Problems after updating libgjs0g 1.76.0-3 > 1.76.2.1~ubuntu23.04.1

Asked by Jonathan Gibbs

Each time I allow this update, it breaks my system.
System will no longer boot to GUI, only black screen.
I don't even get a prompt, I must switch to another TTY

It also breaks my nvidia 535 driver.
I have to then boot to recovery mode, re install or switch graphics drivers before I'm able to get back into the GUI.
The update itself never seems to complete properly because after fixing the graphics driver back to my preferred one, it will ask me to update libgjs0g and gjs the next day, which breaks it all over again.

What should happen is that it should just reboot, complete the update and not break my graphics driver which requires me to trouble shoot and fix it.

Edited to fix error. nvidia 535 not 335.

Ok will do.
Granted I am no linux pro, but I'm confused as to why a gnome javascript package would break my install like this, prevent booting and also disrupt my graphics driver.
ALSO I goofed, it's nvidia proprietary 535 not 355. my bad.

This is the output:

Could be due to Nvidia not working with Wayland.

I'm not using Wayland, it's still not working good with Nvidia.

Was libgjs0g 1.76.0-3 > 1.76.2.1~ubuntu23.04.1 package auto-installed from repository ?
[during regular updates]

If it is breaking the Nvidia driver I suggest to uninstall the package.
The easiest way to correct everything is to use synaptic package manager.
Ubuntu Software - click search box [top left] - type: synaptic - click [install]
https://itsfoss.com/synaptic-package-manager/
Open synaptic - password - Click mark all upgrades - Click Reload -
Click Edit - click Fix Broken Packages - Apply
At the bottom of the screen will show status of packages.

Yes the package is coming through auto updates, though I still need to authorise the install of course.
I'm just not letting it install now. I don't know how to prevent it coming through the auto updates.
I'm using KDE so it's coming through discover.

Ahh I see, this synaptic package manager will allow me to prevent the system from installing this update?! nice, thank you.
Or perhaps, resolve whatever conflict is going on and repair the broken package.

Thank you I will mess around and find out I suppose. Your help is appreciated Bernard.

I'll mark this resolved once I successfully apply your advice.

I hope that Synaptic resolves the problem.
I wound up having to use the Ubuntu Linux video driver instead of NVIDIA 64bit Linux driver.

Interesting. I might post this as a bug report.. I don't understand why a javascript package would interfere with my nvidia driver like that, or why it prevents booting. perhaps the cause of both issues is one and the same, something to do with the javascript package.

Thank you for all the links. I'll have to keep these in my notes, somehow I never seem to be able to find these things by myself ^_^
I may try the Ubuntu Linux driver too.

Some how I do not think this is a bug report for Ubuntu.
Perhaps it is time for us to make a bug report to NVIDIA !
Are they complicated, https://docs.nvidia.com/deploy/gpu-debug-guidelines/index.html
Just a comment. I have a similar problem with NVIDIA driver for Linux.
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/support/ ..? Your guess as good as mine. Mine is: Page tearing and jittering graphics.

I don't know enough to really say one way or the other. At the very least I would think reporting it as a bug with ubuntu might get it looked at and give us a better idea where the problem lay?

I'll check out the nvidia page and make a report there also.

Interesting about the page/screen tearing. I get that too. It's awful.
I also had an issue where trying to use HDMI + DVI would blank both screens. I wanted to have dual monitors and both would be disabled if I enabled the two of them. It's been fixed now apparently as it's working fine.

I do know that nvidia's support of linux is awful, so would make sense that the issue is with their drivers.

Your input is really appreciated, thanks Bernard!

Can you help with this problem?
