Many applications crashing several times a day => (Xwayland) of user 1000 dumped core

Since the last 4 weeks, several applications are crashing at the same time several times a day.

- Chrome, Chromium, Edge, VMware Horizon… all crash at the same time.
- Firefox does not crash!!!

Getting this message:
(Xwayland) of user 1000 dumped core.

I am using latest Manjaro with Gnome, 6.1 LTS kernel
I am having this issue on four different machines, INTEL & RYZEN CPUs.

journalctl --priority=3 --since='60m

Probably Firefox works in native Wayland mode? At least chromium and chromium based browser can also be run in wayland mode: Chromium - ArchWiki

At least it seems to be related to the mesa driver for Intel. Haswell architecture? Anyhow could be a also a problem with the hardware video acceleration.

Below/Above Broadwell-> libva-intel-driver
Above Broadwell → intel-media-driver

# Below/Above Broadwell
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965 vainfo
# Only Above Broadwell
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD vainfo

Thanks for your reply.

But I don’t think it is an INTEL driver issue, because I am am having the same behaviour on four different machines, and two of them have RYZEN CPUs.

Probably the issue is VMware Horizon ? As I know it only supports Xorg, not Wayland. Xwayland is not fully compatible with normal Xorg. It could be that this application trigger a request to the Xwayland server, which let it completely crash, thus a a specific extension in Xorg is needed… I saw the same with Chromium in the past, when it comes to gpu acceleration.

Ryzen (radeon/amdgpu) and Intel (i915) use both mesa. There might be in that regard related.

So maybe simply switch to Xorg when you need VMWare Horizen.

Thank you for the tip. This might really be the case, since Horizon declares Wayland is not supported.

I am now using the Horizon Web Version with Chrome, and things seem very stable, no crashes untill now, only the Horizon tab stops updating if it is minimized… I solved this by changing the window size for a second, this lets Horizon update again…
