I’m learning Linux as I write this, so I request you to please be a bit clear and patient with my logs. For no specific reason, I have tried to update to latest kernel from the kernels page in System Settings.
However, after every reboot, my system crashes right in SDDM and I can’t even enter TTYs. I’ve read through online and am sharing my logs I retrieved with the following command:
journalctl --system -b -1 > journalctl.txt
Please find it here:
Just in case someone is not able to access it due to country restrictions, I’m adding the bug stack trace here.

Some more relevant details:
This screenshot is taken on the stock kernel. The kernel I’m having problems with is 5.16.14-1 and it seems installing it from Kernels page has installed the following packages.
linux516 and nvidia516
I guess that is the problem, as I actually have a Dual GPU laptop and only updating the nvidia package might have caused it, but I’m not sure.
As to why I went with installation, I don’t have any problems with the stock kernel. Just upgraded so that I can learn the process. Because I got issues, I reverted back to the stock kernel.
Can someone please explain what is going on here? Here’s a list of problems I have with newer kernel.
- After every reboot or shutdown, I get the above mentioned crash.
- On wake-up, bluetooth gets disabled.
- Sometimes CPU suddenly spikes to 100% and everything hangs for a few seconds.
And btw, forgot to mention, I’m on Wayland and not on Xorg. This is because I have a 4k display and Firefox is so laggy in terms of scrolling content in X on large resolutions. Also, I have two displays and fractional per display scaling is not supported in X.
Please do let me know if in case you need any extra details apart from these.
Thanks in advance!
