[SOLVED] Xorg freezes with the most up-to-date packages (Ryzen/Amdgpu)

pacorrop · 2020-01-11 10:37:44

Hi,

I updated the entire system last night (West Europe time) and I'm experiencing constant freezings when opening a (I guess) 3D accelerated application. Only tested with Firefox (72.0.1-1) and Chromium (79.0.3945.117-1). Like 10 or 15 seconds after the PC is frozen, during 5 seconds some parts of the screen blink and then the screen becomes totally static. I can't do a Ctrl-Alt-F2 or whatever. I'm totally stuck.

However, I can still access this frozen PC through SSH. If I do

sudo killall -9 Xorg

in the ssh session, the system "recovers".

I guess downgrading some packages will solve the issue until somebody finds out what's going on, but I don't know which of them (as I did a massive update of packages. Last time I did pacman -Syu was 4 months ago). Any help on this?

This is the Xorg.0.log I can get from the ssh session:

Well, I wouldn't say that this post is solved, but downgrading the kernel worked for me as the computer no longer freezes:

linux to 5.2.14.arch2-1
linux-headers to 5.2.14.arch2-1
gcc-libs to 9.1.0-2
gcc to 9.1.0-2
lib32-gcc-libs to 9.1.0-2

If I downgrade the version to 5.4.2 it keeps freezing but it recovers after exactly 10 seconds. I put it to 5.2.14 as it was my previous kernel installed.
gcc related stuff is also required to be downgraded because dkms modules don't compile otherwise.

Try booting 5.4.x with

amdgpu.noretry=0

see https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page= … ults-Raven for more info and useful links
