You probably did it with the EOL kernel …
oh yes
now I am using the LTS kernel… do I need to redo it?
If you did it from GRUB menu, then yes, you lose that upon reboot.
If you did it on /etc/default/grub then updated grub, then you don’t have to do it again.
ok so I don’t have to do it again… I checked and it’s still there
Thank You Very Much!!
I have done all so far except swap…
To do so I just need to install zram-generator package from repositories?
You can, but if you now also add the by bogdancovaciu advised “intel_pstate=active” kernel parameter then you won’t know if it was that one or the earlier advised “intel_idle.max_cstate=0” parameter which you added before. It’s in that sense probably useful to test either in isolation – at the moment
cat /proc/cmdlineshould be saying that you are running with “intel_idle.max_cstate=0”. If you let it run long enough to be satisfied that it’s now not freezing you’d have pinpointed it to that intel_idle driver.
I.e., again my advise is to for now sit back and do nothing until either the system freezes again or you’re satisfied that it won’t anymore.
is this correct, then?
[euki@euki ~]$ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.15-x86_64 root=UUID=846d6e8e-7a8e-4beb-94b0-3f6d858347d2 rw quiet apparmor=1 security=apparmor udev.log_priority=3 intel_idle.max_cstate=0
Yup. If the system’s now stable for long enough without rebooting it’ll be confirmed that it’s that c-state thing again. You can in that case keep things as they are, try “intel_idle.max_cstate=1” instead, or as mentioned try and rummage through your BIOS setup (I believe it’s by the way for your machine a matter of tapping F10 while it’s starting to get there) to see if there’s anything possibly related to set there.
But, then, for now please just do nothing 
ok… i did chage the audio settings and installed manjaro-pipewire
as a matter of fact the system is stable now
Okay, if you’re satisfied that the system’s stable now, it’s supposedly fixed by the “intel_idle.max_cstate=0” kernel parameter. bogdancovaciu’s advised “intel_pstate=active” is a little too related though for me to feel confident that it wouldn’t also fix things for you and if that one gets rid of that
could not read from '/sys/module/pcc_cpufreq/initstate': No such device`error message, seems you want it anyway, so it would in that case be better.
That is, what I would do is:
- Change /etc/default/grub again to instead of “intel_idle.max_cstate=0” have “intel_pstate=active” in that GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“…” string as before, save the file, rerun “sudo update-grub”, reboot and see if things are stable now also.
If yes, and certainly if indeed also that above “no such device” error is gone, go to 3. If not:
- Change /etc/default/grub again to additionally have besides “intel_pstate=active” also “intel_idle.max_cstate=0” in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“…” , save the file, rerun “sudo update-grub”, reboot and see if things are stable now.
Supposedly they are and supposedly/hopefully still that “no such device” error is gone. If not, remove the “intel_pstate=active” again (and save, rerun sudo update-grub, etc…) but that would be unexpected. So if stable as expected, try for possibly better battery life:
- Change /etc/default/grub again to now have “intel_idle.max_cstate=1” instead (still alongside the pstate one), save, etc, etc, and see again.
If still stable, keep it at that – or tap F10 during boot to enter your machine’s BIOS setup and try and see if there’s a settable option there that looks related and that also fixes things without you needing that intel_idle.max_cstate option at all. Sort of doubt it on a laptop, but you can supposedly just see – you’d of course need to remove the option from /etc/default/grub (and save, rerun, etc, etc) to test the effects of any possibly found BIOS option in isolation.
mhh ok The system has remained stable so far…
I will do it
and see what happens
I´ll be posting the journal errors here tomorrow
Thank You !!!
Well it is not stable at all. It froze twice and I had to do a hard reset on the second freeze… Here is the journal:

I only did step 1, as rene1 suggested.
