How is the software-rendered image supposed to show up on the screen if GPU is nonresponsive? Excluding laptops with switchable graphics, the GPU is the one actually connected to the display. If the GPU hangs, how could the CPU continue to update the framebuffer in GPU memory?
I assume the same way that your BIOS splash does before your drivers have loaded. I should read the article though.
Ugh, so many ad loads. How are those getting through ublock?My BIOS splash screen only shows up if the monitor’s attached to the motherboard video output. The outputs on the GPU have no signal until plasma starts…
That’s a bios setting. External GPU should be default unless you’ve changed it.
I just checked again, but I have no such option in my BIOS. In fact, there aren’t any video-related options at all.
I still remember when the first (and maybe only?) time I’ve had a GPU driver crash in Windows. It just restarted the driver and had a little popup saying what had happened. So far ahead of Linux; I think that was like 10 years ago.
Would be nice if Linux could catch up.
Hung GPU 😍😍😋
Abandon Nvidia for well hung and open GPUs
wt actual f is happening in that picture
Now that you mention it yeah…
I had problems that seemed like GPU problems quite a few times when testing stuff and wondered if there was a good way to check it.
Was thinking if the serial debugger is still in use and whether Linux gives useful output in that for me to set one up.
