I3 Randomly Crashing

General system Newbie
1

After installing i3, I installed a couple packages like discord, spotify, etc. but sometimes my os just randomly freezes up and I have to forcefully power off and reboot. I tried to follow steps under the i3 debugging page to generate a backtrace so I could figure out what was the issue although when running

file $(which i3)

The output is

/usr/bin/i3: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=48a0ab58083cfd7729b4d381bbf91785831a6553, for GNU/Linux 4.4.0, stripped

where the wiki says being stripped is not a good thing and I wasn’t able to figure out how to turn it off.
I also attempted to run

gdb $(which i3) core.i3.3849
backtrace full

but it just ends up outputting as No stack.
if someone could help me figure out how to backtrace and figure out the issue that would be greatly appreciated.

See if the following would help:

Thanks so much for the help! Unfortunately, I couldn’t find my issue there as I just crashed but after checking coredumpctl on reboot, I couldn’t find any new entries. That was after I went ahead and removed some packages that I had seen on there as well.
It’s really weird because I’m still able to move my mouse around but every window and my keyboard seem to be frozen.
Thanks for the help anyways though :slight_smile:

i3 is usually very robust i do not remember an freeze or crash over years.
Only issues i had was about compositor and in cases GPU and driver or all together…

But if you mind you could give some info about your hardware and a boot log (logs ! )

Sure no problem
If this helps, here are journalctl logs of right before I froze and I had to force shutdown

Thank you for trying to help!

i do not see much in the boot log only that it is may one after a freeze?

7

Sorry I’m not entirely sure what you mean by May 1 after a freeze as I’m assuming you mean the date but I don’t see where it states that. Sorry I’m altogether pretty new to arch as a whole.

8

maybe i mean :wink: maybe the boot log is from after a freeze … because it shows filesystem-checks

9

Oh I see my bad my bad. So if there’s not really much helpful information off of the boot logs, how else should I go about debugging the issue?

10

I don’t know if this helps but I left my computer running for about 4 hours and when I came back the computer had frozen and these were the journalctl logs from then.

Funny enough, the whole rkit-dameon[817]: The canary thread is apparently starving. Taking action
had outputed more than 1000 lines in the journalctl log (including the succesfully demoted…)
I looked online for solutions but I couldn’t really find any.

Edit: I should also mention that this output is in reverse

11

Looks like the rtkit realtimekit daemon is going nuts so it could be something related to audio system… pipewire/pulse

12

That does make sense as I believe every time it’s frozen I’ve been listening to music. Should I reinstall the packages?

13

do you use wireplumber and pipewire?

somehow some pulseaudio stuff installed?

Edit: I use pulseaudio in my polybar but I can switch to ALSA if that’s what’s causing the issue

Welp even after uninstalling rtkit I still get crashes although I’m pretty sure the issue is from this:

Oct 05 17:24:48 stephen-laptop playerctld[901]: could not get properties for active player: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: No such interface “org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Playlists”

Although I can’t find any information online as to what is causing this. It’s repeated multiple times through jorunalctl. Might have something to do with Spotify.

18

the problem i see is that both are running:

  Sound Server-2: PulseAudio v: 16.1 running: yes
  Sound Server-3: PipeWire v: 0.3.58 running: yes

pulseaudio should not run when pipewire is running.

19

systemctl --user status pipewire
shows any hints?

and
systemctl --user status pulseaudio

Your installed packages are looking fine to me…

You can always try resetting pulse and pipewire setup by removing the configs in users home:

rm -R ~/.local/state/wireplumber
rm -R ~/.config/pulse

and restart session sudo systemctl restart lightdm
now recheck status:
inxi -Aa

should show like this:

  Sound Server-1: ALSA v: k6.0.0-AMD running: yes
  Sound Server-2: PulseAudio v: 16.1 running: no
  Sound Server-3: PipeWire v: 0.3.58 running: yes

If pulseaudio is still running try disable it:
systemctl --user disable pulseaudio
and restart session sudo systemctl restart lightdm
now recheck status:
inxi -Aa

20

Hmmm I still got a freeze after doing the steps.
journalctl logs right before a freeze:
