Well, that was probably the dumbest problem I've had in a while.

TL;DR: I updated from nvidia graphics driver 550 to 570 on my Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS gaming machine. Networking stopped working. A few google searches suggested that a few packages that were needed might have been left out when it updated the kernel for... Reasons (tm).

You know, things like... networking. Oops. Lemme just download the missing packages and- ah. right. Damnit.

The end solution was to use grub to boot into the previous kernel's recovery, use dpkg to find and correct missing packages. (Pro tip: Hit 'enable networking' before doing this or it won't work.) It wound up taking about two minutes to find and install the missing packages and enable my fully armed and operational battlestation.

Here's the thing: This is an *old problem.* I have search results going back four years of people having this issue. How is this still a problem? *WHY* is this still a problem?

I’ve noticed that when I enable the “Force Composition Pipeline” option in NVIDIA settings on my RTX 2070 running on X11, my system freezes shortly after starting any game which uses DXVK. This seems to be related to NVIDIA driver version 535 and newer.

The problem happens because DXVK 2.3 started using the VK_KHR_present_wait extension, which doesn’t work well with the composition pipeline enabled on these drivers. The freeze happens consistently and makes the desktop unresponsive within a couple of seconds after launching any game using DXVK.

I found a discussion about this issue on NVIDIA’s developer forums where it’s confirmed and reproducible.

- forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/

They still haven't fixed this. It's been years since 2023, yet NVIDIA's drivers still treat X11 like a beta test. Who needs open source love when you can just... not fix reproducible crashes?

(Their Vulkan support? More like Vul-can't, am I right?)

NVIDIA Developer Forums · Complete GPU crash on X11 with "Force Full Composition Pipeline" and VK_KHR_present_wait! 100% reproducible!This crash has been confirmed by Valve engineers. Steps to reproduce: NVIDIA driver 535+. I’ve tested this with RTX 2070 Super. But I assume every card is affected. Must be on X11. Enable “Force Full Composition Pipeline” in NVIDIA Settings. Use DXVK 2.3 release, which has whitelisted the usage of VK_KHR_present_wait on NVIDIA drivers. Play any game that uses DXVK. The desktop will freeze 1-2 seconds after the game opens up and there is no way to unfreeze it. There are two discussions about ...
