Pretty much instantly after SDDM login the system freezes

German:

mv: der Aufruf von stat für ‘/etc/X11/xorg.conf’ ist nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

English:

mv: cannot call stat for ‘/etc/X11/xorg.conf’: file or directory not found

Also tried sudo modprobe nouveau from tty which resulted in some throwback to SDDM, let me log in normal but took some time everything has some gray veil over it with some high frequency flickering.
Second monitor responded though, even if it’s black screening until I go over with the mouse to see some colored artifact lines from left to right follow by normal readable

Hmm, that’s odd. :thinking:

Can you show this output:

Empty rows from xinitrc are from the file itself, it’s not some formatting done by me

For my personal interest and to not accidentally mislead or make anything harder, I’m running right now from the zen1 kernel since I can log into the main user booted with it but until the problem arose I only used the zen3 kernel, is that relevant in this context?

The kernel in use is relevant, yes. Each kernel can potentially have different drivers, modules, bugs, patches, etc than each other. Your issue seems to be specifically related to your GPU, but again different kernels can use different drivers or different versions of the same driver for the same hardware in some cases.

Normally it is not so painful to switch back to the open-source drivers; something odd is happening with your system. Is it possible something has gone wrong with your GPU, physically or otherwise? Does the GPU work normally on your other OS?

Speaking of different kernels, let’s try installing the LTS kernel and see if you get a different result.

sudo pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers
1 Like

As far as I can tell, the GPU just works as always booted into Windows.

Back in November my System looked like this on boot up:

I reverted back to a working snapshot and continued from there forward, which was fine until a few days ago

System starts up on the linux-lts kernel and I can log in, on first glance it’s like the zen1 kernel.

I’m not a Windows expert, but if you open the “device manager” it should announce if there is an issue with a hardware device or driver.

Hmm, looks kind of cool but not what I’d like to see on my login screen. :joy:

Nice, check the output of inxi -G to see if it is loading the driver normally now.

You’re speaking about this window, saw that my driver was kinda outdated, but was running without problems, even updated it just fine to the latest driver of 12th of January

Neither do I want to see that :joy:

On the picture thats attached I tried to use the somewhat same teal color that I see kind a few lines of when starting the system with the lts-kernel, will check after a restart if I can include these lines.

Starting the system back on zen3 kernel before we removed the nvidia driver, I got a system start(not every start up) preventing error that throw me a lot of these two lines alternating

[drm:nv_drm_atomic_commit [nvidia_drm]] ERROR [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000d00] Flip event timeout in head 0
[drm:nv_drm_atomic_commit [nvidia_drm]] ERROR [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000d00] Flip event timeout in head 1

In said teal color

Found this while scrolling through the journal:

And these were the teal color lines, probably, scrolling kinda fast

It’s still not loading the Nouveau driver. I can’t think of why that would be, I just have no idea. I was curious to see if the Nouveau driver would work without issue, but if it won’t load then obviously it’s not much use to us.

Since you are already on the LTS kernel, maybe you can try the LTS drivers and see if you have any better luck. You can reinstall any other Nvidia packages you wish to have back at the same time, for example:

sudo pacman -S nvidia-lts nvidia-settings

This has come up a few times, for example here: *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Flip event timeout on head 0

After you get the new Nvidia drivers installed you can try the fix they recommended in that thread:

Did that, system was doing some display recognition in the background(assumption; the usal, display goes dark, comes back, does that a few cycles and showed me a mirrored desktop on the second display when stabilized).
Rebooted the system when done and can log in just fine with second display working again.

What popped up in my mind was this window:

It was one of the windows I didn’t close just before the all dooming reboot, was rebooting cause I updated the system and played with theming in the meantime, but some folders had mixed up icons from different themes I switched through until I found my set of choice.
This window never came up again from the point where the freezes started to occur, sometimes the system loaded up more or less stuff, but never even once showed me this window until yet where the second display works again and the system no longer freezes after log in.

Could that be some potential root cause for my problems?

According this point:

Should I do this preemptive or just when it starts to happen again?

Litte addition to that:

I sometimes, over the usage lifespan of the system, had a weird behavior with the second display, where sometimes folders would be visually duplicated, primarily a folder I store some work related ISOs in, sometimes other folders from the second display. They never where interactable nor would they be able to be selected, and if I moved the “root” folder all the duplicates moved with with it.
In extreme cases like 4+ scrolls down the desktop, while not even the first row of icons would be filled up (where oriented horizontally).

:partying_face:

I don’t think so. I think the issue is caused by a new kernel, using a new version of the driver that has some bugs introduced and other problems. Other people also have problems with the most recent version of the Nvidia driver. I don’t think it is caused by anything you did, with this window or anything else.

I would not make the change unless the issue returns. If it is working well, let it be!

Thank you very much and I’m really grateful for you help. I can finally work with this system again and doesn’t need to rely on Windows, well still keeping it as a fallback.

I tried to boot the system with zen3 kernel just now, but that still hangs at the plymouth boot screen line, is there any fix you could think of?

Cause well, since it’s a zen3 based CPU I would believe the kernel is better optimized in that direction, but with my little understanding about kernels, I could be completely mistaken.

Unfortunately, the nvidia-lts package is only compatible with the LTS kernel. To use the other kernel, you must switch back to the nvidia-dkms package instead (which is the one that has the issues).

I would suggest for now to stick with the LTS kernel, and maybe in a few weeks try reinstalling nvidia-dkms to switch back to the other kernel and test if the issues have been resolved.

Well, that’s life sometimes, will do that in a few weeks.

If I grasp the vibe of the forum the right way, everything should stay in one topic, so if that time comes up and I try to get the zen3-kernel working again, it’s probably best to open up a new topic, referencing this one, in case I’m not able to do the process on my own after every reasonable effort taken, reasonable in the sense of not to destroy the base line any further if I feel I’m just doing this and doesn’t fix the original problem on my own?

And since your help lead to “a” solution, I’m kinda hesitant on what to mark here as “the” solution, cause it feels like a work around more than a solution.
But that may just be me :smiley:

Yes, I agree it will be best to open a new topic in that case.

I know what you mean. In this case, the “true” solution will be for kernel devs and Nvidia driver devs to patch their respective code and fix the bugs. So in that sense, the fix we have implemented is very much a workaround. The actual issue has not been solved, only avoided for now.

However, the main purpose of marking a solution is to make it easier for people with a similar issue searching in the forum for ideas to find things they can try. If the “solution” is only “for now I switched to a different kernel that doesn’t have the issue,” I think that is okay because it still might help someone. :slightly_smiling_face:
