers, the nvidia 545 and nvidia 550 video drivers are no longer shown as an option on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 video card.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2062967] Re: ubuntu-drivers no longer offers nvidia 550 drivers
Update: I just upgraded to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and still no 550 drivers available. Before upgrading to 24.04 I tried installing the driver version 545 on Ubuntu 23.10 via the driver tool and immediately got hit by a dependency error and at some point the installation just froze. I decided to install 24.04 freshly from scratch after this. Nvidia driver installation really has to be worked on when installing via the additional drivers tool. It's lacking newer drivers and it's too unstable when doing anything above the tested driver set. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-drivers-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2062967 Title: ubuntu-drivers no longer offers nvidia 550 drivers Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: While I am unclear which package update impacted the video drivers detected by ubuntu-drivers, the nvidia 545 and nvidia 550 video drivers are no longer shown as an option on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 video card.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2062967] Re: ubuntu-drivers no longer offers nvidia 550 drivers
Agreed. I recently installed Ubuntu 23.10 after some absence and the first thing noted is the Nvidia drivers 535 are the default / tested version in the preinstalled driver tool app, and while that's fine, the newer version 550 is missing completely. Please add 550 both the proprietary and as open kernel module. IIRC on Ubuntu 22.04.4 version 550 open was available but only as a server edition (or was it 23.10?). In addition, please make sure that switching between graphic drivers via the driver tool is safe. I say this because I was switching back and forth between Ubuntu LTS and 23.10 for testing purposes (separate hard drives), and the last time I switched to 545 via the driver tool app, it showed me an error window without error message and wouldn't install. After a reboot Ubuntu just freezed with a blinking cursor. Now I read what Jack posted above and understand why this is happening, but a normal user just wanting to switch drivers won't understand what's going on. This isn't the first time these things happen either.
