UI randomly crashes

I think that happens since the last time I ran

pacman -Syu

I assume only the UI crashes since I'm still able to reach ttyX by pressing Ctrl+Alt+X.

I don't know much more about the issue, if I notice something I'll edit the post

Re: UI randomly crashes

Eh, there is absolutely nothing here to work with.

If you think it is only from the last update, post your log of what was updated.

Post your xorg log from when it happens.

Tell us about your set up, what WM/DE do you use and how do you start it?  What video driver do you use?

Re: UI randomly crashes

My DE is KDE and my WM is KWin. Here is my pacman log since 03/08

However, in /var/log/ , i have several xorg logs so I dont know which one I should post

My graphics driver is xf86-video-nouveau and my GPU is an Nvidia GTX 950M. I use SDDM as a session manager

Edit: This error seems to occur only when my laptop isn't plugged on, even though my battery is almost full.

Re: UI randomly crashes

So almost everything was updated yesterday.  But before that there were partial upgrades due to failed or cancelled attempts to update the system.  What was happening 3 days ago when you had several failed attempts to run `pacman -Syu`?  This was the day before you installed megasync from the AUR (and it's dependencies from the repos).

Your Xorg log should be under ~/.local/share/xorg/* and you can check the dates on the files to see when they were created.

That does not sound anywhere near a segfault - please define "crash", what are the symptoms?
Also check dmesg for nouveau related errors - any reason you're not using the nvidia blob?

Re: UI randomly crashes

I think they were python files that weren't owned by any package, I deleted them and they re-appeared after the update.
here is the xorg log

What is the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/14-libinput-custom-config.conf ?  What is the Xorg.log if you remove/rename that config file?

Are you installing python packages systemwide without using pacman?

Re: UI randomly crashes

Actually, /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/14-libinput-custom-config.conf doesn't even exist. And I don't install python package system-wise

Re: UI randomly crashes

Does this mean my arch release is from Jan 10? If it does, how do I update it?

Are you using a display manager or running X as some other user or is that not the most recent log file in /.local/share/xorg/ or has X not started since January?

I may have installed python packages, but if it existed, this xorg file doesn't exist anymore

No the pacman.log you posted indicates system updates since then

[2018-03-10 13:20] [ALPM] upgraded linux (4.15.5-1 -> 4.15.7-1)

So the Xorg.log would appear to not be the most recent one.

Well, I don't start X "manually", when my computer boots SDDM appears and I just open my session

[  2483.288] (II) xfree86: Adding drm device (/dev/dri/card0)

Hybrid graphics with the display driven by the intel integrated GPU and the nvidia GPU not used is that intended?
Edit:
Check the system journal for the sddm service see if there is any output that might be related to the X session being terminated.

i didn't configure that but i'll leave it like this. From past experience, I get a lot of tearing with my nvidia card

Let's try this again:

The screen just suddenly becomes black.
Running this command, I only see those

[   18.099593] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: bus: MMIO read of 00000000 FAULT at 022554 [ IBUS ]
[   18.105423] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: bus: MMIO read of 00000000 FAULT at 10ac08 [ IBUS ] 
[   18.769172] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: DRM: Pointer to TMDS table invalid

These errors appear everytime when I power on my PC

As I said, I don't use nvidia because of tearing

Re: UI randomly crashes

Did you try to suspend the compositor (SHIFT+Alt+F12)? Or even just restart "DISPLAY=:0 kwin_x11 --replace"?

I did not try that, and how do I restart this? Besides i can't figure out what would suspending the compositor do in order to solve the issue

It was more of a rhetorical question, I suspect (i.e., a suggestion of something to do, not a query for information).  Try it now.
