When using my Nvidia graphics card, I have a really bizarre issue when running Minecraft.
IMG_20200603_203144.jpg


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.
 


What graphics driver is installed the Nvidia proprietary graphics driver or the nouveau open source graphics driver.

Open the additional driver manager and see if there is an option to install the Nvidia proprietary graphics driver.

If so install it and restart the computer and see if that makes a difference.

Also open the command terminal and copy and paste this command in it and press enter and then copy and paste the output in a post.

inxi -Fxz


This may be helpful.



 
I'm already on the latest Nvidia proprietary.

According to this link you have graphics in your processor.


Remove the graphics card and reset bios to defaults and connect your monitor to the graphics port on the motherboard try your processor graphics and see if it does the same thing.

If not then it be related to the Nvidia proprietary driver or a setting in the Nvidia control panel.
 
It worked just fine with integrated graphics before I installed my dedicated gpu.
 
You might play with the settings in the Nvidia control panel or try an older Nvidia driver.

Try pressing the auto focus button and see if it changes anything because with each restart of the computer it resets the monitor focus.

I don't know anything about Minecraft or any of the display settings that the game itself has.
 
Check it out. It may be the source of the problem. Nouveau drivers are most likely the default and they need to be disabled/blacklisted for proprietary drivers to function correctly, IME.

Unless I'm way off you can't use two graphics drivers on the same card. I have the Nvidia driver selected.
