Neither replacing the video card (expensive) nor installing an older version (that would break most of the software already installed and would leave me exposed to security bugs) are viable options, especially since the issue occurs rarely.
The package for drivers 340 still exists for Ubuntu 22.04, but as far as I could see it's just a virtual package that installs nouveau instead, and I guess it's only purpose is to replacing the proprietary driver with the open source one during a system update from Ubuntu 20. Also, since Nvidia has finally decided to go open source (https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-releases-open-source-gpu- kernel-modules/ ), I expect that in the future the nouveau driver will become the only one anyway and the Nvidia drivers will be integrated in it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-hwe-5.15 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1983108 Title: watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for ...
