[SOLVED] GUI glitches, lags and flashes after full system update

Hitokage · 2025-12-23 14:50:27

Hello, so after updating all packages using standard

sudo pacman -Syyu

my system behaves weird. When I write text I feel like the input is lagging and sometimes not even appearing as if the screen does not refresh. Windows randomly disappear, either all or parts of them. Here is an example of what a terminal does when typing something inside.

System info:

Kernel: 6.18.2-arch2-1 arch: x86_64 bits: 64
Desktop: Xfce v: 4.20.1 Distro: Arch Linux
CPU: 12-core model: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X bits: 64
GPU: NVIDIA TU104 [GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER] driver: nvidia v: 590.48.01

Anyone experienced something similar or can help? Thanks!

That is not 'standard', please use 'pacman -Syu' instead, using two 'y's is wasteful and an abuse of server resources.

As for your issue, please read the news: https://archlinux.org/news/nvidia-590-d … l-modules/

Closing, as duplicate, for deletion. EDIT: misread what the card was, Turing should be fine with -open.

Thanks, that's it. Sorry for not finding it by myself.
