[Nouveau] Ubuntu 22.04 system freeze on nVidia GT218 [GeForce 210]
When I upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS from 20.04 LTS, it removed my proprietary nvidia drivers and installed nouveau.? When I run graphical apps like Chrome, Firefox, especially both, or even gnucash, it freezes, sometimes after a time seems to unfreeze, and then refreezes.? Other users have switched back to the nvidia proprietary driver, but I have not figured out how.? I had similar problems on 20.04 LTS and figured out how to go to nvidia, but it seems like the option is missing in 22.04.? As a bonus for going to nvidia, BOINC apps were able to use my GPU.? I have a nVidia GT218 [GeForce 210] GPU, apparently part of the nvidia 340 family of drivers.