The problem is still there (Freezing)Okay, it does seem that the systemd-udevd error about’/sys/module/pcc_cpufreq/initstate is no longer there, so as said, now do 2. I.e., add back “intel_idle.max_cstate=0” while also keeping “intel_pstate=active” – and I stress each time that after editing and saving /etc/default/grub you need to run sudo update-grub and reboot.
Then, assuming that things are again stable, feel free to now or at a later time experiment with changing it to “intel_idle.max_cstate=1” and/or with your BIOS settings, as detailed before.
Thank You… I’ll keep my eyes wide open, and see what happens…
I will post back in about two days.
Thank You Very Much!!!
Hello again
The system is more stable but still freezes even though the episodes are easier to control. I can reboot at least… but why is it still freezing???
I am providing my journal:

By the way a new problem has appeared. The monitor flickers from time to time, That’s why I switched to kernel 5.19.17, because the LTS kernel had this problem. I had forgotten it.
What can I do??
Thank you for your help
You would appear to now be looking at a different class of “freezing” than before, i.e., the kernel trying its best to cope with enormous memory pressure that you’re putting the system under either “legitimately” or as a matter of a memory leak in some piece of software.
We see “brave” being OOM-killed; I don’t use Brave and have as such no idea about its track record as to memory leaks but especially if you have custom themes and/or specific add-ons installed that can very well be the reason for Brave growing without bound. I would as such first of all shelve Brave and/or your customizations/add-ons for it for a bit and see if things are still troublesome with plain Firefox.
I also see you’re on an 8G system and as bogdancovaciu already noted, are without configured swap. 8G isn’t hugely roomy for modern use; would “by and large” do for “normal use” of “a desktop system” but that’s a lot of quote-marks to need, so I’d follow the advise to add some swap. Personally I tend to (modulo hibernation) feel it useless to add more than say 2G of swap on an 8G system since if you’re deeper into swap the system’s uselessly slow anyway – but that’ll in fact be a bit better on NVMe as you seem to have there, and you be the judge; the size of your “virtual memory” will be the size of RAM + the size of swap.
To add a 2G swapfile, you do
$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=2K
$ sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
$ sudo mkswap -U clear /swapfile
$ sudo swapon /swapfileAt this point e.g. “free” should show your 2G of swap. Make the 2K be 4K for a 4G swapfile and so on instead if you want more. Then add it also to /etc/fstab. I.e., with “sudo nano /etc/fstab” or alike you add a line
/swapfile none swap defaultsand save.
I’d do both. I.e., add swap as per above and use plain Firefox without (too many) add-ons for at least a bit to see if indeed Brave is/was the culprit.
As to the monitor flickering: feel free to change back to the newer kernel. The in /etc/default/grub added kernel parameters will also be applied to it so things should remain working in that sense.
Thank You Very Much rene1.
I added the 2G swapfile and changed the kernel again.
I’ll keep you posted
As of today the system has remained as stable as never before.
A question: should I switch to “intel_idle.max_cstate=1” while also keeping “intel_pstate=active”? Would it be better?
Thank You Very Much
Yes, you’d keep the “intel_pstate=active”.
At the moment the intel_idle CPU power-management driver is disabled fully by settings intel_idle.max_cstate=0. This causes the system to retreat to the acpi_idle driver and may not be a big deal but this depends then on how well in your case acpi_idle, i.e., your BIOS, handles CPU power management.
If you haven’t noticed that for example your fans are permanently on/louder now whereas they did not use to be and/or that you have significantly lower battery life now in Linux than in Windows I’d keep things as they are. If you are noticing that then you’d want to experiment a bit further. Maybe even trying with e.g. “intel_idle.max_cstate=4” and only if that doesn’t help to avoid the freezes go to 3, then if still not to 2, if still not to 1, if still not back to 0.
But I’d then feel you’d only need to bother if you’re noticing a power/heat issue with the “intel_idle.max_cstate=0” setting.
Thank You. I will do it.
By the way today before answering you, my screen started flickering again… i am using now kernel 6.0.8-1. Why is it still happening?
