My laptop (ThinkPad X1 Carbon gen. 4) completely hangs at random times on the actual kernel (6.0.8 at the time) and on the latest LTS kernel 5.15. Also tried Linux Zen 6.0.8.1 from Arch repos with the same result.
How it looks: at some point the system stops accepting commands. At first the mouse looks like functional, I can minimize-maximize and move the windows, but their content is not displayed anymore, only artefacts, Application menu doesn’t work and applications couldn’t being runned. Yakuake(F12) is not called, switching to another session via Ctrl+Alt+F* does not work, Ctrl+Esc does not response. Once I catch hanging with active Konsole and it didn’t respond to commands. Even that hangs deeper after a while. The system completely stops responding to any command, even the hardware CapsLock indicator stops switching. The only thing left is a hard shutdown by holding down the power button.
It’s definitely not overheating - before and during the hanging fans weren’t working even halfway.
It’s definitely not a problem with fs - tried both btfs and (now) ext4.
It must not be a RAM problem, cuz I didn’t done any RAM (or CPU) consuming operations during the hanging, and the problem isn’t connected with load out. I can play games without any problems, but sometimes it may hang in browser with 3-5 tabs.
The fwupdate is done, the firmware for the bios is latest and dated 11.2022.
The same problem was on EndeavourOS, so this problem is not specific to the Manjaro.
Now I’m using the oldest available kernel (4.19.267-1) and it doesn’t have the problem. Only once I faced plasma crashed, but I don’t think that’s related to the described problem, although on fresh kernels the plasma didn’t crash.
Here is my current state of inxi -Fxz
