Hi @adamsj-ros Thank you for the report. The error is similar to the issue we have already solved in the past. Could you try the solution from this comment?

[adamsj-ros]

I read a little more about that and just-for-reference, on PopOS you want to set Hybrid mode. This prevented this issue.

[adamsj-ros]

Pop OS didn't appear to have prime-select available but can use Hybrid Graphics instead.
