System stalled. Can't launch programs and Plasma becomes unresponsive.

techmanwalker · 2025-07-03 16:49:44

I can't find a reliable way to reproduce this but this has happened 4 times as for now:

The first one happened apparently with no cause
After trying to play a video using VLC
While browsing a folder with Gwenview
After running beesd to deduplicate my disk

So when it happens, if I try to launch e.g. the browser, it just spawns the placeholder window but it never really loads, then I spawn a terminal (which does launch) and type a command like nvtop, htop or whatever command, it just stays on hold -does not output anything but also doesn't return to the command line, it just stays there like when you type cat, and ^C doesn't do anything. Then I try to soft-reboot or fully shutdown but the system halts, as you could see it in the logs. Have to force the shutdown and power back on to get it running again.

The most highlighted entries in the journal I can see are: dbus-broker-launch failed requests, Plasma and program coredumps, and pipewire errors.

This is happening very often lately and I would like to know if it's some kind of hardware problem -which I think it's not because it has happened to me in other laptops.

I had those enabled in my old laptop, so I carried those over (mostly because of the encrypted btrfs)

Do you get this w/ "iommu=soft"?

Yes, I got those exact same errors after playing a video in VLC, but I don't think that the fact that it was VLC is precisely related

There isn't any voltage control in my UEFI. It's an Asus Zenbook Pro 17 laptop...

Is there a parallel windows installation?

Windows 11 alongside, so yes

Be very careful w/ discard

When I was a bit newer in Linux I got a huge performance hit with my first LUKS encrypted system. I got like 15 MB/s write speed, so adding that flag solved the issue. I've had no other (performance related) disk issues since yet, also my current SSD is Samsung (SAMSUNG MZVL21T0HCLR-00B00)

This is still nonsense, the frequently advertised kernel parameter is "nvidia_drm.modeset=1" and the feature is enabled by default since 555xx or 565xx - the only remaining function is to block the simpledrm device.

I had those enabled in my old laptop

Do not enforce an IOMMU and it's pcie_aspm.policy and "default" is the "default", anyway https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_ … Management

Windows 11 alongside, so yes

3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

There isn't any voltage control in my UEFI.

I take that the ellipsis is meant to say that "asus firmware is known to be unconfigurable shit", but there's nothing "precision boost overdrive" related? Can you adjust any clock rates (are you overclocking the system)

adding that flag solved the issue

See the linked wiki, consider a periodic trim and make sure your new(?) nvme actually supports this.

Really? I remember reading back then that nvidia_drm.modeset=1 should be replaced with that option but I think I just misread that

Well well, removing it...

Disable it

I disabled it a while ago

No, not at all. The UI is indeed very Fisher-Price coded with hardly the option to disable Secure Boot, so I'm a bit out of luck there

There's a difference between a module option in modprobe.d and as a kernel parameter - on the kernel commandline, modprobe still needs to somehow know what module the parameter to apply to.

I disabled it a while ago

Have you made sure that MS hasn't re-enabled it interim (because that infrequently happens w/ random updates)

Did you test iommu=soft and do you still get those MCEs?

techmanwalker · 2025-07-05 14:28:55

I have not even booted Windows since disabling it, so yes... and in fact I got the same errors and my system halted again

seth · 2025-07-05 15:03:10

On iommu=soft?
Are you legitimately running OOM? (12 is ENOMEM) - you've 16GB RAM and 32GB swap, so this seems kinda unlikely.

Does your fisher-price BIOS allow you to disable internal devices like the webcam - or wifi? Bluetooth, the fingerprint reader etc et pp?

Edit: also

jul 03 17:36:04 archlinux kernel: DMI: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. Zenbook UM6702RC_RM6702RC_BM6702RC UM6702RC_UM6702RC/UM6702RC, BIOS UM6702RC.310 06/17/2022

are there maybe bios updates available for the device?

Yesn't

BIOS UM6702RC.320 02/21/2023

This is how far MyASUS got-

EDIT: Linux completely froze again while doing a high CPU consuming task (AV1 encoding), this time it printed a big yellow message at the end of the full journal log.

