I have a reoccurring issue when there’s a new graphics driver update through the PopShop. Once the update begins the screen goes completely black and doesn’t come back on.

Usually I wait a while and then I have to force shutdown the computer and then afterwards (if the driver finished updating) everything is fine.

Anyone know a workaround for this or some better solution?

    It does feel like that! I remember having to do that on one of my Ubuntu installs because of Nvidia drivers. On my Pop!_OS, however, it doesn’t do that.

    I think you can use the TTY to update Nvidia drivers until the next major update of Pop!_OS and by then it should be fixed.
