So here’s a new one – I had ran garuda-update on Friday morning and got a gaggle of updates; enough of them that I had to disable Wayland on login again, as Synergy (a software KVM) isn’t Wayland compatible yet.

Now, since said update, I sporadically lock up tighter than Fort Knox. The mouse freezes, or the cursor will move but the screen is locked where I can’t click on anything, or the screen blanks like going to sleep and won’t wake up.

I end up having to hard boot the system. This never happened before the last updates. I think the major – MAJOR update was Plasma to the latest revision. That’s about the only real difference I can see.

Thoughts?

I’d start by running

journalctl -xeb -1

to start reading at the end of the last 1000 lines of the previous boot’s log, use the up arrow key to scroll up, see if you spot any clues there.

If that’s not enough log then drop the e from -xeb to start at the beginning of the log and scroll down.

Also experiencing this; reinstalling all packages through Garuda Assistant helped at one point; issue is now only happening when running certain programs such as
VLC; or streaming video in browser for long periods which may be happening from exploits.

So it just happened again. I was removing Mailspring via snap and the system just went apesh*t. The caps lock key light on the key board started blinking and it was dead in the water … I’ll take a look at the log per @dawe 's suggestion, but she boots just fine … it’s happening during operation that the issue arises…

5

log’s not showing squat I’m afraid … I really hope I don’t have to reinstall this beast again … I finally got things the way I like / want it … le sigh

After a second reboot this morning I rebooted into the zen fallback kernel in GRUB. Immediately was presented with a slew of updates:

Screenshot_20240320_182751
Screenshot_20240320_182751645Ă—680 77.7 KB

I have to presume that one of these with my current config is the culprit. Now I know better than to install these updates, lest I muck over the fallback config, but would it be a safe presumption that I can go back to my normal kernel, create a snapshot and revert these to an older version?

Booting the fallback kernel doesn’t give you access to a separate set of packages, you’re booting the same system with the same packages on a different kernel.

The KDE packages are getting frequent updates lately for obvious reasons and your system looks days out of date. I’d start with a system update just to pull in the latest bug fixes.

Alright … thanks @dawe … I’ll reboot and give that a go. thanks for keeping up with this one.

No worries. I know how frustrating it can be.

I have a Dell G5 5505 that does pretty much the same if I don’t pass a kernel switch to disable amdgpu power management. It took longer than I’d like to admit to figure that one out.

10

After successfully performing a sudo pacman -Syu – I had a full night of no lock ups … then another kernel panic. I did a search on ye olde interwebs and thinking of what you said @dawe about the gpu power management, I found this

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=293512

It turns out that nvidia borked the driver update yet again. Now I have an onboard Intel in this beast of a machine as well – but how do I flip over to it to dissuade the Geforce card kicking in … izzat a bios thing? I don’t do any heavy gaming or what not … hell … I basically watch anime and shop amazon these days … too freaking busy to do anything else it seems…

Nice find. That’s probably it.

It depends, there may be an option to disable it in BIOS, but even if there is you may not want to go that route if you dual-boot.

I think blacklisting nvidia’s kernel module would be easiest. It won’t use the buggy driver if it doesn’t load it. And it’s easy to reverse later on.

This might help too

It’s still showing as the 3d controller … but I think thats just cuz I’m an idiot and fergot to add it to the list.

I’ll let you know in a day or two if I had anymore kernel panics …

14

Yeah nice!

Don’t worry if it still shows up in lspci, “lspci -k” will show what driver is loaded for devices, but this is a job for lsmod so you can scope everything the kernel loaded. Try it by itself, then try “lsmod | grep nvidia”.

15

If I am reading this right … still worked as desired…

If your /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-blacklist.conf is right then you probably just need to

sudo dracut-rebuild

to rebuild the initramfs with the changes so it stops loading those while booting.

18

yeah that failed … hard … rebooted after rebuilding and it locked up after grub … looks like I have to live with the BS until nVidia fixes their shiz and gets their act together…

unless you have any other ideas? I mean … did I miss something? Sure the black list worked … but the intel didn’t kick in afterwards … I had to have missed something …

19

A manual downgrade to 545.x or switching to nvidia-open might be of assistance

Downgrading the drivers may be worth a shot if you are running out of ideas.

sudo downgrade nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils nvidia-settings [blah blah blah]

The [blah blah blah] will be a list of any packages you have which depend on nvidia-dkms or are otherwise bound to this version of the drivers. Don’t forget 32-bit libraries if you are using those. If the downgrade fails because of a dependency, you will need to add that package to the downgrade as well.

This person has put together what seems to be a fairly comprehensive package list, for example: How can I roll back to the previous version Nvidia? - #9 by dmali - Pacman - EndeavourOS

sudo downgrade nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils nvidia-settings opencl-nvidia lib32-nvidia-utils lib32-opencl-nvidia libxnvctrl

Your list may end up being different, but maybe that would at least be a jumping off point.

I would try downgrading all the packages to the same version of 545.xx, whatever the latest version on the downgrade list is that they all have in common.

Nah, the manufacturer probably wired up the LCD to the nvidia rather than the intel, so nvidia has to be running to get output on the panel regardless of which is generating the image.

It should still boot with display from any of the previous kernels, use one of those to undo the module blacklist and run the previous version until nvidia gets around to fixing it like @BluishHumility suggested.

21

Okay – I don’t know what I did – but (knocks on wood) I haven’t had a kernel panic in 5 days. Looks to may have been cleared up.
