System freezing after opening EneavourOS tools

Hi,

My first post here, but not a newbie to using Linux. Been triple-booting EndeavourOS along with Ubuntu 24.04 and Windows 10 for some time without any issues, but recently have started to experience hard freezes shortly after opening any EndeavourOS application, such as Welcome or apps.info. This started around 6-8 weeks ago, after an update to the Welcome app I believe, and everything was running OK prior to this.

The applications starts up OK and responds initially for maybe 30-60 secs, but then everything locks and I have to forcibly power off. There is no indication of any problem on screen, and I have tried starting the apps from the CLI, but no errors are shown. I also uninstalled and re-installed the Welcome app to no avail.

I haven’t investigated this further as it only seems to be a problem when using the EndeavourOS apps, nothing else seems to cause a problem so I am writing this from Firefox running on EndeavourOS, and I am not experiencing any issues when using Ubuntu or Windows. But if anyone has a suggestion on how I can resolve this, it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum!

  • Which DE are you using?
  • Are you using wayland?

Hi Manuel, my apologies for not including this.

I am using Gnome DE and yes, running on wayland. Must admit I haven’t tried switching to X as haven’t used it for a long while now and as I said, this issue doesn’t seem to be affecting anything else.

Do the apps work when using X11 session?

We know wayland has had some issues with yad which is used by a few EndeavourOS apps.
