Mesa 23.1.0-1 is causing issues for amd-gpu?

radeon also.
Its official a BUG now i think…

Running Arch on a Gen 4 Thinkpad E15, reporting no issues on my end:

using amdgpu driver – looks like not effected in anyway

Not sure what is going on (and perhaps not equipped to find out anymore!) - but I got video blackouts on youtube etc on either Brave or Firefox that turned into machine total lockout. Even REISUB couldn’t free it up. Here’s my drivers:

As mentioned, not currently able to troubleshoot enough, so I took the lazy way out and ran eos-shifttime to back up a day or two while someone else sorts it… a few days with no update shouldn’t hurt :grin:

Think of it as a reminder that trouble avoidance is ALSO within the Arch family DNA!

Which card do you have? Mine is the RX 590 and I’m not having any issues.

I have the 580 on this box. Haven’t checked the other box yet (it has built-in video). I guess I should…

RX6600 here and no issues.

OK - checked my other box (on a couple of builds) and no problem seen here. Here’s inxi -G

Just waiting patiently (a couple of days, anyway)…

A couple days of updates won’t hurt, I usually go a week, but it is an easy fix. Use another tty, update your system, then downgrade the mesa and lib32-mesa packages back to 23.0.3-1.

sudo downgrade mesa lib32-mesa

See OP.

Looks like version 23.1.1-1 fixed the problem.

counting one user validating next please :wink:

Interesting, 23.1.1-1 isn’t showing up in my repositories yet. Perhaps just a matter of waiting for mine to catch up I suppose.

it is only in testing as of now:

I installed it manually and it works.

Did you only update mesa, or lib32-mesa also? I did both and wasn’t sure if it was just the mesa package.

There is no lib32-mesa on my system.

Updated today to mesa 23.1.1

Everything is working fine :+1:

Same here. Had no problems before either

I had this issue today, with the same picture (vertical bands) on Acer laptop E5-552 which has AMDGPU R5-335 in it. However this solved it for me, from the Archwiki:
