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?

    That doesn’t happen on my machine, so I can’t exactly test it and report back, but

    Can you try updating in a tty? If the desktop crashes, tty sessions should be unaffected. Maybe it’s just a bad version or something and it’ll get resolved once the updates are properly installed.
