Entire system randomly becomes unstable, windows flicker and sometimes stop responding

teo8976 · 26 October 2022 18:05

I had this exact same issue with OpenSUSE, and it was one of the unbearable issues that made me switch to Manjaro, and now I am observing the same thing on Manjaro too. That’s not very surprising, it just means that wherever the bug is, it’s in some piece of the system that is shared by both distributions, which again, is not surprising.

At random times, for no apparent reason, different applications randomly start to behave erratically, exhibiting any of the following symptoms:

rapid flickering of random regions of the screen. Usually a given rectangular region of the screen alternates between displaying the contents of the focused tab and the contents of another random inactive tab of the same application (but it’s not the entire contents of the tab, it’s a random rectangular region of it). I’m not sure whether the fact that
then sometimes the affected application will stop responding to mouse and/or keyboard. I always doubt whether the application is actually not responding, or if it’s “invisibly” doing all it is supposed to do, but part of the screen is frozen and it looks like it’s doing nothing. What makes me doubt this is that most of the time, the close button on the corner of the window will succesfully close the affected application.
another thing that makes me wonder if it’s just part of the screen not refreshing, as opposed as applications really not responding, is that when the affected application is playing audio (e.g. Chrome playing a video), the audio usually keeps playing. Again, for example, I may be playing a video in Chrome, and part of the image freezes or jumps pathetically, but the audio keeps playing. Although, now that I think about it, I was unable to pause the video by clicking on the pause button in one occasion. So, I don’t know, it seems a mix of unresponsiveness to input, and parts of the screen randomly freezing or “jumping”.

This happens especially often in Chrome, to the point that for a while I thought this was a Chrome bug, but just now I have seen the exact same thing happen in other programs.

What are the next diagnosing steps? I want to get to the bottom of this and turn this into a bug report to the right bug tracker.

first do this:
open this file:
kate /etc/environment
and add there this line:
QT_LOGGING_RULES='*=false'
save it… it will disable kwin/qt logs, so that they are more readable…

did you try different kernels? if no, install the 6.0.2 from system settings/kernel, reboot and boot with it and see if it helped…
if not provide logs:
journalctl -b0 -p4 --no-pager
but provide them after the flickering happened

teo8976 · 26 October 2022 20:29

Thank you so much.

No I had not tried other kernels.

I have now installed 6.0.2 and am running it. I will report back if the issue persists, or if a reasonably long time goes by without observing it anymore. I have also edited /etc/environment as you said.

Meanwhile, there were a bunch of warnings in the output when installing the new kernel.
Is any of them worth worrying about?

Below is the complete output.

the output looks ok, the warnings are nothing to worry about… everyone has them

vikram72 · 27 October 2022 00:23

I was facing similar problems. Manjaro downloaded April 2022, KDE Plasma Desktop.

Frequent hangs, etc. Keyboard/mouse - very feeble and slow response during the freeze/hangs.

I stopped using Chrome and Microsoft-Edge and switched to Vivaldi.

I have not uninstallled Chrome, but not using it now. Have uninstalled MS-Edge.

It’s been 24 hours and not a single problem. I’ve also uninstalled Kmail and all its associated programs.

I am using Kernel version 6

teo8976 · 1 November 2022 23:52

The bug is still present after the kernel upgrade.

Below is the output of journalctl -b0 -p4 --no-pager.
I ran now this just after observing issues, but I had also observed issues several minutes ago.

I don’t know whether the timestamps are in GMT or in my local timezone which is currently GMT+1.
Either way the last message is from more than 24 hours ago.

you have these following with the kernel call trace logs…
it looks that these are common on lenovo, and without any fix…

lets try some kernel parameters:
kate /etc/default/grub
and in this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT inside the quotes add this parameter:
ahci.mobile_lpm_policy=1
dont remove any parameters from there, just add it to the existing ones;
save the file, update grub:
sudo update-grub
reboot and test

Some options for you to try out (from my notepad Intel Xorg config | root.nix.dk)

intel driver configuration

For Early KMS - edit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

MODULES=(... i915 ...)

Rebuild initram

mkinitcpio -P

Reboot your system

reboot

Configuration /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
    Driver      "intel"
    Option      "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

Or

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
    Driver      "intel"
    Option      "AccelMethod"     "sna"
    Option      "TearFree"        "true"
    Option      "SwapbuffersWait" "true"
    Option      "DRI"             "2"
EndSection

Use wayland

Install the package plasma-wayland-session

sudo pacman -Syu plasma-wayland-session

Log Out then select wayland at lower left corner of you login greeter and login.

Is that a general suggestion, or do you actually think that that can fix the issues? Do you believe these could be bugs in Xorg that are not present in Wayland?

(and as a general question, is Wayland already anywhere near something stable that can be relied upon for everyday use by a normal person using a computer to do actual work other than testing or contributing to Wayland?)

linux-aarhus · 2 November 2022 13:39

I don’t think wayland is a magic wand - it is a process of elimination - no more no less.

I do actual work every day - using Plasma with Wayland - contract work for a client and my system is as stable as I need it and I need it stable. I run several VirtualBox VMs developing and testing .NET 4 Web API server and webclient.
