[SOLVED] System freezes during boot with most recent firmware (AMD)

dummy@example.com (jbreizh) — Sat, 12 Sep 2026 18:37:48 +0000

Sorry but my computer doesn't crash every morning and i need it to work.... so i look the forum, find the only post related to my crash but on laptop hardware. Post a 8 response on the post to add that it doesn't work on desktop hardware also and you have to choose the especially the 2 pkg and the answer is if i translate "shut the f*** up" and a reminder of the law
Ok it's maybe a little bit aggressive. Just pointing on the upstream bug report is enough.
But anyway have a nice sunday

KDE Plasma crash after global update

dummy@example.com (5hridhyan) — Sat, 12 Sep 2026 18:33:51 +0000

Great, But which firmware are you talking about? the recent AMD chaos?
"global update" what actually changed? KDE? Mesa? kernel? firmware? Qt?
"Plasma crashed" Plasma shell? KWin? SDDM? Entire graphical session?
"each time it boots" immediately after login, during SDDM, or what?

What are you asking here? Validation from other fellow users? I doubt if that is supported here.

Nvidia?

If so, see:

Also

• https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/discussions/15590

And peruse the slew of fail-on-suspend/resume bugs in hyprlock git:

Tried that, and I get this:

ALSA lib parser.c:306:(error_node) [error.ucm] UCM is not supported for this HDA model (HDA Intel PCH at 0x622d1d0000 irq 219)
ALSA lib main.c:1805:(snd_use_case_mgr_open) [error.ucm] failed to import hw:0 use case configuration -6
alsaucm: error failed to open sound card hw:0: No such device or address

I tried an index of 1, just in case, and got this:

ALSA lib confmisc.c:165:(snd_config_get_card) [error.core] Cannot get card index for 1
ALSA lib parser.c:3622:(uc_mgr_import_master_config) [error.ucm] card 'hw:1' is not valid
ALSA lib main.c:1805:(snd_use_case_mgr_open) [error.ucm] failed to import hw:1 use case configuration -2
alsaucm: error failed to open sound card hw:1: No such file or directory

Perhaps I should just open an issue with SOF?

Network issues with kernel 7

From posts here and some proxmox blog this is likely driven by the bus or power management - have you looked at the unfiltered journal for contextual issues?

Have you confirmed that you're hitting the same regression(eg. by testing the LTS kernel)?

A command line lorem ipsum generator

dummy@example.com (GerBra) — Sat, 12 Sep 2026 16:37:01 +0000

Based on the idea from @seth at this post i made lorem_ipsum.
It's totally a bit overkill to have it as a compiled program , but it was a little exercise for me with a new language (crystal).

Additionally it has some sugar things compared to seth's easy-to-maintain, easy-to-run shell script, so i hope you find it somewhat usefully.

./lorem_ipsum -h
Welcome to Lorem Ipsum generator!

Issues with linux-firmware-amdgpu 20260910-1

dummy@example.com (theringoffire) — Sat, 12 Sep 2026 16:08:45 +0000

Same here, using AM5 System with Radeon 9070XT.

As this is the Newbie Corner I just want to make sure doing the right steps.

Downgraded package from cache:

pacman -U file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-firmware-amdgpu-20260810-2-any.pkg.tar.zst

Exclude fom update in /etc/pacman.conf:

IgnorPkg = linux-firmware-amdgpu

Rebuild initrd:

mkinitcpio -p linux

reboot

My system still freezes when entering KDE.

After I saw several issue related latest wireplumber update, I downgrade it from my cache using this command

sudo pacman -U wireplumber-0.5.15-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst libwireplumber-0.5.15-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

solved the issue.

after downgrading from strongswan-6.1.0-2 to strongswan-6.0.7-1, now everything is back in order.

Please consider building strongswan 6.1.0 locally with IKE1 enabled so you benefit from the security fixes in the 6.1.0 release. This will also prepare your system for the openssl 4.0 update that will break strongswan-6.0.7-1.

Installing arch with a bios who block the usb boot

"bios who block" -> https://deepl.com
as for your issue: what system EXACTLY? exact model number
where did you got grub in the first place?
what EXACTLY do you mean by "bios blocks boot from usb"?
where did you got the posted code from?
