I'm going to try switching to wayland before installing the driver to see if it makes any differences.

    If you boot into a rescue USB and mount your boot partition then there should be a configuration file with two initrd sections. Delete the one with Nvidia in the filename and then reboot.

      Okay. I installed the driver 550 instead, but now the same thing is happening with that driver. So it most be the same dependency package(s) there may be fault. I'm going to try driver 470.

      EDIT: Same things happen with the 470 driver. So now I'm stuck with NV driver at the moment.

        Cherry-picked usysconf fix addressing issues faced by nvidia users. (Thanks Reilly)

        Updated my two posts above, Reilly Brogan assisted and resolved both my issues.

        Thank you.

        Firefox has crashed 4 times since the update solus budgie i7-4790 × 8 16gigs of ram, x11 and desktop becomes unresponsive ( usb mouse and keyboard freeze up )

          For a long time now I've wondered why Firefox users put up with the frequent crashes. Vivaldi is positively boring in comparison. I can't remember the last time there was a serious problem with it.

              Congrations! Based on the problems that are being reported after nearly every update, it seems there are lots of others who would like to be able to say the same thing.

              I have nothing in particular against Firefox. It might surprise you that I contribute monthly to Mozilla.

                We just downgraded the Nvidia drivers to fix user-reported issues causing no display output. Apologies to anyone who was excited about explicit sync but having users be able to use their system is more important.

                  knuckle These are just a few examples to find the reason for the FF error.

                  1. Does it crash with acceleration enabled and disabled?
                  2. Check if it crashes without extensions. In terminal: firefox --safe-mode.
                  3. Check the logs after freezing and rebooting. E.g.: 
                    journalctl -p err -b -1
journalctl -b -1 | grep firefox
journalctl -b -1 | grep error
                  4. Start FF with debugging (install gdb). Type
                    firefox -g -> r -> press Ctrl+c -> bt and see if it displays any errors.
                  5. See if FF does crash on linux-lts.
                    I suggest opening a new thread because maybe more people have or had this error or have more experience to fix it.

                    Who could have guessed that a simple comment like mine would evoke such intelligent and thoughtful responses.

                      @ermo Nvidia driver rolled back. I don't seem to be having mouse problems anymore.

                      edit: I was wrong, I'm still having mouse problems.
