I have a brand new System76 Oryx Pro running Ubuntu 24.04 running on a Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 370. Fresh install 1 weeks or so ago. I am using the NVIDIA UNIX Open Kernel Module for x86_64 v 595.58.03.
On every boot I get these log messages: - NVRM: invalid 43 structure size! - NVRM: Failed to get memory pages for NvKmsKapiMemory - NVRM: Flip event timeout on head 0 * I cannot run a second external monitor using USB-C connector - the system crashes on startup * With one external monitor on the HDMI port and the laptop monitor the system crashes several times a day. Keyboard and mouse stop working and I have to power off to get the system back. * There are intermittent "soft crashes" where the mouse cursor cannot move between monitors, it is stuck on the primary monitor. The logs show that Mutter's cursor barrier state - the compositor - loses track of where the cursor is allowed to travel between monitors. The "fix" is to use a system lock/unlock to get the mouse back. * Firefox rapidly consumes 300-400% of the cpu when opening a google search page, and then the system crashes. Same with Typora, Chrome, KiCad, etc. System76 suggested using the NVIDIA nvidia-driver-580-open. - NVRM: invalid 43 structure size! - fixed - Still lots of "soft crashes" requiring lock/unlock dance - Firefox still spins up to 300% and has to be killed to prevent a more drastic crash - Fan running all the time and very loud - Less frequent crashes, but still happening I have slowly disabled the NVIDIA GPU in an attempt to bring some stability to my system. - ~/.local/share/applications/typora_typora.desktop --disable-gpu - chrome://settings → System → turn hardware acceleration off - ~/.local/share/applications/firefox.desktop, replace all occurrences of Exec=firefox %u with Exec=env DRI_PRIME=pci-0000_c4_00_0 firefox %u - ~/.config/environment.d/dri-prime.conf contains DRI_PRIME=pci-0000_c4_00_0 - I still get firefox spinning up to 300% and crashing the system if I don't kill it fast enough, random "soft crashes", fan spinning up to high speed, then back down after a few minutes with just a few tabs and apps open. I finally just disabled the NVIDIA GPU altogether. * /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf: blacklist nvidia blacklist nvidia_drm blacklist nvidia_modeset blacklist nvidia_uvm blacklist nvidia_nvlink install nvidia /bin/false install nvidia_drm /bin/false install nvidia_modeset /bin/false install nvidia_uvm /bin/false install nvidia_nvlink /bin/false The system is stable now and running without any crashes and Firefox still spins the fan up a bit, and then settles down. Is anyone else having issues with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 8GB GDDR7 On Ubuntu 24.04 using the NVIDIA nvidia-driver-580-open on Ubuntu 24.04? All System76 has to offer is "reinstall the OS", which I have done to no avail. Has anyone else noticed that System76 support has lost its "edge"? Years ago it used to be staffed with, to me anyway, real Linux gurus who could fix most problems. Lots of back and forth with "run these commands and give the results" to slowly converge on the solution. Nowadays, the suggestion I hear the most is "re-install the OS". I am thinking of returning the Oryx Pro and trying a "base system" Framework 16 with the Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 370 and without the NVIDIA GPU, since that is basically what I have now. I can try the NVIDIA GPU (12 GB) in a few months when I need it for a project to see if the drivers have settled down. Thanks! Mark
