I updated my graphics drivers from nvidia 470 to nvidia 560 due to issues running certain games. It's fixed my gaming issue but reintroduced the problem that kept me from updating for so long.
After setting my computer to "suspend," it wakes up to this screen on all monitors. I am unable to scroll up or type further commands, my only option is to reboot the machine.
- My graphics card is: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 [GeForce GTX 1070]
- Nvidia driver version: 560.35.03
- My desktop environment is Cinnamon X11. (This does not occur on Wayland, but there is no Cinnamon Wayland.)
I can't make heads or tails of this error screen. The best I can understand is the "Fixing recursive fault but reboot is required!" line. How can I get more information? Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? Thanks in advance.
Edit: It seems important to mention this is happening only on X11 (Pop default and Cinnamon), and not on Pop!_OS on Wayland.
Cinnamon on mint has an option to log in using Wayland.
Where you type your login/password (mint uses light-dm as the login window) there is a small icon/avatar to the right. Clicking that gives the DE options:
Since pop is Ubuntu based you could try the Ubuntu ppa (there are other nvidia tips here, too)

And, here's the 550 download directly from nvidia

Hey thank you! I'll give this a shot tomorrow. I think my install uses GDM, not light-dm? I have Cinnamon but not Cinnamon Wayland in my list.
But I'll try the 550 drivers for sure!
