I opened a similar bug and @vanvugt advised me to come here.
I do have the MetaSyncRing messages that pop up in the journalctl command, so my bug indeed relates
I read everything and will try the PPA if need be.

But I'm using a driver that nobody mentioned, which was selected by Dell who assembled the machine and installed the OS.
On Nvidia driver section, I'm using "Set the power ondemand mode by default from oem-fix-gfx-nvidia-ondemandmode". I also have drives 535 and 470 available in the menu, but when I install them, my default setting disappears. I had to fully reinstall the OS to get it back. Nvidia themselves advise on their download page to not necessarily use their proprietary drivers on some Linux distribs, so I stuck with my default driver.

Will the PPA and the mutter downgrade be of use with this default setting ?
Also, installing proprietary pilot from the Software & update menu raised an error, so I aborted the process.

I'm running :

- Ubuntu 22.4.04 LTS
- GNOME 42.9 (latest official update)
- X11
- NVIDIA T400 4GB

Thank you
