Edit: I'm fairly certain @exupulosion@sh.itjust.works got it right when linking it to this unresolved issue.


The title pretty much sums it up. The freezes can happen while I am not doing anything, and while no additional software is running. I don't really know where to start with this one.

Here's journalctl -b -1 -e from the latest crash, as I found online that this could be useful:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The laptop is rather new, but with the AMD Ryzen™ 5 7640U w/ Radeon™ 760M Graphics × 12 processor from the previous generation.

unfixable, by the way. but you may try X11

[–] cabbage@piefed.social 3 points 6 days ago

Ah shit. This is it.

Just my luck that GNOME 49 just dropped support for X11. I guess if it's unbearable I can downgrade.

At least now I know what to watch. Thank you!

Whoa, looks like your home directory or user got orphaned somehow during the upgrade.

  1. Open a console terminal (ALT+CTRL+F3) and try to login there (it may throw errors)
  2. Run who and see what the output is
  3. Run sudo su -u, enter your password, then ls -lh /home

What's the output?

[–] cabbage@piefed.social 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

who:

user  seat0  2025-10-29 16:47  
user  tty3   2025-10-29 16:47  
user  seat0  2025-10-29 16:34  
user  tty2   2025-10-29 16:34  

ls - lh /home:

totalt 0  
drwx-------. 1 user user 794 okt.    29 14:55 user  

This was done before the computer had frozen, I'm not sure if that spoils it.

Check if systemd has any clues:

  1. journalctl -b > systemd-logs.txt
  2. grep -C3 -i "error\|fail|warn\|fatal\|can't\|cannot" systemd-logs.txt

I will run this next time it crashes (if it happens again) - after freezing several times in a row earlier it has been steady the last couple of hours, so the last crash is outside of the period of the log that I see now.

Thanks!

[–] unprovenbreeze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I would try first to boot with the last kernel you were using before the upgrade.

[–] cabbage@piefed.social 3 points 6 days ago

Thanks! I didn't even realize this was an option - very useful to know! Will check it out if the crashes keep up. :)

@cabbage Might not be related, but I was triggered by your "flip_done timed out"... See:
https://community.frame.work/t/responded-linux-recent-update-is-causing-some-sort-of-stalling-freezing-in-pop-os/48537/18?u=florisnielssen

- Which window manager are you using?
- What typically 'fixed' it for me was switching to terminal ([CTRL]+[ALT]+[F3]) and afterwards switching back to the GUI again ([CTRL]+[ALT]+[F2]). It took a minute, but allowed me to resume my work.

I had issues on Pop_OS in combination with Wayland.

[–] cabbage@piefed.social 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That sounds familiar - I will look into this if the crashes return (it has been stable for a couple of hours now). Going wild with screen brightness and night light does not seem to trigger anything.

I'm on Wayland and pretty vanilla Fedora with GNOME.

[–] quin_antarctic@social.tchncs.de 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

@cabbage For me, it also depended if I was working with a 2nd screen attached or only my laptop.
With only the laptop it happened more often.
The 2nd screen never froze, but sometimes the laptop screen would with the 2nd screen still working fine.

[–] cabbage@piefed.social 1 points 6 days ago

I had problems while an external monitor was connected on Fedora 42, but as I don't use it often I figured I could live with it. Now it seemed to have gotten worse. Once the second monitor was working but GNOME was acting weird. So yes, that absolutely does seem related.
