Random freezes (and horrible graphics performances) on new laptop

Support
1

Dear all,

I’m struggling a bit with a new laptop (Tuxedo InfinityBook Pro 16 Gen 8).

This laptop has an integrated Iris Xe i915 GPU and a discrete Nvidia 4060 one (see output from inxi -G):

Graphics:
  Device-1: Intel Raptor Lake-P [Iris Xe Graphics] driver: i915 v: kernel
  Device-2: NVIDIA AD107M [GeForce RTX 4060 Max-Q / Mobile] driver: N/A
  Device-3: SunplusIT FHD Webcam driver: uvcvideo type: USB
  Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 21.1.8 driver: X: loaded: modesetting
    dri: iris gpu: i915 resolution: 1: 3840x2160~60Hz 2: 2176x1360~240Hz
  API: OpenGL Message: Unable to show GL data. Required tool glxinfo
    missing.

Right now I’m using the drivers I got after the base installation of Manjaro (i3 community edition). I found I was using libva-intel-driver.
The main issue I got was that I was experiencing random hard freezes of my machine; with “hard” I mean totally blocked, not even possible to switch to a tty (I could only use sysrq codes to sync and then reboot the machine via the hardware reset button). Nothing of relevance in journal too, apart from this error just before the freeze:

Sep 18 14:33:51 sadhana vivaldi-stable.desktop[24877]: libva error: /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so init failed

In any case I was wondering: right now I’m not using at all the discrete graphics card and I’d like to set things up properly so I can be able to liberally switch betweeen the integrated and discrete graphics card. I’m not sure how to do this…
This is what I can see right now in the Manjaro hardware configuration:

What’s the best path moving forward? should I just choose “Auto install proprietary driver”? or choose some of the options manually?

Also, in my attempt to improve things with the integrated GPU (and to see if this at leasts prevents the hard freezes) I’ve just removed libva-intel-driver and I installed instead intel-media-driver (that from what I read should be the more recent driver for Intel cards).

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

As for mhwd goes, I just tried choosing “Auto install proprietary driver”, so this is how it looks now (I can always go back to the previous state in no time, I’ve a full backup of my entire drive):

Any help is super appreciated!
I’m not sure what’s best but as the situation is right now, my laptop is using by default the i915 driver (intel-media-driver) and the performances are terrible; I’ve extensive screen tearing in my browser so any advice on how to improve on this situation is highly appreciated (I’m also considering the option of using the discrete GPU by default, even though I’ve no idea how to get there)

4

did you tried with different kernels? if not, try with the 6.1 and the 6.5, and see if it happens there too…
if you still have the same issue, remove these parameters:

reboot and test again…

also, did you noticed any issues when you were booting the live usb of manjaro? did had the same problems?

also provide logs, after the issues happen:
journalctl -b-1 -p4 --no-pager

Hi @brahma , thanks for following me up on this, super appreciated.

So, when I experienced the first few (and frequent) hard freezes I actually was on Kernel 6.5, so my guess is that going back to 6.5 won’t probably improve the situation (I might try it again though and report back).

The parameters you see were actually added by me in order to see if this could reduce the frequency of the freezes. I can try removing them and see if this changes anything but the gist of it is that I was experiencing the crashes before adding those params. Do you think the params might be the reason of the bad baseline performances I’m getting with the integrated GPU?

As for the live ISO; the crashes are not that frequent to be noticed when using the live ISO. sometimes I get 2 crashes in a day, sometimes I can work on for 2-3 days without any issue so it’s not something I can test easily just by running off the ISO sadly.

Next time I get a crash I’ll post the journal here.
Thanks again!

6

so it only happens when you are on the 6.5 kernel? otherwise it runs without issues?

7

No, it still happens now that I’m on 6.4.x.

8

so test also with the 6.1 … if the crash happens again provide the logs (edited the previous command to show logs from the previous boot…)
you can also switch to nvidia and see how it works there… install this:
pamac build envycontrol
when done and no errors, run:
sudo envycontrol -s nvidia
if will prompt you for reboot, so do it and see if it helped with the graphics performance…

Thank you so much, I’ll try both avenues and see if the situation improves!

Hi @brahma
I just switched to the discrete card with envycontrol -s nvidia and yes, performances are great now.
I’m even actually happy to keep it as a default (since I almost never use my laptop on battery power anyway).
Though, I’ve a different issue now: albeit everything works perfectly, I get frequent “freezes” of my external display. It just suddenly “freezes”: I can move my cursor and work normally on the laptop screen while my external display is completely “stuck”… if I run xrandr it too hangs for a few seconds before displaying its (correct) output. In order to fix it I have to switch to a TTY and then back to the graphic mode (TTY7) and it all comes back working as normal.
This very same issue seems documented in a post in the arch forum (it seems I cannot add a link to it here… it’s on bbs-dot-archlinux-dot-org-slash-viewtopic-dot-php?id=286419)

When this happens I see this in my journal:

So, it seems a “flip_done_timeout” and “vblank timeout” on the external display… but what puzzles me the most is that it’s related to the i915 driver… shouldn’t I be using the discrete card (nvidia)??

This is what my inxi -G looks like now:

Graphics:
  Device-1: Intel Raptor Lake-P [Iris Xe Graphics] driver: i915 v: kernel
  Device-2: NVIDIA AD107M [GeForce RTX 4060 Max-Q / Mobile] driver: nvidia
    v: 535.104.05
  Device-3: SunplusIT FHD Webcam driver: uvcvideo type: USB
  Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 21.1.8 driver: X: loaded: modesetting,nvidia
    dri: iris gpu: i915 resolution: 1: 3840x2160~60Hz 2: 2176x1360~240Hz
  API: OpenGL Message: Unable to show GL data. Required tool glxinfo
    missing.

Is my laptop still using the integrated GPU (at least partially) here? and if so, how can I make it so it uses exclusively the discrete one (or fix the issue with the flip_done_timeout and vblank timeout)?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

there is a ‘workaround’ on how to post links until you approved, just use formatting for links…

yes you should be running on nvidia … maybe its the intel drivers that you were tinkering with:

reverse all the changes that you made regarding the intel gpu, reboot and test…
also try with different kernels: 6.1, 6.5, since you should be on nvidia, there should no longer be the crashes…
also maybe the port for the external monitor is wired into the intel gpu?

Hi @brahma , thanks for all your input, it helped me a lot!
So, you were right about the ports. I checked with the laptop manufacturer (Tuxedo) and the confirmed that the usb-c port I was using was directly hardwired to the iGPU! fortunately, there is another usb-c port directly connected to the dGPU so I used that one and now I can see that the “gpu” used is the discrete one.
There was still some tearing going on on the external display but this was easy to fix just by enabling the “Full composition pipeline” in the nvidia settings panel, so now everything seems to work perfectly (I also moved up to Kernel 6.5).

Thanks again for the precious support!

settings made in the nvidia settings panel will be reset with every boot…
if that happens, you can enable the composition pipeline permanently with envycontrol:

sudo envycontrol -s nvidia --force-comp

reboot …

more info for envycontrol: just type envycontrol in terminal, and:

but we still dont know why the igpu doesnt work properly… maybe its the qtile you are using, something doesnt sit well with it, and everything would work without problems using some other desktop?

Ahh, that’s great to know thanks!
I noticed that (even by having the nvidia settings panel regenerate X11/xorg.conf that didn’t seem to make the changes persistent!); Until now I had solved it by re-applying the change via the nvidia-settings command at each reboot (I was doing it as part of my autorandr script) but envycontrol is definitely a better solution!
Thanks again
