Ever since the FF update 103 i’m having troubles with freezes
Usually what happens is Firefox freezes and a few seconds later the whole system freezes
How to know what is causing the issue?
It is driving me crazy and i have to force shutdown my pc everytime
Can you post the logs from when this is occuring?
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/viewing-logs/
Also if you run firefox from a command line do you see anything that looks like an issue?
Updated to F37 to see if it fixes anything
Got this error starting FF
glxtest: VA-API test failed: process crashed. Please check your VA-API drivers
The VAAPI drivers may have been removed when you updated, mesa.
You may want to disable hardware decoding, You can disable it at about:config page setting media.hardware-video-decoding.enabled to false.

Yeah i’ve read but i might install the new mesa driver from RPMfusion
Tried checking the logs, but it only shows boots from 06-28 to 07-03
I might have to wait until next freeze, it’s not going to take long
As expected, just crashed and system freezed AGAIN
Journalctl still not showing boots from this month
This really sounds like something that may have happened way back when the logs quit updating may have finally caused a crisis. If journald is not running then something is seriously wrong. Without journald then the logs do not get updated.
Have you done a sudo dnf --refresh distro-sync in an attempt to make sure everything is up to date? Or any other recovery attempt?
Hello, Firefox maintainer here. Please file a bug at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ . This particular error looks like pulse audio issue I saw before but I need more info.
Thanks.
Yes everything is up to date, also updated to F37 hoping it would fix the issue (it didn’t)
AFAIK i should be using pipewire
Here it is, not sure i posted it properly though
Hoping for a workaround i switched to Wayland, everything seems fine apart from Firefox
Dropdown menu flickers a lot, seems to be related to text scaling
Any idea on how to fix this?
EDIT:
This is known:
and a fix is underway: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2022-c1ff6ec13b
Thanks
I’ll open another thread and report back if i get any freeze on Wayland
Happened again, noticed it from Spotify music not starting
Noticed these errors after checking va-api status

Fixed by installing

Will post again if it happens again
Unfortunately it keeps happening
