GUI lag/high CPU usage after system update

Thank you for the links. I’ll see if they can help me.

Pls update the bios, this is also important.

Rev. 3621 or beta 3631 is out (2025)

Hey y’all - I had some time today, so I ran a full garuda-update. Post reboot, the system is sluggish AF, and everything lags, stutters, or is unresponsive for seconds at a time. Running btop isn’t showing unusual CPU activity, but nvtop is showing that both GPUs (intel igpu, nvidia dgpu) have significantly increased usage during the lag periods, then drops dramatically when the system becomes responsive again for a few seconds. Plasma becomes totally unresponsive for 30+ seconds at a time.

Here’s my post upgrade garuda-inxi:

✅ System health check passed. No issues found.

I can roll back, but my concern is that the number of packages to update will only continue to grow. This last update took, I kid you not, upwards of an hour, due to additional packages and AUR packages that needed to be compiled on update.

Firefox operates at a sluggish pace (as I type, I am watching each letter appear on screen as if on slow-mo), which is already an improvement over chrome’s constant unresponsive state, which somehow seems to exacerbate Plasma’s issues.

Any ideas on what to do here other than, rollback and wait for the packages to get updated? At this stage, I’m not even sure which of the packages are the culprit. If I knew, I’d hold them back until such time that the issues are resolved and at least update software that’s unrelated to this issue.

Edit: not sure if this is relevant, but after rolling back with snapper, and rebooting, the log complained [FAILED] Failed unmounting /run/bpftune/cgroupv2. Which seems to indicate that perhaps there’s an issue with the scheduler?

We need a list of the packages that have been updated, for example pacman.log or garuda update log (/var/log/garuda/). Since you have already performed a rollback again, copy the output of the displayed packages when you initiate the system update or use checkupdates for this purpose.

You three definitely have two things in common: Nvidia and Mokka. After the system update, did you try switching to the default Breeze theme to rule out the possibility that something is interfering with the Mokka theme and causing the increased usage?

I’ll send you all of that if you want, but it seems that everything I’ve posted on the subject so far already came from the updated system. I’ll post the output of garuda-diag a little later after I’ve updated my system :wink:

Likewise… Though in my case it may take a long while to update lol

Here is the link to the garuda-diag post-updates:

The problem seems almost solved!I don’t know how, but plasmashell is no longer misbehaving when idle.

shayaknyc, I think you should update to see if the issue is also resolved for you…
The only thing I tried to do after the updates was, in the case of a dual-monitor setup, to switch my primary screen with the second one! And everything seemed to go back to normal. Do you think that could have been the cause?

The problem is not entirely resolved because each time I reconnect, it seems I have to repeat the process of selecting my primary and secondary screens. :neutral_face:

If you need the output of any other commands, please let me know!

My system tends to misbehave when I haven’t rebooted in a while. This is especially true if I haven’t rebooted after a system update. I often don’t reboot for a week or more. The longer I go without a reboot the twitchier plasma becomes. After a while plasma will start to lag, freeze, or crash without a reboot. Restarting plasma and Kwin will settle things down for a while, but after a while even that won’t help and a reboot is required. It’s been quirky like this for a while, but it definitely got worse recently. I haven’t updated in about four days, so I guess I’ll see if an update improves Plasma’s recent behaviour.

Ok, as promised, I ran the update and here’s my garuda-diag output:

Strangely - I’m not getting intermittent lags/freezes…so, I may stick with this until/if it starts up again. I did not have weird primary/secondary monitor issues either.

(PS - Unrelated, the link preview for bin.garudalinux.org has a broken image. It’s supposed to load this img src: https://bin.garudalinux.org/img/apple-touch-icon.png but for some reason, the img src url is: Garuda's PrivateBin (seems to be repeating the bin.garudalinux.org twice) )

No, but what I suggest you do if, at startup, your system is still overloaded by PlasmaShell, is to select a secondary monitor as your primary monitor and apply the configuration. Then revert to the initial configuration! If it’s like my case, then it should return to normal until the next reboot or logout. Until a fix is ​​released…

Gotcha. In my case, everything just worked this time around. I guess 3rd time’s a charm (and maybe different upgrade versions)!

I have a Lenovo Legion 5 laptop with an Intel CPU, and a discrete NVIDIA graphics adapteer. In the UEFI, I can choose either ‘Discrete Graphics’ (the NVIDIA adapter), or ‘Dynamic’. Perhaps checking if either user has the same feature in their UEFI user interface will help them resolve their issues, because I’m not encountering any such issue here.

I have the same issues. Lags, GPU usage is above 100%, cpu has a constant 20-30% usage when almost doing nothing (before the update it was about 3-5%). I have a secondary screen connected, when I tried to switch to wayland (I’m using X11 because of nvidia issues) the secondary screen was detected but nothing could be displayed on it. My garuda-diag output: Garuda's PrivateBin

using the snapshot from before the udpate solves the issue but it’s not what I want :wink:

may the newer kernels will fix it. since 6.17.6 its working now better :wink:

It’s still not great! I’m still forced to switch between the primary and secondary screens, in my case! :sweat_smile:
