Pop!_OS crashes on suspend after updating to Nvidia 560 drivers.
Pop!_OS crashes on suspend after updating to Nvidia 560 drivers.
I updated my graphics drivers from nvidia 470 to nvidia 560 due to issues running certain games. It's fixed my gaming issue but reintroduced the problem that kept me from updating for so long.
After setting my computer to "suspend," it wakes up to this screen on all monitors. I am unable to scroll up or type further commands, my only option is to reboot the machine.
- My graphics card is: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 [GeForce GTX 1070]
- Nvidia driver version: 560.35.03
- My desktop environment is Cinnamon X11. (This does not occur on Wayland, but there is no Cinnamon Wayland.)
I can't make heads or tails of this error screen. The best I can understand is the "Fixing recursive fault but reboot is required!" line. How can I get more information? Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? Thanks in advance.
Edit: It seems important to mention this is happening only on X11 (Pop default and Cinnamon), and not on Pop!_OS on Wayland.
Have the same gpu and had same issue give me a second to find the solution again.
Now back at PC:
Right so i searched for a while back when i got those issues and the only solution that really worked for me was installing 550 instead. Idk how PopOS / ubuntu does things. So doing this could be easy or super fucking annoying.
depending on the repo you are using for the nvidia driver, you might be able to specify the driver version during install like so:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-550I am on debian12 and installing from repo didnt work for me as there were lots of dependencies that had version conflicts. I ended up installing it with the .run file which is really tedious.
Im gonna be honest tho the chance that this will fix your issue is not that high. Nvidia problems are so fucking diverse and could be due to any number of specific system component and package combinations. But if its already broken, might as well try right?
So after installing it I see:
nvidia-driver-550 is already the newest version (560.35.03-1pop0~1729800494~22.04~4a3cad6)So 550 is there, but it's using 560. I assume that means I need to purge all traces of 560 and 550 and then reinstall 550, unless I can specify somewhere to use 550.
However in software and updates there is no 550, only 560.
Oh man, so Pop!_OS has a "pop shop" where it officially supports 470 and 560. 550 isn't on there so, while I could try it, I wouldn't expect it to work.
In "Software and Updates" I have options for the "NVIDIA driver metapackages" for 390, 470, and 560. 560 is currently selected. I also have the NVIDIA server driver metapackage for 535, so I could try that. It would be newer than 470 but not as current as 560.
But since the chances this would fix it are already low (and 560 drivers fixed my other issues), I'm hesitant to try unless I exhaust every other option.
hmm okay i dont really know anything about pop_os, but yeah it seems that it doesnt like it if you install stuff outside of its pre selected set of packages. my next GPU will definitely be an AMD one, nvidia is just a mess.
well good luck then i guess 🫤
550 for the gtx 1070
Nvidia drivers? Good luck friend
If you don't find a fix, just try switching to the other display protocol. It might help.
Cinnamon on mint has an option to log in using Wayland.
Where you type your login/password (mint uses light-dm as the login window) there is a small icon/avatar to the right. Clicking that gives the DE options:
- Cinnamon
- Cinnamon 2D
- Cinnamon Wayland (experimental)
Since pop is Ubuntu based you could try the Ubuntu ppa (there are other nvidia tips here, too)

And, here's the 550 download directly from nvidia
Hey thank you! I'll give this a shot tomorrow. I think my install uses GDM, not light-dm? I have Cinnamon but not Cinnamon Wayland in my list.
But I'll try the 550 drivers for sure!
does system76 not provide support for things like this?
Not unless you buy their hardware
it hadn't occurred to me that someone would use their distro w/o the hardware.
i bought from a system76 rival w their own distro too so that i can avoid situations like this and lemmy is teaching me how lazy and out of touch it's made me; op's smart to use a distro from a linux company that maintains its own distro with it's own paid developers because there's a stronger chance that there's an answer in their forum, compared to some obscure distro maintained by volunteers with day jobs.
