Crash when moving pointer in live usb

Trying to launch Manjaro KDE/GNOME with live cd in a XPS 9520. Version = 21.3.0-220617

  • Intel i7 12700H

  • Nvidia 3050 ti

  • 4k screen

I’m getting a crash when I just move the pointer with touchpad or mouse and after that I can’t do anything but shut down holding power button. Screen goes black when I move the pointer but it works when I use just the keyboard.

I tried minimal and full version, with open and proprietary drivers with always the same result. Ubuntu/Kubuntu 22.04 works out of the box.

Cheers!

Command used as described in the post before.

It doesn’t matter which desktop env you are using, I’ve tried KDE, xfce and GNOME Live USB, as soon as I start using the touchpad the screens starts flickering and turns black. Using only the keyboard this problem wont’ arise.

Thx, Andreas

@panabuntu @akiss

Could be an issue with the latest gpu and the power management.

Add this:

i915.enable_psr=0 i915.enable_fbc=0

to to the kernel parameter.

I experienced the same issues that panabuntu and akiss see. I attempted these kernel parameters in the installer and while the experience is marginally more stable (I previously found that the screen would just go blank unrecoverably after moving the mouse for too long), there is still extreme flickering/video corruption/tearing present when the mouse is moved, making the system unusable.

Laptop is Dell XPS 15 9520 (2022), same as panabuntu and akiss. Installer is manjaro-gnome-21.3.6-minimal-220729-linux515.iso.

Regards.

Hi,

Is there anything specific I should be looking for there? The only thing that looks potentially relevant is the i915.edp_vswing=2 boot parameter, which a) doesn’t seem to help, and b) is advice for a model from 2016.

Thanks.

without any information from your side it’s almost impossible to give better advice. please open your own thread, give a detailed information of the problem and provide us with basic information as the inxi that has been a basic info for everybody !

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem as the previous two commenters and exactly the same laptop. There’s nothing to add, except that the mitigations suggested by @megavolt—whilst preventing the system from locking up outright—provide only a marginal fix.

Thanks.

@panabuntu @akiss hey! anyone found a solution to this problem?

@klim This bug is resolved in the current installer (2022-12-24) however I required the following kernel parameters to boot with linux61-nvidia drivers:

ibt=off nvidia.modeset=0

No other issues detected thus far.
