Re: Xorg crash `ACPI group/action undefined: jack/videoout / VIDEOOUT`

I also had this crash. At the moment of the crash, I was holding down my keyboard's volume down button. Here's /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old: https://pastebin.com/raw/wF03qNVU

Here is what journalctl -b was saying right before the crash:

That dbus-daemon's message had been spammed for quite a while, I noticed. It might be a separate problem, but still.

Re: Xorg crash `ACPI group/action undefined: jack/videoout / VIDEOOUT`

I don't know if this helps at all but, I'm not crashing. I found this message after installing acpid and starting/enabling it. When I checked it's status I found the message.

I then installed acpi_call-dkms and regenerated my initramfs with mkinitcpio -P and that message went away. I am now receiving a bunch of messages that appear related to my Nvidia card.

acpi_call: Cannot get handle: Error: AE_NOT_FOUND

There's a lot of info in google about this particular error so may take a while to dig into. With this new information it may or may not have anything to do with your issue.

Re: Xorg crash `ACPI group/action undefined: jack/videoout / VIDEOOUT`

FYI, I think this is probably the upstream bug "Out of bounds memory read in ActivateGrabNoDelivery() in 21.1.1" (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xse … ssues/1253).  The symptoms are basically that Xorg crashes when using a keyboard shortcut (maybe it can happen in other cases too, but that is one), and Xorg.log shows XkbHandleActions() in the backtrace and "Segmentation fault at address XYZ" where XYZ is a value that ends in three zeroes.

Thanks @Synchronicity, it looks like that's the one!

Re: Xorg crash `ACPI group/action undefined: jack/videoout / VIDEOOUT`

After reading that, it appears there's no fix yet. If you're still experiencing stability issues you could try to pass some kernel flags at boot. There's quite a few related to acpi and power management. You could try them one by one to see if they help at all.

Still happening. Fortunately it doesn't happen on a daily basis, but it is quite inconvenient as it can cause you to lose your work at any time.

Re: Xorg crash `ACPI group/action undefined: jack/videoout / VIDEOOUT`

Well I'm unhappily joining the party of the ones affected. FWIW, Ryzen 5900HX, minipc. I use integrated Radeon card, symptoms are exactly the same. Funnily enough I see absolutely nothing about ACPI, it seems to be related purely to my inputs. It doesn't happen on Intel laptop that I also own and use extensively.

I noticed that on the AMD system there's much more of "client bug: event processing lagging behind" kind of logs, what would also indicate some issues w/ input processing. I'll try debug enabled build to see if something interesting pop up out of it.
