Constant Desktop Enviroment crashes

Sempiternal-Futility · 2023-10-12 17:31:41

I have an issue on my system: It constantly crashes, and all I can do is fall back to a tty.
This happens across all DE's and WM's, and also on both X11 and wayland.

Here's a journalctl log when it happened (https://pastebin.com/7V38yK2g). The crash happens at 2:47AM, when I tried to open firefox (line 2049).

When the system crashes, my DE stops functioning and freezes. All I can do is switch to a tty, where I can use it smoothly.

I think this is a problem with my amdgpu drivers. I don't recall this happening with the radeon drivers. (I need vulkan, so just using radeon is not an option). What do you guys think?

DE: Wayland + KDE
Kernel: 6.5.3-arch1-1
GPU: AMD R7 240
CPU: RYZEN 3 2200g

PS: I don't know if this would be better suited for the "Applications & Desktop Environments" section. Since I think it's the drivers fault, I think this issue is better suited here.

amdgpu is crashing/resetting.

Your system is out of date, both on the kernel and mesa front. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=130309

Update your system, reboot, try to reproduce. If you can reproduce, test the LTS kernel. If you can still reproduce, test whether it's more stable with radeon instead of amdgpu (even if "not an option" that can help narrowing down the problem scope). Also check whether you can reproduce on xorg.

@V1del Did it. Updated the system, but still got a crash. Same goes for the LTS kernel. Could not reproduce it with radeon.

Here's the log (part 1) -- https://pastes.io/6igqaowi4z

What kind of horrible pastebin service is that?
Try

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Journal is kwin_wayland on amdgpu on the 6.5.7-arch1-1 kernel…

@seth This also happens on X11. I tried to reproduce it with radeon again, but it did not crash

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1762 (but you don't have IO page faults)

When this happens on X11, do you get away w/ restarting the compositor (SHIFT+Alt+F12 toggles it)?
Or is the timing out process Xorg?
Does it make a diffference whether you use xf86-video-amdgpu?

@seth restarting the compositor does not fixes it.
xf86-video-amdgpu doesn't make any difference either

Sempiternal-Futility · 2023-10-18 18:38:24

@seth I'll try to add this parameter to the kernel and see if it fixes it (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=251159)
