Plasma random logouts

Support KDE Plasma
1

Ever since Plasma went from 5 to 6, I’ve been experiencing random logouts. Its usually associated with me opening up a program or a minimized window. Last year, I wiped the computer and reinstalled Manjaro with some new drives (finally made the jump to NVME). Even after a fresh install, I was still experiencing random logouts.

Lately, after the last update, I’ve gone from a couple of logouts a week to a couple of logouts a day.

My computer is old, but has been usuable up to this point. I have two GTX 970s in SLI. I asked about this over on the KDE forum, and someone pointed out that SLI is not being supported anymore. I was unaware of this as this build was 2014 or 15. Am I better off pulling one of the cards and just going with one, or does that make a difference? Just curious if there’s any instability associated with still using SLI with changes made to support since it was used earlier.

Here’s a crash report from today

Hullo,
These are not verbose enough to be of much use.
Instead please use

I dont know if its related … but I do note this BIOS version is relatively old and there is a newer version available from Asus, though it is marked ‘beta’.
https://www.asus.com/supportonly/z97pro/helpdesk_bios/

Again I am unsure if it is related … but you do have a rather tiny SWAP.
I note that the system has ~32gb of memory so it is unlikely to get full easily, but that SWAP will not cover much. Though usually if you run out the system will lock up.

Have other kernels been given a try?
Its not like the hardware is super new so there is not much reason to chase newer kernels.
Maybe try 6.6 or 6.1.

So 2 nvidia gpus?
The stack trace of the xorg coredump does mention nvidia.
Have any special configurations been made for the nvidia cards (DRM-KMS, module conf)?

I tend to not touch the bios once its working. Although if this creates a solution I would be willing to try it. Being a beta, doesn’t give me comfort though

From what I understood, SWAP is not as significant with larger amounts of RAM. I’ve never gotten past 20gb of use. Since its a desktop and I don’t put it to sleep, is SWAP a significant thing for me? Feel free to let me know if I misunderstand SWAP.

I was using 6.11 kernel that was listed as outdated with this latest Manjaro update. I read the update thread before updating. I’m slowly learning my lessons :slight_smile: I did change up to 6.12. I’ve got 6.6 installed as a fallback option. I was just trying to stay with the most current LTS. I’ll give that a try.

Yes, 2. When I built this, that was considered an option as the two 970s were cheaper than the one 980 at the time. I was still using a Windows partition for gaming at the time.

I do not believe I’ve done any configurations for the Nvidia cards. I just selected the proprietary video drivers when I reinstalled Manjaro. That’s as much as I did. Is there further things I should be doing?

Thanks

It’s unknown whether updating the BIOS will solve anything specific to your issue. Generally, a non-beta BIOS update may be suggested, if one is available.

In your case there isn’t an updated non-beta BIOS available.

Before considering updating to the beta BIOS previously mentioned, I’d probably want to know exactly what benefit it might give (if any). The linked page doesn’t seem to give any useful information, beyond that it’s a beta BIOS.

So, it’s a gamble.

You asked for some clarification regarding SWAP.

SWAP is important if wishing to hibernate; generally, SWAP size equivalent to your RAM capacity (or greater) is recommended. During Manjaro installation this default is offered when hibernating, or only half that amount when not.

With larger amounts of RAM (for example, I use 64 GB currently) the likelihood that all of that RAM will be used; requiring data held in memory to be swapped out; is reduced (as you suggest) but is still possible.

I’d personally prefer to have sufficient SWAP defined and it rarely be needed, than to not have enough (or any) defined, and suffer the potential consequences.

It’s your computer, and you are the system administrator responsible for maintaining your system. Only you can decide if lack of sufficient SWAP poses a significant risk for you.

We can only bring it to your attention.

They are the kernels I am using; albeit on newer hardware (and AMD graphics rather than Nvidia). No issues with 6.12.

On older hardware there is often no pressing need to update to the latest-and-greatest kernel; in fact, in some cases it can even be detrimental.

Using kernel 6.6 (LTS) and 6.1 (LTS) as a fallback seems a fair compromise. I dare say, if there comes a time that combination is no longer practical, it’s probably time to be considering new hardware, in any case.

Regards.
