You've updated your Nvidia drivers (likely with your regular package manager). After that happens, always make sure to run flatpak update as well to install the Flatpak counterpart for your new driver

in driver manager i had the recommended driver nvidia-driver-575-open. tried xserver(open sorce), less lag, but still worse than yesterday. and nvidia 570, very laggy. whitch should i use? Last time I had this problem whlie i was lagging with games on heroic, I tried cyberpunk on steam and it worked fine.

Always use the latest driver (right now that's 575) Did you run flatpak update?

The embed contains instructions on what you should do next ...do you perhaps have embeds turned off (Discord Setttings -> "Chat" -> "Embeds And Link Previews" -> "Show embeds and preview website links pasted into chat")?

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
Well that ain't great What does your driver manager look like right now?

Right, that looks normal Did you reboot after changing back to 575?
wise-white
wise-whiteOP4mo ago
yes
CommandMC

Send in the output of dmesg then (probably gonna be rather long, you can pipe that into a file with dmesg > dmesg_out.txt)

Hm, no mentions of Nvidia at all in there Seeing a vga_switcheroo there; do you have two GPUs in this system?
wise-white
wise-whiteOP4mo ago
no only the one
CommandMC
CommandMC4mo ago
So this is a desktop system & you've connected your monitor(s) to your GPU's output ports, right?

wise-whiteOP4mo ago

These two look odd:
nvidia-firmware-570-570.133.07/noble-updates,noble-security,now 570.133.07-0ubuntu0.24.04.1 amd64 [installed,auto-removable]
nvidia-firmware-570-570.169/noble-updates,now 570.169-0ubuntu0.24.04.1 amd64 [installed]

nvidia-firmware-570-570.169/noble-updates,now 570.169-0ubuntu0.24.04.1 amd64 [installed]
Try uninstalling them I guess?
