I have just upgraded to the new Nvidia 535 drivers (535.54.03) on my
three main Ubuntu 22.04 systems, all using Nvidia GT1030 cards. The
535.54 drivers are supposed to be the latest production drivers, but
they seem to be quite buggy. I have run up against two serious
problems so far:
1) When the drivers installed, during the installation process, the
screen went blank. I also tried the Ctrl-Alt-Fx console screens and
they were not working either. My monitor just said it was not getting
any signal. So something from the new drivers was interfering with
the old ones still running from RAM, before the reboot was done. I
had to reboot using an ssh login, and that crashed a VM I was running
on one system. So if you do want to try these drivers, I would
recommend manually shutting down all VMs and all programs first. After
rebooting the video came up normally.
2) Two of the machines were using the VDPAU High Quality profile, and
they were able to play recordings normally. But one was set to NVDEC
Normal profile, and its video from recordings and a couple of video
files was very distorted. It was possible to make out the outlines of
some things, but there were diagonal lines over everything. However,
the mythfrontend overlays over the video displayed properly. Testing
on one of the other boxes by changing it to NVDEC Normal produced the
same results. I am happy to use VDPAU High Quality for most things,
but there are some 2160p downloaded files that I have that will only
play using NVDEC Normal.
So until these problems get fixed, I would recommend not going beyond
the Nvidia 530 series drivers, which were working fine for me.
