Description Dev Guy 2021-09-23 21:56:31 UTC

I just upgraded my openSUSE TW and now it's causing a crash when I try to open VS Code insider. I believe the NVidia driver was updated and something is broken?

How can I go rollback to the previous version of NVidia driver and also prevent auto updates for the NVidia drive in the future.

Comment 1 Dev Guy 2021-09-23 22:11:58 UTC

This bug seem to already have been reported and can be closed off here, nothing to do with the package of the NVidia driver.

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/133593

Temp workaround if anyone stumbles here that works for me: 

./code-insiders --no-sandbox

Based on the comment above, I close this bug report now, please feel free to reopen it whenever necessary, thanks.

Comment 3 Dev Guy 2021-10-02 11:40:59 UTC

I am noticing a few other crashes after the NVidia driver update.

Discord no longer opens, it crashes all the time and the window never opens.

I am also seeing kwin crashing. What happen is all the windows on my desktop disappear and I believe my screen will go black before everything reappears quickly. It happens really quick and I've noticed it happen to me 2 times. 

Then a popup alert shows up at the bottom-right, saying "kwin crashed unexpectedly", not sure if it say "kwin" or some other process that is responsible I guess for rendering/managing all the windows.

I figured I report this here, as it seem related to the latest NVidia driver update.

Comment 4 Stefan Dirsch 2021-10-17 17:17:53 UTC

Closing the initial issue as duplicate.  Things from comment #3 should be reported separately. Thanks.

Comment 5 Dev Guy 2021-10-17 20:27:16 UTC

FYI Any electron based app that is crashing due to the GPU bug can be started with the following flag, "-in-process-gpu".

Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2021-10-17 21:12:05 UTC

Thanks, interesting!

Comment 7 Dev Guy 2021-10-18 00:26:00 UTC

Made a typo in comment 5, should have 2 dashes, "--in-process-gpu"
