System Hard Freezing

oe36 · 20 March 2026 18:38

Manjaro has been hard freezing for me about once a day for some time now. I don’t believe this is necessarily a Manjaro issue per se, but rather a Kernel / Mesa issue. Here are some details about my system…

In this capture you’ll see I’m booted into kernel 6.1 as anything newer has the problem much worse.

This is likely related to this thread here…

https://forum.manjaro.org/t/system-freeze-amdgpu-flip-done-timed-out-after-switch-to-kernel-6-12/176608

Only thing that works when it freezes is holding the power button for 10 seconds to kill the machine.

If anyone knows a solution to this other than just waiting for the bugfix/patch, I’m all ears. I will be continuing scouring documentation and other solutions.

Thank you

I’d suggest using REISUB rather than the power button. Two advantages: less chance of data corruption and also it’s possible the journal might get written to before the computer restarts, so you may find some useful diagnostics there (though this isn’t 100% certain, I believe).

Your inxi output is incomplete; please correct that:

[Mini-HowTo] Provide System Information

Basic details provided by *-fetch type apps might give enough information for someone wishing to buy a computer, however, for Support purposes it’s best to ask your system directly.

Output of the inxi command will generate more useful and detailed information for those who may wish to help:

Suggested inxi command (use either):


`inxi -zv8`	(short-form)
`inxi --filter --verbosity=8`	(long-form)

man inxi (The inxi manual)

Command output should be presented as pre-formatted text in accordance with forum guidelines.

Running inxi within a chroot environment

Add --color=0 to the long-form command, or…
Change the short-form command to inxi -zv8c0

Your privacy is respected

Can you also describe the conditions when these freezes occur? For example, is the machine under heavy load; Which application(s) are you running when the crash occurs; anything else that might possibly be worth mentioning?

If that’s the case, then you will have already seen here that there is a possible fix brewing in mailing list threads, which you could follow.

You might consider checking your UEFI/BIOS settings – improper configuration can potentially contribute to a crash; as can running low on swap space; perhaps check and re-seat your RAM modules and dGPU – but, if you have already ruled out the usual culprits, and you’re still convinced of the issue being the same as the topic you linked to, there may be little to be achieved here.

REISUB/REISUO links per suggestion by @beermad for safer shutdown:

Teo · 20 March 2026 19:16

Do i see Plasma 6.5? Have you updated your system?

Aragorn · 20 March 2026 19:18

Plasma 6.5.5 is what we have in the Stable branch at the moment.

Teo · 20 March 2026 20:10

Sorry, i thought it was 6.6.

Aragorn · 20 March 2026 20:11

No, that’s still in the Unstable branch only right now.

The freezes happen mostly when watching a Youtube video either in Firefox, Brave, or FreeTube.

I also have run the machine over night without any applications running (other than the KDE Plasma desktop environment, but no applications) and have found the machine frozen when I use it in the morning.

Holy cow! Thank you for the REISUB procedure. I continue to be amazed by 2 things…

Linux (try gracefully rebooting a blue screened Windows machine [which i no longer use BTW])
You people!!! (the knowledge and willingness to help is absolutely humbling)

It took me a little bit to figure it out, but now I almost can’t wait for the next freeze!

Thank you to all who replied!!! You folks are just the best.

Just a suggestion: it might be an idea to set up swap as that may alleviate future issues.

Once the system runs out of RAM and has no-where else to store it, it has to dump stuff. This can lead to the system locking up, depending on what processes are affected.

One example of setting up swap:

… although, personally, I prefer to set up a swap partition.

weingeist · 21 March 2026 18:14

Why are you using such an old kernel?

soundofthunder · 21 March 2026 18:18

You may have missed this:

Though, from a troubleshooting perspective, it does make better sense to be on the latest LTS kernel, where possible.

Molski · 21 March 2026 18:41

I missed the most obvious thing too. But I had all this typed!

