System freezes on KDE Wayland, stable on X11

Support KDE Plasma
1

Hi,

I’m experiencing random full system freezes on KDE Plasma Wayland on Manjaro. The whole system becomes unresponsive and only a hard reboot helps.

After switching to X11, the system is stable so far, but I sometimes see flickering at the top of the screen.

Relevant log before freeze:

amdgpu: [gfxhub] page fault
Process kwin_wayland
GCVM_L2_PROTECTION_FAULT_STATUS

System info:
• Manjaro
• KDE Plasma
• Kernel: 6.18.7-1 (linux618)
• CPU: Intel i5-14600KF
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT
• RAM: 32 GB DDR5
• Display: AOC C27G1 (VA, DP) + IPS monitor (HDMI)

GPU settings:

• Undervolt -100 mV

Notes:
• Freezes only happen on Wayland
• No freezes on X11
• Temps are fine

Thanks

Relevant logs from journalctl -b -1 -p err

Hi @jansamaj, and welcome!

In order for us, or anyone for that matter, to be able to provide assistance, more information is necessary. To that end, please see:

inxi --filter --verbosity=8 --color=0

Please also note and heed: Forum Rules - Manjaro

Those with privacy concerns: note that when -z, or --filter is used, all personally identifiable information is filtered out from the resulting inxi output. :eyes:

Hope you manage!

:bangbang: Tip for legibility: :bangbang:

To provide terminal output, copy the text you wish to share, and paste it here, surrounded by three (3) backticks, a.k.a grave accents. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:

~~~
pasted text
~~~

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Portaest sed
elementum
cursus nisl nisi
hendrerit ac quis
sit
adipiscing
tortor sit leo commodo.

Instead of like this:

Portaest sed elementum cursus nisl nisi hendrerit ac quis sit adipiscing tortor sit leo commodo.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.

Thereby improving legibility and making it much easier for those trying to be of assistance.

:bangbang::bangbang: Additionally

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

Please edit your post accordingly.

Note that the above text is partially pre-prepared as a general introduction for new forum users. Please take the time to follow links given and learn how to create effective support requests and encourage quality responses.

Please do not cherry-pick “relevant” parts. There are quite possible more information to why something is going on, and we need to find out why something if happening and fix that so that the problem is resolved.

So, do you have a Kernel Panic with blinking LED Num/upper shift/scroll lights on your Keyboard. Or is there another reason why you don’t use MagicSystemHotkeys alias REISUB for a clean restart?

Trying different Kernels is mostly a good option. Today i also had a Plasma Desktop Freeze with Kernel 6.18 related to my Nvidia Driver and Kernel 6.12 at least looks a little bid more stable (besides i have also other problems/Kernel Panic while gaming since this newest stable release update, but that is another story).

I think most people are probably not aware of this option. Running for the reset/power button is the typical Windows ecosystem behavior. :wink:

Yeah probably… or he has just a Kernel Panic, a answer only he can gives.

I know this isnt a fix for what you want to do, but the old adage of “if it aint broke, dont fix it” may apply.
Walyland may be the future, but its still under development. X11 is old but stable. If you want to spend your time chasing bugs, by all means continue on the Wayland path. If you want to use your computer and dont want to deal with bugs just use X11.
