Unpredictable and very sporadic logouts

For a while now I have been experiencing an issue where, so far only under the load of a game, the KDE Plasma session hangs for a few seconds and then just logs me out without any warning or obviously distinguishable cause.

Below I have added the entire minute of journalctl during which this logout (and a subsequent log back in) must have occured.

unpredictable and very sporadic sounds like a memory error - either system RAM or GPU ram.

Them log also point in that direction - with the Xorg server dying…

This makes me wonder. With how rarely it occurs and how horrible I am about closing programs… could this simply be the ram filling up, possibly too fast?

Possibly swap related; low on resources;

Please provide system information as decribed (below).

Regards.


System Information

While information from *-fetch type apps might be fine for someone wishing to buy your computer, for Support purposes it’s better to ask your system directly; :eyes:

Output of the inxi command with appropriate parameters will achieve this (naturally, formatted according to forum guidelines) and will generally be more useful for those wishing to help:

inxi --filter --verbosity=8

or the short form:

inxi -zv8

Naturally, here is the inxi output:

You’re still using Plasma on X11, even though you don’t have an Nvidia card? You might find that your AMD CPU/GPU system runs a lot better if you switch to a Plasma Wayland session.

You can change your Plasma session from X11 to Wayland by selecting the session type at the login screen (Wayland is now KDE’s default for Plasma).

If you have set up autologin to skip the password screen, you can change to a Wayland session by opening System Settings → Colors & Themes → Login Screen (SDDM) → Behavior.

In short: I use programs and scripts in my daily workflow that do not function under wayland.
For instance Wifi Mouse and a script I use to resize windows to 720p and center them on a specific screen(not to mention Kdocker). The former I have not found a suitable replacement for and the latter, as far as I understand, is not and will not be possible under wayland. (though as I type this I am realizing there might be a way to make KZones achieve the same effect at the press of a Stream Deck button)

The more important question I have though is: are you implying that switching to wayland might get rid of this issue?

That is exactly what I am implying. As mentioned earlier in the thread:

Wayland does not use a client-server such as Xorg. Wayland combines the Display Server, the Window Manager and the Compositor into a single display protocol. You can read more about it here:

From a (very) quick scan of your inxi output, I couldn’t spot anything else that stood out as causing your system to crash. Your RAM, free storage & swap seem sufficient. But X11 is an old protocol, and Plasma’s development is now almost entirely focused on Wayland (to the point that kwin_x11 has been split into a separate module from Plasma v6.4.0, so that it can be entirely removed from a Plasma installation if a user or distro chooses to do so).

I think the KDEConnect phone app & repo package will do a similar job for you:

https://userbase.kde.org/KDEConnect#Virtual_Input

Virtual Input

“Use your phone as a touchpad and keyboard.”

With this enabled, by going to your phone app and selecting Remote input, a touch screen will immediately be available for you to control your computer mouse, similarly to a touchpad. One touch equals one click.

The keyboard icon in the upper right allows you to type on your phone and see the result on your computer too.

If you press the hamburger menu right by its side, you’ll be able to send right and middle clicks.

I’m sure that can be done using Plasma’s Window Rules:

System Settings → Window Management → Window Rules

Thank you very much for such an extensive response. I was actually switching to wayland probably while you were still typing :smiley: and so far can only find one more issue. Especially since the issue this thread was made for is very very rare but annoying.

I have actually been using KDEConnect for quite a while with my Steamdecks so I feel a right idiot for not thinking of that myself.
And as far as the script goes, yeah that is quite obviously possible. Guess I just resist change quite heavily.

One thing that might go beyond the bounds of this original thread but is there any chance you could tell me about a way to replace kdocker? As of right now that is the only program I do not know how to replace and the solutions I have been able to find just do not function at all.

EDIT:
I just realized that under wayland the package manager gui no longer launches. Is there an obvious step to fix this that I have missed?

I can’t advise, but someone else here might be able to able to suggest an alternative that works on Wayland.

You may have pamac-gtk, which uses the Gnome-specific Adwaita libraries, installed. Try replacing it with pamac-gtk3:

pamac install pamac-gtk3

or

sudo pacman -Syu pamac-gtk3

I have already tried this while attempting to google a solution with no luck.
Also pamac-manager does not even throw any errors, it just… does nothing.

EDIT:
Oh my god I am an actual idiot!
The reason it would not launch again was because it was already goddamn open! I just ignored it since it was in a place on my taskbar that usually houses Dolphin so I did not even look …

I have found a solution that works perfectly for my needs so for future reference: kwin-minimize2tray

I have just encountered this again (twice) under wayland.
I did see a notification that xwayland had crashed, but I could not determine anything further myself.

According to a quick AI summary, somewhere in the minute of journalctl below, amdgpu reported “Illegal opcode in command stream” which ultimately caused the crash and therefore would be a driver issue. Is this valid? and if so, do I have any recourse beyond hoping an update fixes it some time?

What you have is a chain of events ending with a dysfunctional session and - possibly some kind of damage control - the system sees no other way than to reboot userspace; in some aspects it can be compared to the user issuing a systemctl soft-reboot.

kernel: amdgpu 0000:2d:00.0: amdgpu: Process information: process LOP-Win64-Shipp pid 615968 thread vkd3d_queue pid 616219
amdgpu 0000:2d:00.0: amdgpu: MES failed to respond to msg=RESET
kernel: [drm] VRAM is lost due to GPU reset!

I only have guesses based on what I see in your log - just like you - I have no idea what causes it.

I am fairly certain an application is causing this - given the right circumstances - have you tried to isolate which application is causing this ?

I know - you need to communicate with your team.

Have you tried not running Discord while gaming ?

Have you tried not running twitch to stream while gaming ?

Have you tried the latest Linux 6.16 on unstable branch ?

What I can tell you for certain is that this has only ever happened with:
Assassin’s Creed
Assassin’s Creed II
Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood
Assassin’s Creed: Revelations
and finally Lies of P (LOP-Win64-Shipp)

Until the last one, I assumed this must be something specific to the Engine used for the AC games or an issue in Proton or something along those lines.
What drives me nuts is that it has happened twice in the span of 30 hours and then twice in the 31st. There is nothing predictable about when it does either.

I run plenty of other games and programs and nothing ever causes this issue beside these games (or possibly others I have yet to discover).
It also does not make a difference if all or no other programs are running.
Streaming also does not matter as long as it is not one of these games.

Even given a decades long experience with computers - I know that there is a lot, a huge pile of lots of things I don’t know.

This is just an idea - please accept it as that.

I have no experience with the kernel and drivers - so this is just a shot in dark and I have no idea if this has any relation - at all - before yesterday I haven’t even heard about split_lock.
