Arch linux freezes without specific reason

Therr · 2024-05-27 19:15:36

I use arch linux for a while, but recently arch linux is freezing (input and output doesn't react, but music is still playing, ctrl+alt+Fx doesn't work) randomly (usually when i try to play a game (doesn't matter what game exactly). Logs doesn't seem to say anything. Tried reinstalling arch with diffrent kernels. Tried even more stable arch-based distros. I ran Memtest 3 times and no errors. While this freeze occurs i can connect to this via ssh. CPU, GPU, ram etc. usage is low.
Sorry for bad english

Logs doesn't seem to say anything.

Do you reboot w/ the power button?

While this freeze occurs i can connect to this via ssh.

So only the graphics stack is affected.

After a freeze, ssh into the system and post your complete system journal for the boot from there:

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

Can you "sudo systemctl restart graphical.target" from there?

I forgot to add that every times this happens and i reboot arch it does fsck for my entire disk. Here are the logs:

That's a normal consequence of rebooting w/ the power button.

So at 18:02 you installed and started dropbear, 18:04 you logged in remotely and 18:09 you dumped the journal.
Did the system actually freeze between 18:02 and 18:09?

Therr · 2024-05-28 16:35:03

Yes. i installed dropbear and reproduced this error. Then i killed a foreground process (kill -9) via ssh and posted this here

seth · 2024-05-28 22:18:10

So it's basically just the game that freezes?
What kind of "game"? (Steam/lutris/wine, SDL, probably not gnu chess)?
What's its process state before you kill it? "D"?
Do you *have* to SIGKILL (-9) it? Regular SIGTERM doesn't work? (This might explain the failure of the graphical.target restart)

You could try to attach gdb to it and get a backtrace before killing it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Debugg … ng_process

Therr · 2024-05-29 05:24:49

Game crashes on more then 1 game (both wine and native,with gamemode/gamescope etc. and without), but to reproduce this error I always use HOI4, because then I am sure it will happen(which is why I don't think it's game fault)
EDIT:Process state normally is "R" (once it was "D", and only for a few seconds, but generally it's "R")

seth · 2024-05-29 06:40:05

But always wine steam?
Can you reproduce it w/ https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/warsow/ or any game in the dependency list of https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/sdl2/
( https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/blobby2/ is extremely low profile)

Therr · 2024-05-29 15:13:14

No, not only steam games. So far I tried 0ad and warsow and I can't reproduce this
EDIT: for example HOI4 is native and it always crashes. Other example is XDefiant (it needs some tinkering to launch so it might be produced by sth else, but I don't think so)
EDIT2: 0ad and warsow don't freeze. I don't have to kill with -9 to unfreeze my system
EDIT3: 0ad freezes too

I am noticing very similar issues to yours. Did you managed to figure out what is causing a problem?

exactly the same? In my case it freezes mostly in games... In yours too?

No, I'm killing the foreground process and hoping it'll help. Usually, after freezing and unfreezing 100 times, it eventually stops freezing

Can you "kill -11" the process? This will cause a segfault and maybe get us a coredump which then might hint at the cause…
@ascril, ryzen + intel arc as well?

Therr · 2024-06-06 14:52:53

Yes, I can kill -11 process... Should I do this coredump thing from arch wiki or from where?

seth · 2024-06-06 15:22:41

Therr · 2024-06-08 09:26:08

I made coredump (generate-core-file in gdb), here is the link:

EDIT: I used 0ad as an example

That's the binary coredump which is useless w/o the matching binaries that triggered it, please locally obtain and post the trace.

You mean output of bt command? Here it is