That seems to be very low, could I set it to something like 4096? (The default is 76xx something)

I'll run it overnight and share the results here

Yes, I've completely disabled persistenced and now KDE in X11 just shot itself on the foot while being idle and locked (not suspended). It froze the whole computer again- will come back to Wayland with persistenced enabled just in case.

techmanwalker · 2025-07-06 22:05:02

So what's next? Does this mean that there's no other solution?

seth · 2025-07-06 22:08:33

That means the errors are kinda all over the place, at "best" it's somehow a bug in the nvidia kernel module but because of the MCEs you certainly want to check memtest86+ to rule out RAM defects (you might just have to downclock it a bit)

techmanwalker · 2025-07-08 00:24:02

Hi again

Memtest result - 10 passes / 6 hours

seth · 2025-07-08 06:50:47

If we take that at face value, can you disable the nvidia GPU in the firmware (uefi)?
Otherwise add "pci_stub.ids=10de:25a2" to the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters (which will hide the GPU from the rest of the OS)
If the error is coming from there, the system should™ stabilize.

techmanwalker · 2025-07-08 08:38:16

Woah, it stabilized. No more mce errors, no more kworker and nv hung tasks nor kernel taints, it doesn't halt, and finally a graceful shutdown. Nothing apart from the obvious performance hit for using a single low-power card and that games run at -2 FPS.

The only error I see now is this:

jul 08 01:29:15 malasdecisiones kernel: NVRM: GPU 0000:01:00.0 is already bound to pci-stub.

I couldn't stay for too long with the NVcard disabled so I enabled it back, but at least this will point to the right direction.

seth · 2025-07-08 14:43:37

'key so it's the nvidia GPU and/or driver.
Did this already happen w/ the 570xx or 565xx driver versions?
You could try
1. the non-zen, main kernel
2. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … P_firmware ("nvidia.NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0" if you want to add it as kernel parameter) - though there're not indications of the GSP being involved here (more like a bus error)
3. nvidia-open (do not disable the GSP w/ that, it critically relies on it!)
4. downgrade to nvidia-dkms 570xx
https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/ … kg.tar.zst
https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/ … kg.tar.zst
and you'll need the kernel headers, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dynami … le_Support

techmanwalker · 2025-07-10 22:15:03

1. I'm typing this on my now-hanged system with the vanilla kernel.
2. Already disabled since the first time you pointed it out
3. Wouldn't that create a greater performance hit than all the troubleshooting steps I've did until now? My game (pixel gun 3d) now runs at 20 fps on battery
4. It made my GPU completely undetectable, updating back to 575 brought it back to life (I had the headers installed)

Strangely-not-strangely, checking in the logs right now shows no mce nor hung kworker tasks

skewed vanilla log

seth · 2025-07-10 22:27:53

2. ah, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p2248863
3. nvidia is moving towards nvidia-open for newer generations, this isn't nouveau - however:
4. What does/did

dkms status

say? Do oyu have the journal for that boot?

That's the moment of the freeze?
Did it happen when you pulled or plugged the power chord?

massimo · 2025-07-11 07:45:19

Over the past year I faced this issue 6-10 times. Today, while browsing the internet, kworker processes were using all CPU resources for 1-3 minutes and then everything went back to normal.

kernel: 6.15.5-arch1-1
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz
GFX: Intel UHD Graphics 620
F2FS for root
KDE
vm.swappiness = 10

Unfortunately not anymore, I did not remember how many boots ago that happened.

I mostly use my laptop plugged in, so independently of that, it hangs
Also, I'm getting a really worse performance on battery (went from 80 to 20 fps), maybe I could blame disabling the GSP firmware for that

seth · Yesterday 21:44:44

It's unlikely that dropping the GSP had that kind of battery impact - the GPU still needs to perform pretty much the same job.
Do you have a journal for /that/ boot?
You might still want to attempt to downgrade to nvidia-dkms 570xx if nvidia-open doesn't help, I suspect something wen wrong w/ the dkms build.

It's unlikely but it absolutely does impact the performance a lot, and to prove that here's the mangohud screenshot that shows that the game now reaches ~100 fps on battery with absolutely no slowdowns- this with nvidia-open, GSP and NTSync enabled- so the GSP being disabled maybe (most likely for me) caused issues with the game's fire effects and all that. And it has not hanged yet nor has any kworker hanged, surprisingly...

I forgot to tell you that downgrading to 570xx made the gpu completely disappear from the system and only upgrading back fixed the issue

Anyway, I'm going to try to hold this computer alive for more than three days (it usually doesn't last more than one and a half) and if it survives then the issue would be... fixed?
