For the last week I’ve been having a lot of GNOME crashes. And they’re probably caused by buggy AMD drivers in the kernel.
Here’s a related issue in Bazzite config GitHub repo.
uname -srm reports Linux 6.9.12-205.fsync.fc40.x86_64 x86_64
Some possibly related issues:
So, what do we do with all of this? Having such an unstable desktop is unreliable & unreasonable.
The solution is the same thing I do / did when Nvidia had problems with the 560 driver for me. Jump to a specific date and pin it until the issues resolve.
I looked at every issue you listed. Many of them are KDE so this is not a Gnome issue. Looks to be AMD related, mesa and or firmware. And possibly related to improper clocks for gpu.
Maybe try something that sets gpu clocks and test from there.
Meaning rolling back to a certain OSTree image?
I kind of have a lot of layers I rely on daily. Can this be done without removing those?
And what rpm-ostree command should I call in general to switch to a more stable image?
I’m completely clueless about what to do. What can you recommend?
I’m on an all AMD system (5600g and 6700XT). I haven’t seen any odd behavior on stock Bluefin-DX (stable).
You can use ujust , ujust switch-channel, and then pick a date.
What have you got layered, this may also be part of what’s going on.
To clarify this: Bazzite doesn’t use ujust switch-channel but the bazzite-rollback-helper command will do the same thing.
You could try using LACT. It can be installed with the ujust command.
LACT comes pre-installed with Bazzite, but it fails to save configs, probably due to permissions.
Filed an issue report @ freedesktop gitlab
Tried running my laptop without an external display. No crashes today.
