I’m using fully up-to-date endeavouros in my notebook (samsung galaxy book2, a 11th gen i5) and applications that use my bluetooth + webcam seem to be crashing. I’m sure this problem didn’t exist about a month ago, when I had my last 2025 meetings.
Today I opened zoom app to join a meeting and helf second after the webcam led turned on the error happened: Gnome crashed, gone back to login screen (gdm), I heard the bluetooth connection being established again, and on login none of my previous desktop windows were still running.
Then I moved on to google meets browser-based meeting, but the same thing happened, gnome logout, bluetooth reconnected, all the same on chrome and firefox browsers.
I was able to deny camera access and after that the meeting occurred with no problem, bluetooth working for audio and mic (an anker p30 headset).
Also if I run cheese app the webcam works fine. Using both seems to be the pain point.
Tested both kernels, lts (6.12?) and current (6.18), same behavior.
If I connect a p3 headset, webcam + sound works fine.
Anyone else facing this issue recently? I’m using endeavouros in this notebook for about 10 months, everything seems to be running smoothly excepts for this.
