Public bug reported: ## Environment - Ubuntu 26.04 (Resolute Raccoon) - development branch - Kernel: 7.0.0-10-generic (PREEMPT_DYNAMIC) - GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (PCI ID: 0x2d05) - Driver: nvidia-driver-580-open 580.126.09-0ubuntu9 - Desktop: GNOME Shell (Mutter 50.0) on Wayland - CPU: AMD (12 cores) - RAM: 75 GiB
## Problem The system experiences frequent full freezes (mouse, keyboard, alt-tab all unresponsive) and gnome-shell crashes that drop to GDM login screen. This happens randomly during normal use. Ubuntu 26.04 removed the GNOME X11 session, so there is no workaround via session switching. WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf has no effect since there is no X11 session to fall back to. ## Symptoms 1. Full system freeze - all input unresponsive for several seconds 2. Screen goes black, then returns to GDM lock/login screen 3. gnome-shell crashes with: `(EE) failed to read Wayland events: Broken pipe` 4. Chrome GPU process failures: `GPU process launch failed: error_code=1002` followed by `GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye.` (FATAL) ## Relevant log entries ### nvidia-powerd fails (RTX 5060 unsupported) ``` nvidia-powerd[1810]: ERROR! Running on an unsupported system (PCI device Id: 0x2d05) ``` ### gnome-shell crash sequence ``` gnome-shell[291202]: (EE) failed to read Wayland events: Broken pipe update-notifier[289909]: Error reading events from display: Broken pipe gdm-password][289234]: pam_unix(gdm-password:session): session closed for user roach ``` ### Chrome GPU crash ``` google-chrome.desktop[114705]: GPU process launch failed: error_code=1002 google-chrome.desktop[114705]: FATAL:content/browser/gpu/gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc:417] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye. ``` ## Additional notes - NVIDIA 595.58.03 reportedly fixes "Wayland desktop freezes" by improving fallback to system memory when VRAM is low, but 595 is not yet available in Ubuntu repositories. - RTX 5060 Ti users report the same issue persists on 590.48 driver: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/rtx-5060-ti-freezes-hangs-with-590-48-driver/356335 - Multiple users report Wayland crashes since driver 580: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/random-crashes-on-wayland-since-driver-580-on-linux/345527 ## Crash files Crash dump available at /var/crash/_usr_bin_gnome-shell.1000.crash (66MB) ## Steps to reproduce 1. Install Ubuntu 26.04 with NVIDIA RTX 5060 and nvidia-driver-580-open 2. Use the default Wayland GNOME session 3. Normal desktop usage (browser, terminal, etc.) 4. System will freeze intermittently, sometimes followed by gnome-shell crash to GDM ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-580 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: freeze gnome-shell nvidia wayland ** Attachment added: "combined-logs.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2147006/+attachment/5957518/+files/combined-logs.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2147006 Title: System freeze and gnome-shell crash on Ubuntu 26.04 with NVIDIA 580 driver (RTX 5060) on Wayland To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-580/+bug/2147006/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
