It is looking like the new Mesa update is causing problems mostly with nVidia systems…refer to:
So far there have been reports with nVidia systems (including hybrid systems) & Tigerlake Intel being affected. I would recommend upgrading with caution. So far, Gnome & KDE have been affected.
Asking everyone to post:
lspci | grep 'VGA'
or
inxi -G
Or both. Thank You!
To cite: nvidia should
give two f’s about mesa?
This all seems so far like a limited, circular posting of Arch and EOS forum links without anybody providing actual logs or hardware specs?
That is why I’ve asked people to post specs…we need more information. I was the cross-poster to get the information out there.
Mesa warning to All users is a strong statement though.
If you say in the crosspost that TigerLake and hybrid systems are affected too, it would be cool to have a link to those reports.
Yes…it’s a bit strong, but in view of what has been seen so far…I believe warranted…I’ll reword it a bit. I referred to hybrid & Tigerlake in the Arch forums posting… I’ll provide more info at the top post here.
I say what I say since years: Throw away the leatherjacket garbage, go red.
I thought this mesa issue was Gnome-specific?
Not as far as I’ve found…there is 1 KDE report…we need more info…

Old version. Version that may cause problems is mesa 1:25.1.1-1
I knew we got off too easy with the last MESA update. I had braced for disaster and all went fine.
