Periodic Slowness / Chugging / Choppiness & Crashes

Issues & Assistance
1

Sometimes when I boot it works fine for hours (or the entire time it is running), but some times it becomes rather choppy (also pretty much all the time after initial boot for a few minutes). Loading and using websites is sluggish/delayed.

At times, while watching a video, the entire screen will freeze up. Sometimes it will correct itself after 10-20 seconds and other times it will remain locked (I can still hear the audio from the playing video).

In the log I see a bunch of stuff (hardware & software) being reset/restarting/reinitializing. I got this CPU crash in the journal today:

I wrote this guide in the FAQ section just for you :smile:

As you have not mentioned trying, the first thing to do is testing alternate kernels. As your hardware is rather new the first one to test is the linux-mainline kernel.

Lots of other suggestions in that FAQ tutorial for you to read and try as well.

Could you upload a journal file of a sluggish system?

4

Yes that would be helpful as this is not a complete freeze at times there should be some indication in your logs as to the cause. I'm guessing your video drivers are the culprit, but too soon to say.

5

I've already tried some of the things in your guide. I tried LTS and mainline kernels, the frequency of issues seems to be about the same. I do noticed that going earlier than LTS the issues become more frequent and sometimes won't completely boot.

I tried some suggestions for kernel parameters for Nvidia cards, but none of them made any difference and one caused it to fail to boot. Don't know if there are any other parameters that I should try.

The BIOS is up-to-date (there was an update last month for a security issue).

The memory and disk seem to be fine, never saw anything odd related to them. It doesn't seem to let me run any tests on the drive (maybe because it's ssd), but the info states everything is fine - no errors or issues.

One odd thing - not sure if it has anything to do with it: Kernels earlier than 5.17 cause the active program window to freeze up for a few seconds when I press the function modifier key.

Here is a link to download the log that includes the CPU crash: Send (Pastebin said it was too big)

If you look on the top right hand side of the forum there is a link for a private bin that is very useful for a pastebin type replacement service with an expiry date. This is preferable to making assistants download logs. I am only on my cell ATM, and downloading logs is not very convenient when using a cell.

Thanks

There was an update to kernel 5.18 (I figured that was going to happen soon).

Only difference I've seen so far is that the nvidia driver segfaults along with optimius manager. So the nvidia card is no longer usable.

I guess the current Nvidia driver doesn't work with 5.18.

I'll let you know if I notice any other changes.

I guess the current Nvidia driver doesn’t work with 5.18.

Add ibt=off kernel parameter.

10

Thanks.

I will not add the parameter for a few days and see if I am still experiencing the other issues. If not, it may be the Nvidia driver causing the issues. Not sure why this would be a direct issue though since it seems to be a 12th gen processor feature. I have an 11th gen processor.

11

Since upgrading to 5.18 final, I've not seen a crash or major issue in the past few days. I will set this as the solution. I can't pinpoint what exact change fixed the issues or what the cause was. Since I tried and had the same issues in an earlier beta of 5.18, it could be something changed or added in a later beta. I don't believe it had anything to do with the Nvidia driver, since it didn't work in the 5.18 beta I had tried, yet the issues were still present then.

I am still seeing a few of the minor "symptoms" I was seeing before, but they don't get progressively worse like they used to... or at least nowhere near as quickly as they did.
