Anyone else having this issue? I just updated through Discovery and it auto installed 580. Taskbar froze up, but everything else worked fine. I had to purge nvidia drivers, reinstall 550, and reboot. Now I’m on X.Org Nouveau. Pretty sure I was on Nvidia 570 prior to this but I don’t know how to go back, still new to this Linux stuff haha

Edit: Ok, I was able to get back on 570 with software sources (kept getting an error before). 580 is still borked for me though (says proprietary and tested). Do I just wait for the next update?

    I don’t know if it’s the same in Ubuntu Studio, but in Ubuntu and derivates you can launch sudo software-properties-gtk or sudo software-properties-qt from a terminal. In the window that appears, choose the tab ‘Additional Drivers’. There you can choose the Nvidia graphic drivers you prefer among older and newer versions. Good way to roll back.

    Apologies if this was obvious 🙏

      Just wanted to jump back in and mention I tried 580 again, same thing. I was able to launch software sources from the terminal with this. Thanks!

            Thanks for asking. I think I’ve had it for a week, and luckily no issues so far. I use it sparsely though, I always have on-demand mode. But I imagine Ubuntu Studio has important differences from Ubuntu?

              I’m not sure, what’s on demand mode? I had to roll back to 550 and get plasmashell freezing. 570 wouldn’t play video in my video editing program. Might try going to Nouveau and see how that works
