My arch linux use to "go down" when I open maps.

With go down I mean that I see a black screen (for about half a second) and after that I can't move the cursor anymore. Then the cursor disappear, and the monitor start flash black screen and the current workspace, but I can't do anything than reboot at this point.
I'm not an expert and I don't know what to do, Already tried pacman and yay -Syu and wait also a month (maybe it's a bug of the news update that is going to be fixed, I thought) but nothing change. Removed the extensions but nothing changed.
And this happen sometimes randomly and always when I'm on a map, for example if I try to search and move on google maps, the flash start instantly Could it be a virus? Do I have to re-install the entire system? Is there any way to see where the problem come from?

What hardware, drivers and display server?
Also what browser and possibly desktop environment?
In doubt please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General

but I can't do anything than reboot at this point.

If you can https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Keyboa … el_(SysRq) you'll preserve the journal.
But did you try to simply switch to a different TTY?

Hardware is a dell Inspiron of 2020 with 16 GB of RAM, so I think this is not the problem. I use about 3 browser: firefox, brave and chrome and in any the problem persist, desktop environment is gnome (44.5) without any important change, so I still running mutter.
I don't use Xorg, I've wayland, Display server is DGM. About the drivers IDK if AMD is enough to answer (I have ryzen 5 with integrated graphic card, radeon).

If you need Wayland logs, I ran

journalctl -b | grep -i 'wayland.*]: '

and the result is

Try gnome on Xorg and then just openbox (or a different, non-compositing X11 WM)
There seems to be an issue w/ the latest mesa, but that wasn't happening a month ago.
For a cross-check try the LTS kernel and ultimately post a complete journal for a boot where this happened.

paulCRL · 2023-10-09 08:14:37

ok I switched to Xorg and installed openbox, but I have not configured it because x11 just fix the problem. But there's another: gestures doesn't work anymore. It is just a Xorg problem or maybe openbox installation just broke some gnome configuration file for gestures or something?
