Brand new gaming install, sluggish as hell after update

hello folks. I’m cursed =p so I installed a brand new install of the gaming edition, and until I run garuda-update, everything seems to work fine. Then I update, reboot and… all hell breaks lose. Even typing something is impossible, with around 5s lagging between typing and it showing up.

I’m only being able to type here from it because of Snappr. Thank you whoever first came up with the idea of setting this up right from the start.

I don’t think there’s anything on my inxi, but here it goes:

What are you doing?

IDK what pch is?
CPU max. is, 95,100 or 105°C)
Also check next time htop and if baloo is in action.

Edit:
If you use a snapshot post the log from garuda-update.

absolutely nothing. I have Konsole and Firedragon (with 1 tab, this for the forum) open.

I also don’t have any idea? O.o

That’s a bit much :slight_smile:
Is it hanging again?
Baloo is totally maxing out my notbooks, that’s why.

But Dolphin occasionally does too, and the CPU boils.
So when the stuttering starts check htop and app and temperature.

If that doesn’t help, just install normal version and then install games.

My Notebook is on powersafe (i3) but I can change to KDE.

I was using normal version before of this, KDE plasmashell was hanging all the time and I had to killall and stuff all the time.

Going for the reboot…

Before I change the notebook, check

sensors

It must be a heating problem, no one else post here about this sluggish thing.

running only nvtop, btop and Firedraon with a single tab

but if it is an overheating problem, I’ll leave this one for the Dell technician that’s coming tomorrow to check on the Bluetooth+Wifi chip

No problems here.

i would suggest deactivating the built-in GPU and use the discrete card exclusively for now, as it looks like your CPU is having a serious fit over providing your desktop environment in addition to handling system operations due to a sensor feedback failure - which is most likely caused by either a hardware failure of the sensor (unlikely) or some malfunctioning drivers for the chipset.

your battery may suffer a bit but it’s better than cooking your processor.

definitely have your Dell tech look into the motherboard’s chipset sensor failure, it may be software, it may be hardware. i cannot tell without hands on the machine.

actually, looks like it’ nvtop’s fault

but it does looks like following the procedures to disable the built-in GPU have taken effect. I’m gonna try the update again now.

hm. there’s one error on the update, from those procedures:

(26/32) Update NVIDIA module in initcpio
error: unable to run hook nvidia.hook: could not satisfy dependencies

ok, after update and reboot… no signs of lag. I can even post here as usual, without suffering the delay on writing. Running another update to be sure.

now that the computer’s mobo was replaced, I wonder how can I safely reenable the hybrid mode to test the onboard GPU again… Last time I tried to manually “undo the guidance” from Arch wiki on using solely the nVidia adapter I made such a mess that I spent the whole afternoon just putting it back to work only with nvidia XD

I wonder if I should, also. :rofl:

go for it, with new chipset the onboard GPU should function well.
if it doesn’t then it’s a driver issue and you can always disable it again until that package gets updated in the future.
