Recently freshly installed fedora 41 on asus zephyrus g16 amd laptop and almost daily will hit a point where the screen and everything freezes and I have to do a hard reset.

I have a very similarly specā€™d MSI laptop (Ryzen 9 with an nVidia 4060) and itā€™s definitely the nvidia driver crashing that is causing it for me. Similarly, itā€™s an almost daily reboot.

Itā€™s interesting since it wasnā€™t happening before on the Asus ROG kernel. That said I was on f40 then. Itā€™s a real pain.

Hi All,

Iā€™m 99.99% sure that this is because of the xorg-x11-server-Xwayland 24.1.5 update.
After updating, wine applications broke for me with memory errors and my desktop froze.
Tried multiple reboots, got the same results, thus I did a downgrade:

sudo dnf downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xwayland

After that & rebooting, everything works fine now.
The package is on 24.1.3 version now here, no issues at all.

Take care!

Spec: Fedora41+XFCE, Kernel 6.12.13, GF1050Ti drv 565.77

Iā€™ve been having similar issues on my desktop with an RTX 4070. Running F41 KDE with drivers 565.77. At first I only notice that the computer would refuse to turn the monitor on from idle (just turned the display off, not sleep). I would have to hard reboot.

Then I started noticing it during just general use/browsing. It would start to stutter, my mouse cursor would hang and music would skip. Then it would get worse and worse until it was completely frozen and unresponsive and require a hard reboot again.

Nothing Iā€™ve done has seemed to make any difference yet. I will try downgrading xorg-x11-server-Xwayland and see if that helps though.

Few weeks back - this was before the Xwayland package update - it was the xfwm4 process that eat up all of my memory. This was a one time thing, never experienced it before, nor after. I killed it, rebooted and had no issues until the 24.1.5 update. Now it uses less than 1% of the memory. As you are on KDE, I donā€™t think you will see this one, but there is a bug report / investigation for this for XFCE.

7

It might be related. It definitely FEELS like a memory leak; the one or two times Iā€™ve encountered a misbehaving application leaking memory like crazy, the behavior was very similar.

I did open System Monitor and watched while the bug happened, and I saw RAM usage tick over from 10.7gb to 11gb (I was running a game to try to ā€˜stressā€™ test it) when it happened, but thatā€™s far from maxing out my 32gb of RAM.

I did also come across another post on this forum saying it was related to the xwayland package and recommended downgrading, but I did this and it didnā€™t fix it.

I wonder if itā€™s running out of VRAM?

8

I updated xorg-x11-server-Xwayland to 24.1.5 again and watched the system for several days and everything seems to be normal now. Hm, my issue may have been a random anomaly and the package was not the culprit here.

9

The problem is Iā€™m not seeing any really interesting journal entries, core dumps etc so how do we start isolating the issue?

10

Mine turned out not to be software related at all. It was a bad NVME drive. Ironically not the one my system was on, and in fact itā€™s one I donā€™t normally even mount. Just it physically being installed in my system would cause the system to stutter and freeze. I wasnā€™t able to narrow it down to a hardware issue until trying a live USB and still getting the problem. Thatā€™s why I wasnā€™t really finding anything relevant in dmesg or journalctl either.

11

I sent mine out and it just came back with a ā€œcleanā€ bill of health from whoever services the laptops for Asus. Iā€™m going to have to re-install now but Iā€™ll give the live USB method a try.

@gbouras is it working now? I have a similar NB and got the same freezing with Fedora 41 (but not from the beginning). Thanks!

So now things seemā€¦ok. I had a huge issue with the latest kwin update where I was getting a black screen on boot and lots of crashes. After that I had this issue where if I full screened a video on youtube on my built in laptop display and moved my mouse to the external then back - it would freeze and I would have to hard reboot. Interestingly enough this did not happen if I did it on the external display. I had AMD error messages after. Soā€¦I am running all my graphics on NVIDIA and so far there are no issues. Other than I canā€™t use sway etc.

When using wayland can you try creating folder and file ~/.config/environment.d/90-nvidia.conf
with the content

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
__VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only
