Ever since I switched to Wayland I experience occasional crashes of gnome-shell.
Sometimes 0 per week, sometime 5 or 6 or more. Today I had 2 such crashes.
Process 3208 (gnome-shell) of user 1000 dumped core.
0x00007fe9f80e6b98 pushbuf_kref (libdrm_nouveau.so.2 + 0x5b98)
0x00007fe9f80e72ec pushbuf_validate (libdrm_nouveau.so.2 + 0x62ec)
0x00007fe9ce48ac79 nvc0_flush (nouveau_dri.so + 0xa8ac79)
Anyone knows how should I proceed to have chance for a fix in the future?
What GPU model do you have?
You can file a bug against nouveau: MesaDrivers · freedesktop.org
Depending on your nvidia GPU model, you may want to consider using the proprietary nvidia driver.
Thank you for response:
Device-1: Intel CoffeeLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics 630] driver: i915 v: kernel
Device-2: NVIDIA TU117GLM [Quadro T1000 Mobile] driver: nouveau v: kernel
Device-3: Cheng Uei Precision Industry (Foxlink) HP Wide Vision HD
proprietary driver is too problematic for me. I have secure boot and a few other things enabled and using Nvidia drivers was too much hassle…
You could maybe disable the nvidia GPU and just run on the Intel IGP.
The good news is that your card is Turing-based, so it should be supported by nvidia’s new firmware-heavy open kernel module, and thus nouveau (with NVK) should be able to properly drive the hardware in the future using that same firmware.
I think I am running on Intel. Not sure why nouveau gets loaded. How do you suggest to disable it?
Also now crash is worse - everything dies, screen completely frozen:

The nouveau driver does not properly support the nvidia [Quadro T1000 Mobile] GPU. Thus it is subject to potentially triggering crashes. The same would be true if no driver were installed or if you manage to disable the device.
The fix is relatively simple but does require you work at the command line a bit to resolve it.
First install akmods with sudo dnf install akmods
Follow the steps shown in the file /usr/share/doc/akmods/README.secureboot so the system is prepared to sign the nvidia modules when they are installed. This will require using sudo with each command listed there.
Ensure the rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver repo is enabled by running dnf repolist and verify that repo is shown in the list. If not then enable that repo by using the gnome software app and enabling it thru the 3rd party repos list (hamburger menu at the top right).
Install the nvidia drivers with sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda.
Wait about 5 minutes then reboot. The nvidia drivers should now load even when secureboot is enabled.
OK, upgraded to mesa 24.1.2 a week ago and I had a crash today again.
So looks like mesa fix did not solve everything.
I am hesitant to move to nvidia drivers as I had issues with them in the past - on boot (i have strict secure boot) and with Wayland.
Thank you for the links but I will not use nvidia drivers in any near future - lost too many days on that couple years ago.
1 or 2 crashes per month seem to be lesser evil than what I had with nvidia drivers.
I probably need to switch nouveau forum then.
i don’t know what happened a couple years ago, but if you will not use the RPMFusion drivers from the repos, then maybe you can wait for NVK.
Actually looks like after Fedora and mesa upgrades situation even got worse - I got one per month before, I had 3 crashes in the last 8 days alone… though errors are now different:

Nvidia hardware on linux has been a huge time sink, and nouveau does not confer immunity. On systems with Nvidia I generally install both – the rpmfusion howto has a section on switching – and switch when a problem appears.
