–––––
I switched from
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau to nvidia-driver-535 inside the "Driver Manager". nvidia-driver-535 wasn't pre-installed so driver manager installed it and then asked me to reboot, which I did.I originally did this with two intentions:
- I hoped it would prevent the screen brightness from unsolicitedly going to maximum every time after waking up after the screen times out. It worked.
- I hoped it would prevent the black screen after unsuspending the computer. It didn't work. I will post about this problem in a separate thread since it is out of scope here.
This Linux Mint instance is running from a portable SSD. I booted it from a different computer which does not have an NVIDIA GPU.
This lead to a problem with celluloid and mpv that was not there before installing
nvidia-driver-535: there is a five-second delay before a video starts playing.In celluloid, this can usually be fixed by removing "hwdec=yes" from the "Extra mpv options" field in the settings menu. In mpv,
--hwdec=none accomplishes this. But I prefer using hardware decoding for performance reasons.Is there any way to prevent mpv or celluloid from getting stuck trying to load NVIDIA CUDA for five seconds? Is there any way that does not require uninstalling anything?
The following terminal output gets stuck for five seconds at
[vo/gpu] Loading hwdec driver 'cuda-nvdec', which is line 96.Terminal output:
