KDE Plasma/Graphics Drivers stop functioning at random intervals

Hi, I daily drive a 2021 81W0 IdeaPad 3 14ADA05 with an AMD Ryzen 5 3500U as the APU. At random intervals my screen will stop displaying graphics, it wouldn't "shut off" per-say, but it wouldn't display anything and I wouldn't be able to switch to a TTY. I assume it's a kernel parameter, but I'm not quite sure how I could test and fix this issue.

Welcome to the boards.

Check/post a journal log when you get the issue

sudo journalctl -b 

If you can get it from the current boot, otherwise add -1 for the boot prior to your current one if you're forced to reboot. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_o … n_services

That's not the entire thing but likely a terminal scrolls length. Do

sudo journalctl -b-1 | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io 

you'll get a link.

I couldn't get ix.io functioning but I did get 0x0.st working

Nothing really problematic inherently but a whole bunch of random discord related error messages, are you running some custom version/extensions here? Can you reproduce this situation when discord isn't running? What's fetchcord.service exactly?

Fetchcord is a program that displays my neofetch as a discord rich presence status.

Also I just got the issue again, I got the journalctl of the previous state, and I got

[drm] pstate TEST_DEBUG_DATA: 0x3EFE0000

pasted over and over at the end of the logs, right where the screen blackening occurred, and looking up the error, it appears that it isn't a unique issue, and other AMD APU, even previous gen users are experiencing a similar issue

You might be able to get better logs if you enable sysrq: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Keyboa … el_(SysRq) and use REISUB to try and reboot on a freeze. But yeah if this is down to the kernel, maybe try linux-mainline or so to test how the 5.19-rc kernels behave, maybe also linux-firmware-git if it's down to firmware issues.

Sorry for necroposting, but I recently came across the crash again, however when I loaded the logs I got this baffling log where XRandR basically turns off the primary output for no reason

Jul 06 08:43:11 IdeaPad kscreen_backend_launcher[937]: kscreen.xrandr: XRandR::setConfig
Jul 06 08:43:11 IdeaPad kscreen_backend_launcher[937]: kscreen.xrandr: Requested screen size is QSize(1920, 1080)

Jul 06 08:43:11 IdeaPad kscreen_backend_launcher[937]: kscreen.xrandr: XRandR::setConfig done!

Gonna update the thread title because of this information. Probably isn't a kernel issue, but a KDE Plasma issue.
