A couple months ago, my pc started to often crash when streaming video.
First, the picture freeze while the sound does a “broken-record”-loop of 1-2 sec. After ~30-60 seconds of broken record, it reboots. When I had it set to auto-login, it actually directly resumed the crashed session, restarting all opened windows.
Recently, this has changed to just broken record forever, without rebooting. This happens regardless which site I’m streaming from, be it Youtube, Netflix or anything else.
When in first occurred, I was running the 5.10 LTS kernel, now I switched to 5.15 LTS, but the problem remains.
I wonder if it could be a symptom of my machine getting old (it’s 5 years or sth…)?
I suspect sudden CPU spikes due to overheating (or vice versa?).
Could anyone help find out what the root cause is?
I’ve been wanting to try if it’s the same under a different OS, but having trouble installing that…
When the system reboots after a crash, there are some boot messages that look like they could be about the crash, but never displayed long enough to take a picture. Also, it’s now not rebooting anymore (which I don’t know if that’s better or worse than before…)
Am I sort of in the right ballpark thinking that overheating can cause this sort of crashes?
However, without a log there’s nothing to go on.
With journalctl -b -1, you get the full journal/log from the last boot until the reboot/crash.
The most helpful entries should be at the very end.
This doesn’t seem to report everything since before the crash. It’s now 15:20, (5 min since auto-reboot after crash), but the journal only goes till 14:04…
I’ll have to try that. can’t reproduce reliably, since crash does not happen each time I stream video, just pretty often. But if I watch video in a X11 session for an hour like 10 times with no crash, It’ll be safe to say Wayland was the problem. Have there been other reports of this happening under Wayland?
That must have happened when I tried to route the sound from PulseAudio to my Raspberry Pi over the network. It was kinda successful, but very messy.
Which is the default preinstalled sound server for Manjaro KDE?
I’ve had exactly the same problem symptoms for about 9 months and with different distros (Fedora, Manjaro). My hardware isn’t old (2 yr old MSI MAG x570 Tomahawk WiFi) and Windows works fine. It happens while streaming audio too and under both Wayland and Xorg and with both the nouveau and nvidia drivers. I’ve had trouble even installing recent versions of those distros (and Ubuntu). Especially the KDE based versions. I think I was using the KDE version of Manjaro when I first encountered this problem.
Sorry no - I don’t know the cause or any solution. I installed Manjaro (Gnome) about a week ago and so far I haven’t had this problem with it and I’m just hoping it’s gone away for good. It’s so general a problem though - cross-distro, cross-WM etc. - that my guess is that some regression in the kernel is the root cause. On Fedora I did once see a post-crash report mentioning unix_stream_read_generic but it disappeared (yet another bug perhaps sigh) before I could investigate or file a bug report.
So just now it happened. I’m not 100% sure the session that just crashed was X11 not Wayland, but the rebooted login screen had X11 pre-selected. Is there maybe a way to check if the previous session was also X11? Anyway, here’s the log:
