Lenovo X1 Carbon 10Gen after new installation, system is slow and some apps crashes

jmanuelrosa · October 17, 2022, 6:11pm

For this, i need to use the xf86-video-intel package no?

jmanuelrosa · October 17, 2022, 6:18pm

i915.enable_psr=0 as kernel boot option for the driver will disable some power saving option that can cause issues with iris hardware… see here for other possible options:
https://discovery.endeavouros.com/intel-gpu/intel/2021/03/

I just tried this, and still happens when I do scroll

jmanuelrosa · October 17, 2022, 6:19pm

I tried with a fresh instalation with the latest kernel (6.0.2) and removing the xf86-video-intel , and this still happens: https://photos.app.goo.gl/yxmEQ39PcXvJidu76 See what happens when I do scroll, are you using the latest LTS?

jmanuelrosa · October 19, 2022, 9:13pm

I just tried the i915.enable_psr=0 in the kernel, and update picom to use the backend glx, and the same happens :‘( Sincerelly, I’m exhausted to look for different options or solutions and read in different forums :’(

joekamprad · October 19, 2022, 9:16pm

no the in kernel mode setting driver uses this option too. but like always do not test to many things at the same time

jmanuelrosa · October 19, 2022, 9:40pm

Yes, I tried the picom config before, and nothing.Then I added the i915.enable_psr=0 to grub using the steps here https://discovery.endeavouros.com/intel-gpu/intel/2021/03/, and nothing

joekamprad · October 19, 2022, 9:42pm

there is also this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_graphics#AccelMethod

where it says “uxa” mode can help

jmanuelrosa · October 19, 2022, 9:57pm

If I set the AccelMethod to uxa the screen doesn`twork, after load finish like a black screen and I can’t do nothing

ricklinux · October 20, 2022, 1:41am

@jmanuelrosa
Have you tried the following kernel parameters. Try each by themselves one at a time. Se if any difference.

intel_idle.max_cstate=1
i915.enable_dc=0

joekamprad · October 20, 2022, 6:59am

could we see a boot log?

journalctl -b -0 | eos-sendlog
or from eos-log tool…

2022-10-20_09-01

jmanuelrosa · October 20, 2022, 9:16am

I just tried both, each by themselves one at a time, and nothing, the problem with the scroll persists (I removed the xf86 driver before). I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong:

I edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg file adding the parameter at the end of the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
run sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
and reboot the system

is it ok?

jmanuelrosa · October 20, 2022, 9:18am

The boot log: https://0x0.st/ow7T.txt bt the problem is not in the boot, is with the scroll in some apps, for example, in VSCode, Chrome, etc but not in Firefox

joekamprad · October 20, 2022, 10:25am

yea but… while booting graphics driver are loaded and settings will get sorted

I just try out disable vsync on my ancient intel ThinkPad and this vertical tearing in watching videos is gone…

Do you try that ?

and indeed as i was thinking there is a “crash” trace on your GPU and driver:

jmanuelrosa · October 20, 2022, 11:07am

If I’m not wrong, for this configuration I need to install xf86-video-intel right?

joekamprad · October 20, 2022, 11:12am

there are two drivers one is inside kernel tree the other came with this package both providing drivers only differently…

jmanuelrosa · October 20, 2022, 11:23am

I just tried with the xf86-video-intel package installed and removed, and in both cases, chrome doesn’t work, not responding

joekamprad · October 20, 2022, 11:26am

having vsync disabled? and using exactly what options on kernel boot line?
It is indeed a bit tricky if you are not used to tinker with such things…

But it is needed to test one thing at a time and if it is not working remove that again before going to start the next …

joekamprad · October 20, 2022, 11:32am

do you actually tried lts or not?

I would recommend in general to have LTS kernel installed aside from main one to try it if issues happen… in a lot of cases it is simply some kernel regression stuff happening and it will get solved with one or the other kernel package update…

jmanuelrosa · October 20, 2022, 12:43pm

Yes, when i try something, and doesn’t work, I rollback all changes and start from 0

jmanuelrosa · October 20, 2022, 5:50pm

I just try with Linux Kernel LTS 5.

~/.drirc

<device screen="0" driver="dri2">
	<application name="Default">
		<option name="vblank_mode" value="0"/>
	</application>
</device>

and it’s working !

With latest linux kernel works veeery slog and laggy but with LTS is working well (a little tearing but I can assume it)
