Best way to pin Nvidia drivers to specific version
Hello, the latest nvidia drivers make my entire desktop crash when closing GTK apps, and I want to pin it to the previous version. What would be the simplest / recommended way to do this (I still want to receive updates for other things)?

decided to just set the
silverblue-nvidia image version in my recipe.yml to a date before the bad nvidia driver was released.Iirc the ublue images got around the issue by forcing GTK apps to render with opengl, maybe try that?
i think tried that and it still crashed
Solution
ill just wait for the new driver release and keep the image version pinned
the nvidia drivers in your image probably come from ublue, and those drivers probably come from negativo or rpmfusion, neither of which support installing most older releases of drivers AFAIK
you could pin your base image to a specific date i guess, but that would also mean not getting other updates
seems like that's what you ended up doing, smort smort
Yeah I couldn’t find any details on getting previous stuff from rpm fushion
It’s just crazy that Nvidia won’t release a patch
Like they fixed it but it missed the release window
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/253003/ once this makes it onto negativo you should be good

lets go finally
only took them like 3 weeks to fix a major issue 🤯
yeahhh
i've been having this issue too
makes me want to avoid nvidia altogether in the future
took a while to even realize that it was a GPU issue
i just kept having Nautilus crash on me, and force quitting it shut down the whole desktop 😭
