Hi all, Lately I see that the mouse cursor and the keyboard freeze for 20-30 seconds after which operation is back to normal. Sometimes however this is just for a second and then it freezes again, most of the times it stays operational. I looked in the journal and found this around the time it happened: ```auto Mar 01 21:49:55 Aurora flatpak[4331]: [0301/214955.053132:ERROR:scoped_ptrace_attach.cc(27)] ptrace: Operation not permitted (1) Mar 01 21:49:55 Aurora flatpak[4342]: [17145:14399:0301/214955.076620:ERROR:command_buffer_proxy_impl.cc(325)] GPU state invalid after WaitForGetOffsetInRange.

I see in the error lines that it has something to do with flatpaks. I do have several of them and all from Flathub. I don’t use containers and have installed nothing using rpm-ostree: ```auto rpm-ostree status State: idle AutomaticUpdates: stage; rpm-ostreed-automatic.timer: last run 15h ago Deployments: ● ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/aurora-dx-nvidia-open:stable Digest: sha256:51bd277a8fedce7ea28813f75823a49c678f39fa68764f74be9e50980086ddc2 Version: 41.20250224.6 (2025-02-24T16:04:22Z) ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/aurora-dx-nvidia-open:stable Digest: sha256:39095a4ba1f0e02351d5fd60657e1992684f0e37bd9cae36f6624af4df16d0d4 Version: 41.20250223.1 (2025-02-23T06:07:05Z) ``` Thanks. ---

The freezing is probably not an issue with the Flatpaks but more of a problem with the NVIDIA drivers. What graphics card do you have? ---

Hi @ledif, Well, I was thinking the same thing cause even with the Nvidia card being used the CPU usage was pretty high when watching a Youtube video. I did a rebase to Aurora-stable (without the Nvidia driver for my RTX3060 card) and I am now using the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H and its Radeon Graphics. Watching Youtube now only uses around 4-5% of the CPU, keeping the fans still. (not unimportant) I saw some threads about people having problem with Nvidia so that made me decide to do the rebase from “aurora-dx-nvidia-open:stable” to “Aurora:stable”. The reasons I started with the Nvidia version of Aurora was in fact 2 things: I had bought a laptop with the card, paid money for it and wanted to use it, and the second being when I was using Fedora Kinoite, previous to Aurora, without having installed the RPM Fusion Nvidia driver I got crashes. With the driver being used it was rock stable. Now it’s the other way around. I just continue this way for a while to see if it is rock stable and when the commotion about Nvidia has passed I can always go back to using it. Thanks for your answer. ---

Yesterday I did a rebase again from aurora-dx-nvidia:stable to aurora:stable and this morning the mouse frooze again for a couple of seconds. This never happens when I have the nvidia version of aurora. But watching Youtube with installed Nvidia drivers is watching a slide-show especially when the camera pans left-right: the whole picture stutters. This I don’t see now although I am not quite sure which graphic driver(s) I am using now. Strange thing is the stuttering only happens on Youtube. When I download the same video and watch it in one of the installed video-players the picture is good. I copied a large chunk of lines from `journalctl -b` and stored it in a text file. If the freezing happens again I will do it again and compare the 2 blocks of error messages to see if I see the same messages. ---

If you have a nvdia card you should use the nvidia image. But depending on you nvidia card you can either use the `nvidia` or `nvidia-open` images ---

Hi, yes I did use the Nvidia version because I have the card but Youtube videos are choppy. That’s why I rebased to aurora:stable to use the AMD GPU. Youtube is normal now, but the USB mouse and keyboard sometimes hang for a while after which normal operation comes back. I’m back to aurora-nvidia:stable at the moment with the choppy videos but with a working mouse. It’s either this or the other way around. Is nobody else seeing choppy videos when watching Youtube? When I search the internet for it I get a ton of answers so I am not the only one. And it is only when using an Nvidia card with driver.
