Fedora KDE & amdgpu issue

meep · January 17, 2020, 7:18am

Hello! After updating recently, I began noticing frequent display issues (screen completely pausing, and a popup saying “Desktop effects restarted due to a graphics reset”). I’m getting the below errors. Any Idea on what might be causing the issue?

System: Dell Inspirion 13 (7375)
os: Fedora 31 (KDE Spin) 5.4.10-200.fc31.x86_64
cpu: AMD Ryzan 2700U
gpu: Radeon Vega 10 Graphics
ram: 12GB
ssd: 256GB

journalctl output:

Hi @meep

Maybe the workaround indicated in these sites can work to you it looks like fix with your issue.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=251159

So you can try add some of those boot parameters as a temporary change in the boot process so that any change will not be persistent in the next reboot. To know how to do these changes in temporary mode read this page

First test adding this parameter in the boot process temporally like commented above:
amdgpu.noretry=0
If the command before didn’t work try test in the same way (only in temporal mode )this one:
iommu=pt

If any of them did the trick, you can do the changes permanents in one of these 2 ways:

With grubby
Or through editing the file /etc/default/grub.conf and regenerate after the configuration of grub with grub2-mkconfig . Note that there are 2 different options if you do have BIOS or UEFI.

Edit1: I did some changes in some sentences to do better the comprehension they got marked in bold format

Regards.
