[SOLVED] Process 38306 (dleyna-renderer) of user 1000 dumped core

stea · 2023-08-30 12:44:35

My laptop (Aspire E5-476G V1.37) occassionally crashes, and I'm not sure why. It's been doing this before I switched operating systems from Ubuntu to Arch Linux.

Full output of journalctl --boot -1 --priority crit

The output without the priority flag exceeds 3000 lines because the boot session was eight hours, but I included it just in case. I also included output with other priority flags of values higher than crit with the hopes of making reading without colors easier.
No priority flag: https://pastebin.com/cEF06AZ6

EDIT: By "crash", I mean the screen turns black and the laptop appears unresponsive to any keyboard and mouse input. I force it to shutdown by holding the power key (although I think I should be more hesitant before doing so...)

EDIT 2: I think Firefox has something to do with this. When I was in Ubuntu, dragging a tab out from the tabs bar would crash (I do not force it; it reboots by itself) my laptop. It didn't always happen, but there was a good chance it would. I foolishly ignored this until GDM broke in Ubuntu and wouldn't let me enter my password. In my first few days of installing a desktop environment along with Firefox in Arch, dragging a tab out led Firefox to crash but not reboot the system. This Firefox crash didn't happen frequently as Ubuntu rebooted, and this is in fact the only time I remember it happening in my 26 days of using Arch. I remember at least two other times Arch crashed (black screen and force to shutdown), but it happens randomly and wasn't caused by dragging tabs.

nouveau crashes, you've a maxwell chip. Consider using https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nvidia (pay attention to the installations steps, notably #5, and enable https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … de_setting )

I made sure to follow step 5, but nouveau won't disappear from my 3D controller kernel modules.

Output from lspci -k | grep -A 3 3D

Also, it appears I'm using hybrid graphics because the output of lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)" displayed two controllers:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 (rev 02)
	Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] HD Graphics 620
	Kernel driver in use: i915
--
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M [GeForce MX130] (rev a2)
	Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] GM108M [GeForce MX130]
	Kernel driver in use: nvidia

Instead of installing an NVIDIA driver, I'm considering turning off my NVIDIA graphics card as per the instructions in this wiki page to save battery power. Is it safe to do this?

Kernel driver in use: nvidia

You're using the nvidia module, the following line just lists all modules that alias the HW id, ie. are willing to operate it.

The nvidia chip is a mere 3D controller, you're by default running on the intel chip anyway - if you don't want to use the nvidia chip at all, ideally deactivate it in the BIOS (if you can)

The nouveau errors show up when waking the system from hibernation and s2idle.
This /might/ be a red herring wrt your main issue

I force it to shutdown by holding the power key

will systematically truncate the journal and the ultimate problem might not be listed.
At

Aug 30 16:33:17 geras kernel: PM: suspend entry (s2idle)

the system went to sleep and

Aug 30 16:42:35 geras kernel: nouveau 0000:01:00.0: timeout

~9 minutes later wakes up to an unresponsive nouveau chip.
How does that relate to the critical symptom of

the screen turns black and the laptop appears unresponsive to any keyboard and mouse input

?

Sorry for the confusion. I didn't realize I was looking at the wrong lines. I didn't even notice I was using -A 2 on one grep and -A 3 on the other...

I wasn't aware of the existence of SysRq. I'll think twice before doing a hard shutdown from now on.
I turned off my NVIDIA graphics card, and lspci -k doesn't list it anymore, so I'll mark this thread solved. Thank you for the assistance.

I didn't realize it when I made the edits, but the events that actually happened are mixed up in my head. I don't think the screen turns black, but I certainly remember the cursor not moving when I move my mouse.

Since we possibly lack logs for the actual incident, make sure to keep the sysrq enabled and feel free to re-open the thread if/whenever the problem returns.

stea · 2023-09-01 03:26:46

kernel.sysrq is set to 1 in my sysctl configuration. I'll reopen when something goes wrong again.
