The problem with the entire shell getting killed seems to be an older issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/4038
So for Nvidia we're just concerned with the apps freezing on close. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues #4038 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/4038 ** Also affects: mutter via https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/4038 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Package changed: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) => mutter (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Critical => High ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-580 (Ubuntu) Importance: Critical => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2120628 Title: GTK4 apps crash upon closing with nvidia-driver-580, sometimmes taking down the session Status in Mutter: Unknown Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-580 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading to nvidia-drivers-580, multiple apps crash upon closing, upon openning files or upon executing other actions, sometimes taking my gnome session down with it. Examples: Files - crashes upon closing (the main window, but also the file properties sub-window), taking down the entire gnome session and go back to gdm. Papers - crashes when trying to open a pdf file (my guess is that it is because it closes a sub-window in the process), taking down the entire gnome session and go back to gdm. Log viewer - crashes upon closing. Gnome text editor - crashes upon closing.
