I have installed Ubuntu 20.04.3 in a new HP Omen 16 with

  • AMD Ryzen 5800H (with an integrated graphics card)
  • NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti

Problem: when resizing or moving windows, desktop freezes for ~10s, then continues as if nothing had happened, without any dialog suggesting to report a problem.

I have verified that his happens only while using the NVIDIA graphics card. If I choose to use the embedded graphics module in the AMD (completely deactivate the NVIDIA graphics card) there is no freeze.

Things I've tried:

  • Upgrade nvidia drivers: completely remove and reinstall NVIDIA driver 510 (latest right now and "recommended and tested")
  • Downgrade to driver 470
  • Use Nouveau driver (open source): problem persists, and sometimes the computer will restart itself
  • Upgrade to Linux kernel 5.15 and to latest (5.16.9): this provokes the NVIDIA drivers to stop working
  • Downgrade to oldest kernel versions: this provokes the NVIDIA drivers to stop working

Any more info needed please just ask

EDIT: if I start the computer with the HDMI external monitor connected, this problem does not happen even if I disconect it afterwards. However, if I start without external monitor and later connect it, the problem starts inmediatly.

I tried to install Docky from the official repositories via apt-get but it couldn't find the packet. So I downloaded the .deb from the web and tried a manual install with gdebi and this was the output:

$ sudo gdebi docky_2.2.1.1-1_all.deb 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree        
Reading state information... Done
Reading state information... Done
This package is uninstallable
Dependency is not satisfiable: libgconf2.0-cil (>= 2.24.0)

I couldn't find any info about why this packet is not usable. Is there any other way to install docky?
