When using my Nvidia graphics card, I have a really bizarre issue when running Minecraft.
Basically, when quitting the game or exiting fullscreen, my display goes crazy. I've been looking into this for nearly 4 months now and still haven't found a solution. I'll list everything I know about this issue to see if anyone has a clue as to whats going on.
- Restarting fixes the issue and returns the computer to a useable state.
- The issue only occurs on versions of the game that use LWJGL 2 (A game library Minecraft uses that I believe may be part of the issue)
- The issue only occurs with my Nvidia graphics card (GTX 1060 6gb)
- The mouse is responsive after the crash.
- Pressing print screen makes the screen white until the computer is restarted. It also creates an empty, 0-byte .png file.
- If there is a second full-screen window open (such as chrome), dragging it into windowed form recovers the crash.
- If there isn't a second window, restarting the computer is the only fix as far as I can tell.
- Yes my drivers are up to date.
What I think is happening:
Minecraft is successfully closing, but for whatever reason, the graphics card continues to render the last few frames before it was closed.
If anyone else is running ubuntu, has an Nvidia graphics card, and owns Minecraft, could you try running version 1.8.9 and see if you have the same issues.
