Issues & Assistance GNOME
1

I have no idea why this is happening. As visible in the video i am having issues with things not working properly and glitching. This issue occurred today i dont know how. It most likely happened after last system update i used the garuda-update command this time(i don’t want to mess up something and i learnt my lesson)
If anymore info is required please tell me.

Can you try the lts kernel and see if it persist

From you inxi, looks like your are just running integrated intel graphics.
This might be related as you stated it happened after a system upgrade:

(A fix is in the works. check the links for tracking)

Best to revert to a working snapshot. Then wait for the fix.

Yep i only have integrated intel graphics so i have to use it.
From what i was able to understand from the post a pkg is causing this issue so should i attempt to remove it manually?(i tried to find a snapshot before the update but cant find one as i have multiple snapshots rn due to downloading yt-dlp and removing yt-dl etc is there a way to see which snapshot to use? i can send a screenshot of available snapshots?.) or should i wait for the fix from the devs?
Also thank you for mentioning this:slight_smile:

Don’t remove packages. If it has to do with what I think it is, it won’t help. Try to find a working snapshot if you can, or wait for a fix.

If you can’t find a working snapshot, I would recommend you doing a memtest just in case.

In fact, the package has already been “hotfixed” (aka reverted to the previous state)

I’m currently waiting for @TNE to review the linked MR, before merging it. But nevertheless the package should no longer be causing issues.

@Private0im if you already restored a snapshot, can you run a garuda-update without confirming the transaction (just abort when it prompts for your consent to update) and post the output here? This way we can see what is going to be updated to further diagnose whats going on.

I did restore to another snapshot but i dont think its the correct one as the issue is still there and the latest snapshots are of today only(i.e. 11 Nov the number is 203) after that the snapshot number is 166.
But in case it still helps here is the output:

This indicates the correct packages are getting pulled, and not the previous broken version of the graphics config.

Ohk I will update it in 2-3 hours and tell if the issue is still there

20

So i have updated the system but the issue is still there

21

Try updating again now since the packages have been updated. (to answer your question you made in a different thread)

If that doesn’t fix your issue, I would go over previous mentioned suggestions in this thread. It could be kernel, memory, or even a BIOS related issue.