So if the problem still exists after you move to a supported kernel..

The most useful information is the logs leading up to the freeze. That makes this much easier to track down, since you can filter logs by each boot.

To see your boot IDs, type:

journalctl --list-boots

Boot ID 0 is your current session, still logging entries until you shutdown (or it freezes). If it froze the last time you started your computer, then the boot ID would be -1.

If you remember roughly when it froze, you can find the corresponding boot ID. The --list-boots output shows when each boot started and when the last log entry occurred, so it should be fairly easy to identify.

Once you find that boot ID, use it in the following command (using -1 as an example):

journalctl --boot=-1
# or journalctl -b -1

That will show logs starting from boot. To find where it froze, it’s easier to view them in reverse.

So once you’ve identified where it froze, use something like this (we may as well include more detail by allowing up to INFO level entries):

Also, when copy/pasting (or piping) from journalctl, make sure to use the --no-pager option. (When viewing logs, omit it.)

journalctl --boot=-1 --reverse --priority 6 --no-pager
# journalctl -b -1 -r -p6 --no-pager

Find where the freeze occurs, then paste the logs leading up to it. They’re timestamped, so include everything around that time and post it here.

I was able to boot into a live USB, resize my root partition to make room for a swap partition. I did a 48GB swap since I have 64GB RAM and I don’t hibernate this machine.

Here is the result of “free -h”

               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            62Gi       3.3Gi        57Gi       113Mi       1.9Gi        59Gi
Swap:           47Mi          0B        47Mi

I will resume running the latest Kernel (6.19 or 6.18 LTS) and see if any improvements.

Also, thank you to Molski for the instructions on reviewing logs. I will do that if it freezes again (after doing the REISUB procedure to gracefully shutdown a frozen system). Dang! I love learning.

Thank you to all. Will keep you posted.

Molski · 21 March 2026 19:34

This is a 47MB swap.

oe36 · 21 March 2026 19:44

Stickler for detail! I like it.

Molski · 21 March 2026 20:11

I’m not sure if we’re on the same page or not.

You have a 0.047GB swap.

jofi · 21 March 2026 20:19

Normal recommendation would be something in between. I think 4 or 8 GB should be fine without hibernation.

soundofthunder · 21 March 2026 20:22

@oe36

Your defined swap space is so ridiculously small that it serves no purpose whatsoever – it is only 47 MiB – you might think it’s sized in the GigaByte range, but it is not, as your own system shows above.

It is virtually without much doubt that this fact contributes toward your system crashing, especially, if you have it set to sleep/hibernate; Hibernation requires sufficient swap space to hold whatever data is in RAM. To avoid this, you might need to choose another :Suspend To RAM (STR) sleep state, rather than hibernation. Even with 64 GiB of RAM, a functional amount of swap space – whether it be a swap partition or a swap file – is still generally recommended.

47 MiB would be barely enough to hold my favourite ebooks.

Superhero3230 · 21 March 2026 20:42

I used to have a similar problem with my setup, I had swap set to 6 GB as is recommended for my 32 GB of ram in my system without hibernation as I never use it.
The problem was that every time my system went to sleep it was a coin flip if it would freeze or sleep as anyone would expect. The solution was to allocate 38 GB for swap even if I don’t use hibernation.
I’m telling this because if your problem is the same as mine 48 GB of swap might not be enough for your 64 GB of ram.

soundofthunder · 21 March 2026 20:49

And 47 MiB certainly isn’t.

Informational

For hibernation, the recommendation is to have a swap partition (preferred) sized at least equal to system RAM – for 64 GiB RAM, 65 GiB of swap would be ideal.

Without hibernation, less space needs to be reserved for swap, however, the general recommendation is half of the above but can be adjusted according to individual needs.

Hibernation and swap allocation can be defined via Calamares during Manjaro installation, though many new(er) users seem to have difficulty understanding the option, and ignore it, which can often lead to inconveniences later.
