Hi guys,
I’ve been using Garuda for just under a year now and just recently updated my PC with a new Motherboard/CPU/RAM/SSD. I of course also went from Birds of Prey to the new and shiny version of Garuda in all it’s Dr460nized glory (thought I’d hate the theme, but it’s really growing on me with the pretty colours).
Suddenly, after using it for a while it started freezing, usually if I wanted to start a Youtube video or went to the Steam Store page. It would freeze visually, but the video would start playing in the background. If I press the mouse once more it would take quite some time before it stopped the video (30’ish seconds).
I got to googling and found the live-log option (quite new to Linux in general), journalctl -f
It showed me this pretty line:
win_wayland[3745]: kwin_wayland_drm: The main thread was hanging temporarily!
I found some similar’ish things;
I wanted to get into my power settings via Settings-System-Power Management, but it crashes…
I tried a memtest86, it found nothing (though I might not have run it long enough).
I tried the shiny new “Garuda update rescue tools” and the “Garuda update full fix”, but it didn’t fix the freezing.
Any suggestions?
