PayPalNVIDIA is currently investigating a bug where their drivers are crashing on modern kernels (6.10+). This appears to happen across drivers 550, 555 and even the latest 560.
From the troubleshooting data that can be found on the NVIDIA forums and the crashes I'm facing myself, this seems to be a regression that started with Linux kernel 6.10 and it affects users when suspension mechanism is triggered or some application is processing 3D. It affects both the closed and open NVIDIA drivers.
This happened on my computer recently, and it is really annoying. Example log:

Symptoms:
- Video gets choppy, and hiccups happen approximately every 45s.
- The game keeps playing while the video is frozen so, extra care if you are playing something on "hardcore mode". I've got killed twice playing Core Keeper and getting a freeze during a battle.
- After more than 30 minutes playing, the load average of the machine can spike to three digits without any sign of bottleneck.
top,iostat,vmstatorfreeshow no clear sign of system performance degradation. dmesggets flooded with similar stack trace messages.
Possible Solution:
- Use
linux-lts(6.6) with nvidia 550 and 555 modules.
NVIDIA is investigating the issue and more information can be found on the following forum threads:
- Nvidia driver kernel random call trace
- Multiple kernel oopses before suspending caused by nvidia-sleep.sh, Linux 6.10 regression? WARNING: CPU: PID: at include/linux/rwsem.h:80 follow_pte
There's links to other threads in the above with more people seeing the issues too.
From reports, it seems the latest NVIDIA 560 driver does not solve it.
Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
Speculating on the fact that the open and the closed ones are causing the aame issues and given that the userspace part of the driver "should" not crash the kernel by its own, maybe there is common code between the open and the closed drivers.
That's not speculation. Nvidia said as much from the beginning.
Though the kernel modules in the two flavors are different, they are based on the same underlying source code.
The open drivers just have any code removed that they could not relicense to MIT/GPL, such functions were rewritten or ported to the GSP.

Im having problems with the 535.183.01-0ubuntu0.24.04.1 driver that was in the mint update manager today...... Steam seems to play games fine but PCSX2 and Dolphin run slow and choppy with sound glitches....... So I guess Nvidia is just being sh*t as per usual.......
I'm on arch (btw), but are said emus installed as flatpaks? if so, you gotta sudo flatpak update as well and restart otherwise they won't detect ur GPU, at least that's the case with me

Yes they are installed as flatpaks...... While steam is native........Im having problems with the 535.183.01-0ubuntu0.24.04.1 driver that was in the mint update manager today......

so is the command
sudo flatpak updateIf so I get this
Looking for updates…

Proceed with these changes to the system installation? [Y/n]: Dunno if that looks right or not........
Sorry im not good at this.....

Hmm, have you tried just restarting your PC and trying again? Seems like there's no GPU updates there (org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-xx, etc) but I can't figure out what else would be your issue.
I need to restart in order for GPU to get detected by flatpaks again after update

Nothing to do.Thanks for trying though..... Least now I have a good idea of whats going on at least..........

Well its fixed now........ I had already installed the org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-xx but there was a problem with it and a new one JUST popped up in the mint update manager and now the flatpaks are working......
Thanks for your you knowledge mate :)
RTX 3060 Ti with 555 drivers
Fedora with Kernel 6.10.6-cb1 (CachyOS')

i haven't encountered any issues and have been running 6.10 and 560 drivers long time.
I also use my PC quite heavily every day and rarely shut it down. But i use X11 not wayland if thats also a difference i guess..
For me nvidia drivers have been incredibly stable since 545 at least... 530 had some regressions with some games iirc but after that its been smooth sailing for me
RTX 3080,Arch Linux, MATE desktop X11
Setting the file /etc/dracut.conf.d/nvidia-dracut-force.conf with
# https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dracut#Early_kernel_module_loading
force_drivers+=" nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm And running doas/sudo dracut --force --printsize --parallel --verbose makes the system not boot fully hanging on after LUKS password and some time after throwing a bunch of error/warning messages. BUT, even on Fedora 41/rawhide with kernel 6.11.xx it also happened.

this seems to be a regression that started with Linux kernel 6.10 and it affects users when suspension mechanism is triggered or some application is processing 3D
What does this mean? Like if I am running a game or maybe Blender and then simply put my system into standby? If so than I guess I know why I didn't ran into this issue as I never did this before.

This appears to happen across drivers 550, 555 and even the latest 560.
Yet again I am grateful for Debian Sid maintainers keeping me on the 535 line

Ditto for the Linux Mint maintainers. Also on the 535 line (at least, for LM 21 -- haven't upgraded to 22 yet).This appears to happen across drivers 550, 555 and even the latest 560.
