Lots of points there: * The Nvidia GT 1030 is only around $100 if you shop around, but certainly don't spend any money unless you can afford it and really need to. I only suggested it because that's the cheapest way to get to Nvidia's latest 510 driver series, which may solve some bugs.
* You don't need to compile any kernels. Just download the pre-compiled packages from https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/v5.17.5/amd64/ * sox, pulseaudio, or any other high level sound issues are not directly relevant. What is relevant is to try with *nothing* playing sound so as to eliminate the possibility of the kernel sound modules being busy. * gsd-color[5002]: no xrandr-DVI-I-0 device found: Failed to find output xrandr-DVI-I-0 does not appear to be relevant. * Fprint / Fingerprint log messages are normal and not relevant. * Window manager warning: Overwriting existing binding is bug 1857392, also not relevant here. I think the next steps are: (a) test without any sound playing, particularly no web browser open; and (b) try a newer kernel like https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/v5.17.5/amd64/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1970072 Title: [nvidia] Frequent GPU Resets (and GUI Freeze) by gsd-media-keys Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: A fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04.4 has GUI freezes frequently (i.e., a dozen times daily) at inconsistent intervals and times, and not obviously in response to any particular user input. The system then is unresponsive to user input, although the mouse cursor does continue to move about. The syslog messages reveal the message from gsd-media-keys "[GFX1]: Device reset due to WR context" The freeze also is preceded by often hundreds of pulseaudio messages related to latency issues, notwithstanding that no audio is playing. Often, gdm-x-session messages appear referencing the NVIDIA GPU and "WAIT". The pulseaudio message "setting avail_min=87496" often is the last message and if not, one of the last, before the reboot. Also common before is a gnome-shell message "Ignored exception from dbus method: Gio.DBusError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name com.gonzaarcr.appmenu was not provided by any .service files", which precedes the pulseaudio messages. Happy to provide any other information but would welcome some guidance because I'm on day 11 or 12 of this installation and wearing out my welcome at Google.
