According to https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5202 , support for the 470 series ended at the end of last month. That page hasn't been updated in a long time, though, does anyone have any newer information?

@Alexey104: The most frequent and frustrating one is occurring several times a day; all the Plasma panels and widgets are frozen; sometimes I'm in the middle of either listening music or in a Teams or Meet call; UI will not respond at all, often even the cursor will be frozen as well - but the sound will continue without interruption. It takes 20s, 30s or more until the notification "Desktop effects were restarted due to a graphics reset" is shown, and then everything is normal again until the next one which can be 50s away or a couple of hours ...

I noticed that using a combination of browsers (Firefox and Chromium-based) seems to increase the chances of having a graphics reset.

The other freeze is due to how NFS waiting time is handled in combination with systemd. I have the same setup of the NFS server and the same hardware for years and things started to go bad more than a year ago. Now it manifests at startup - frozen panels and widgets and then notifications of random file-systems that "are not responding", altough I can access their contents from the conole perfectly fine.

I do not have reboots, though.

@SoftExpert, May I ask which desktop freezes you are referring to? I am asking because I’ve been experiencing hard freezes with spontaneous reboots myself, starting from kernel 6.7 up to the current mainline (no problems with LTS, though), and I am interested in learning more about similar issues.

SoftExpert commented on 2024-09-23 05:51 (UTC)

@drankinatty: We are lucky - for now: the official 6.11 (6.11.0) (official flavor, xanmod) is building fine the driver.

The desktop freeze is more and more frequent, though; I read that it has spread to more recent driver versions and it impacts more powerfull cards. I believe it is an unfortunate mix of kernel changes, resistance to these changes at the driver code plus some systemd quircks that are purposefully hard to isolate.

I think Nvidia is following other priorities - end-user sales are not bringing enough revenue to satisfy their appetite...

I will end up replacing my old and faithful laptop and I will stay away from Nvidia.

Minisforum here I go ... ;-)

Well, I'm cautiously optimistic we will have another minor version update to the kernel without a patch required like the 6.8 -> 6.9 update. I've been looking (see nvidia-390xx-utils 390.157-12) for a couple days and all I've uncovered is runtime issues on Fedora with green-screen problems, but no build time problems or patches in the normal spots (herecura git repository, nvidia dev forums, etc..). Fingers crossed.

The 6.11 kernel release is getting closer; on my side, I could compile the nvidia-470xx modules without any additional change - latest RC at this time is RC7.

Is this the case four you also ?

Finally, we have a patch that works !

Big thank you to philmmanjaro who posted the patch on the NVidia forum.

With this patch I build successfully the kernel modules on:

  • 6.6.41

  • 6.9.10

  • 6.10

Hopefully it works for all of you out there ..

Heads-up: kernel 6.10 does not play nice with our current driver version (470.256.02); I'm still evaluating the patch required to make it work.

Update: a post on Nvidia forum has been created, in search of a solution.

@SoftExpert it works actually. Now my system doesnt crash when it goes sleep with the stremio/vlc is open
