One Quick Freeze

Da_Official_Rolex · November 8, 2020, 7:28am

Hello I am experiencing a freezing issue it doesn’t last long and from what I have experienced so far it seems to be a only at the beginning of my session. I am using KDE and I just moved from manjaro and was distro hopping before I ended up here. Please give me any suggestions that might help me out here.

Welcome @Da_Official_Rolex to EndeavourOS :pensive

Could you give the out from this command to see your partition schema ?

lsblk

sosiristseng · November 8, 2020, 10:03am

Maybe it’s lsblk ?

Welcome @Da_Official_Rolex to EndeavourOS

FLVAL · November 8, 2020, 11:38am

Yep it’s a typo wrotte it from the phone…
I made the correction up, thanks.

Welcome @Da_Official_Rolex!

Da_Official_Rolex · November 8, 2020, 6:15pm

Sorry for the late reply. The sda disk is a external drive. That keeps a snapshot of the system I am using. I didn’t use a swap, because I remember reading that swap are only needed if you are constantly using all of your RAM and read that even those cases you are better off just buying RAM than using swap. Thank you for the welcome and I appreciate the help you are offering!

If this is a fresh install, it’s probably baloo acting up. This is a fairly common problem with fresh KDE installs. If you don’t need file indexing, you can disable it, by running

balooctl disable

Reboot, and see if there are any freezes.

Da_Official_Rolex · November 8, 2020, 8:01pm

I did try this unfortunately that doesn’t seem to have fixed that issue for me. Thank you for the suggestion nevertheless

Kresimir · November 8, 2020, 8:04pm

Another thing worth trying is an LTS kernel.

Da_Official_Rolex · November 8, 2020, 8:16pm

I would switch to a LTS Kernel as a last resort. I read somewhere else on these forums that the fresh install of KDE is causing issues. I may just try reinstalling it via cli and rebooting to see if that fixes my issue.

BONK · November 8, 2020, 8:24pm

First resort

Da_Official_Rolex · November 8, 2020, 8:27pm

Well the KDE reinstall definitely wasn’t the solution. Would you mind giving me the command to switch the LTS kernel?

BONK · November 8, 2020, 8:31pm

sudo pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers
Then:
systemctl reboot
Pick the LTS kernel from grub.

Da_Official_Rolex · November 8, 2020, 8:39pm

That doesn’t seem to be the issue either. Though it seems the freeze doesn’t freeze the entire system like it did on the 5.9 kernel. Should I post the logs for my system to see if that may offer better insight?

BONK · November 8, 2020, 8:40pm

Here are all the relevant logs from my system. If you want me to post the direct pastbin links let me know.

nope you are well on your way

@Da_Official_Rolex
I am wondering if you have any issues with sound devices? Did you install sof-firmware? I am taking a guess here that the audio chip is missing the firmware?

Da_Official_Rolex · November 8, 2020, 10:32pm

Honestly don’t know what I was thinking when I said if you think that has anything to do with my freezing issue. I installed sof-firmware since it wasn’t installed and it seems to have not change anything for my sound setup. I am using schiit modi 3 dac and schiit magni heresy amp just so you know.
