Since both of these packages were updated on my system (EndeavourOS), my second monitor randomly freezes. It’s plugged in HDMI on a Lenovo Legion 5 (RTX 3060).
I’m also using the nvidia-dkms driver (525.89.02).
Same issue here, both external monitors freeze randomly (seems somewhat related to when GPU/CPU is under heavy load). Levono ThinkPad P16 gen 1 and and ubuntu 22.04, driver version 525.85.12
Just had this bug again ~8min ago while playing Diablo IV. Nothing to see in dmesg this time, but my external monitor is completely frozen. nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (1.7 MB)
We have seen similar error logs internally on few setups and have been root caused as well.
I suspect it to be same issue, fix will be available in upcoming driver release.
Acer ConceptD Driver: 530.30.02 CUDA Version 12.1, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 running Xorg. I step away from my desk for more than 15 minutes and I come back to a frozen system. Getting extremely frustrated.
@amrits Would you take a look at this? Reported a few months ago, no response at all, but there’s a nvidia-bug-report log there.
I think my bug is related to this one. Screen just stays black after startx and if I kill X (via SSH) then the same “Idling display engine timed out” line begins to appear in dmesg.
I cannot upgrade my kernel any longer because the last working driver (520.56) doesn’t compile against newer kernels.
I am still on 515.105.01 and can confirm this bug exists on this version, but only when i play on Steam.
So i was going to upgrade to 530 as @amrits said that this bug will be fixed, but it seems like it isnt yet, since someone after that post reported they are still experiencing these issues.
I am also affected on a fresh install of Ubuntu 23.04 with a ThinkPad P1 gen6. All my external monitors are constantly freezing and I have the same “display engine timed out” error.
Here is my bug report: nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (388.4 KB)
Driver Version: 535.86.05 CUDA Version: 12.2.
Would also love any news/to help fix this issue if I can. I seem to be having the exact symptoms of richard.decal, in that my Lenovo P15 Gen 2 running Ubuntu 20.04.6 has recently started experiencing external monitors connected via lenovo dock freezing. I was running 535, downgraded to 525 and still see the nvidia-modeset: ERROR: GPU:0: Idling display engine timed out error. It seems to have lessened/stopped the freezing, but there are other performance bugs present in this version that I would like to avoid.
Edit:
I later came across this post:
And after running through the steps in the answer, I was able to access 545 through the Ubuntu ‘Software and Updates’ utility (Note that I WAS NOT able to install this via the CLI, at the step sudo apt install nvidia-driver-545 I encountered errors and had to use the GUI). So far, this at least seems to be more stable, as I have not encountered a monitor freeze in the time since the upgrade although I am still encountering the freezes.
