I have a Lenovo Legion 5 15ACH6H laptop with a Ryzen 7 5800H and an RTX 3060. I have been having issues where the device will randomly reboot or the system will freeze. I can see in journalctl -b -1 -e that the last few lines are all talking about GSP timeout.
I have seen that a potential fix for this is to disable GSP, but you can't do that on open drivers. I have been trying to get the proprietary driver via akmod-nvidia, but everything I have tried is still resulting in it installing the open driver. I was installing 595 which I saw something saying that 595 will always default to open drivers so I tried to install 580 with akmod-nvidia-580xx, but cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version is still outputting Nvidia UNIX Open Kernel Module.
Two questions:
- Is this even going to be the solution, or is there something my hours of research is missing?
- If this is the solution, how do I get this darn proprietary driver?
