Frozen Screen/System lockup with KDE Plasma (Wayland) with Kernel 6.12.1

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware
1

Hello!

Last night I had the problem that the display on one of my two screens froze in the middle of use (I was doing something on the desktop). However, I was able to move the mouse briefly on the other one and then it also froze. I was using kernel 6.12.1-arch1-1 at the time.

After the Lockup (Nov 25 18:36) I switched to the LTS kernel and was able to use the system normally again.

Output with inxi -Fxxc0z LTS kernel 6.6.63:

The question now is whether it is really the kernel, KDE Plasma or Wayland itself? Or is it something else?

Edit 1: Never had a Problem like this before with EndeavourOS.

I had no more freezes/lockups. It was really the kernel. I learned something again. :slight_smile:

3

Great that the problem got resolved

How did you find out it was the kernel?

Hello @SemLraug!

Unfortunately, I can only give you an answer that is certainly not correct.

Since I switched to the LTS kernel, the system no longer froze, whether I was playing games, using Firefox or doing things in programs or on the desktop. Unfortunately, the freezing happened at random and I couldn’t provoke it with anything special.

It happened right after installing the new kernel 6.12.1 and disappeared after using the LTS kernel. Before that with 6.11.x there was no such problem.

I’m sorry I can’t explain this better.

No problem - just curious.

I did try to find some other reports about this and found [1] where people suggested downgrading the kernel, but also suggested using amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x12.

For me as a rather inexperienced user, switching to the LTS kernel was easy as I have both kernels installed anyway. It was just the easiest way for me.
