Amdgpu driver crash

Ask Fedora

Hello!
I am getting this error:

Initially, programs become unresponsive, followed by the mouse pointer freezing, which results in the entire system freezing. After a few seconds, the screen turns off. Occasionally, the system recovers on its own, or a forced shutdown becomes necessary. This issue also occurs on the lock screen and the login screen.
Thank you!
Ps: Fedora 42 normal Kde spin, but the same error on 41 to.

Update your system/kernel to see if the problem persists.

Thank you for the reply, but the error exists since 41 and is not fixed by an updated.

Can confirm I’m having the same issue - seemed to have started from the latest kernel update (or amdgpu driver update). There was a discussion earlier from a user with a Nvidia gpu who seemed to be having a similar issue.

Have tried a few things but unsuccessful, i’m afraid.

Also using 42.

I have the same problem, there is a bug report here:

Unfortunately nobody gave a solution yet.

Wait, It seems that the problem was mutter!!!

I tried downgrading mutter earlier (more of a wild guess than anything else), but obviously I didn’t do it right! Cheers!

For anyone else with this problem, the thread linked by @linuxkernel94 states this command as a possible fix (i.e. downgrading mutter):

sudo dnf in koji && cd $(mktemp -d) && pwd && koji download-build -a noarch -a $(uname -m) mutter-48.2-2.fc42 && sudo dnf in ./mutter-48.2-2.fc42.*.rpm ./mutter-common-48.2-2.fc42.noarch.rpm

Oh, and when it crashes changing the virtual console does not work. Also it happends more often when starting the system from standby but sometimes also during the running desktop enviroment. And i am using kde so mutter seems to not be installed, atleast dnf asks me if i want to install it when i type mutter in the shell (i dit not). Thank you!
