System collapsing

My laptop sometimes collapses, and I don’t understand why, since it has a relative good hardware. I’ve been trying to catch what htop throws before collapsing, but is really unpredictable when is going to happen, so I haven’t had success.

I asked an AI, and apparently the GPU is not correctly set, but I really thought it was good setted.
One suggestion AI made was to force the system to use only the AMD GPU, but I believe it would be a waste of resources.
AI also suggested making a stress test, but it seemed to be OK.

I don’t know if it is related with the akmod: Building /usr/src/akmods/v412loopback-kmod.latest failed! error that I get while booting, but as far as I remember, the collapses came before this error.

I’ll share some of the outputs I collected from the time I was trying to solve it (a couple of collapses ago):

AI told me about it that amdgpu: Secure display: Generic Failure and SECUREDISPLAY: query securedisplay TA failed. ret 0x0 are associated with the AMD graphic driver and that it is the root of the problem. I don’t know if it is true, though.
It also told me some modifications to make (add amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff to the GRUB or try with amdgpu.dc=0, update the GRUB with sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and reboot), but being honest, I’m scared to try it. I wouldn’t like to end up with a black screen.

About this, AI told me that it is a failure of the amdgpu driver, related to the Secure Display component and that I should disable Secure Display by adding amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 in the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in the file /etc/default/grub, then execute sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and reboot, but I’m not sure is a smart move.

I see one thing of concern in the listing of nvidia packages.
The nvidia-gpu-firmware package is missing from that list and is required for use with the 580 nvidia driver.
It can be independently installed with sudo dnf install nvidia-gpu-firmware but is usually part of the linux-firmware package updates. It usually only disappears with a user removing it. I think it also may be reinstalled with sudo dnf reinstall linux-firmware (which should reinstall all the different firmware packages for the system) but I have not tested that.

After making sure the nvidia-gpu-firmware package is installed I would also run akmods --force --rebuild to fully ensure the nvidia driver is properly built and check that with modinfo -l nvidia. The last command should return Dual MIT/GPL if the module is properly built for the nvidia GTX 1650 gpu.

The package was in deed not installed, but I see that the return of the modinfo -l nvidia command was already as it should be, which I find a bit confusing:

akuilera@fedora:~$ rpm -q nvidia-gpu-firmware
package nvidia-gpu-firmware is not installed
akuilera@fedora:~$ modinfo -l nvidia
Dual MIT/GPL

sudo dnf reinstall linux-firmware did not work to install the mentioned package:

akuilera@fedora:~$ sudo dnf reinstall linux-firmware

This FW is only required by the nouveau driver. I would keep it installed on a single GPU system in case you need the fallback to work. It’s less important on dual GPU systems like notebooks.

Could be out of date and incompatible with 6.17 kernels? Check the logfile as suggested in the error message.

@akuilera I have a different laptop, but a very similar setup, and it is mostly working here. What exactly do you mean when you say the system “collapses”? Does it stop responding? Shuts down?

One thing that I had to do so that the amdgpu driver worked correctly was remove it from the initramfs file, there is a kernel race condition that (on my system at least) prevents it from correctly booting on some specific conditions. I achieved this by creating a /etc/dracut.conf.d/no-amdgpu.conf file with

# remove 'amdgpu' driver to avoid race conditions that sometimes
# prevents proper internal display initialization during boot
omit_drivers+=" amdgpu "

Mind you this was not related to daily use, on my case it manifested on very specific occasions (eg. when I boot the system on battery the internal display most of the times is not initialized), so it might not help you at all…

Not true with the new open source driver (though it is correct with the proprietary driver). It is mandatory for most nvidia GPU before the driver is able to function properly. Pedro has the open source driver built, but it will not function without the firmware.

Since it shows as not installed even after reinstalling linux-firmware then install it individually.
sudo dnf install nvidia-gpu-firmware

That error with failure to build kmod-v4l2loopback seems to indicate you may need to reinstall both v4l2loopback and akmod-v4l2loopback

Even I experience a similar issue, the system gets shut down when I tried to drag and drop screenshots to any code editor, I have seen similar issues in previous discussion but happening when tried to drag and drop in firefox browser, but that is working fine for me, it is only happening when tried in code editors, can someone tell a fix for this.

shutdown (power off??) or gnome-session crashing?

Upgrade mutter to 49.1.1 , it’s in repo updates-testing

It isn’t required for nvidia, it’s only use is for nouveau fallback or systems using nouveau.

Nvidia uses it’s own firmware

Exactly my point. The new open source driver needs the firmware while the proprietary driver does not. Your driver is open source as indicated by the license.

However I do note that the nvidia-gpu-firmware package only contains firmware for the 535 and 570 drivers so it appears that the firmware for the 580 driver is installed with the xorg package you show above.

That makes sense with the firmware now being proprietary for the nvidia driver so it comes from a different source. With earlier proprietary drivers the driver was proprietary while the firmware was distributed as open source. Now that is switched. The firmware is now the proprietary binary blob.

12

? The required FW is in xorg-x11-drv-nvidia. What else do we need to show you to see that?

13

That has never been true.

14

Then explain for a layman this:
with firmware blobs that are specified for specific driver versions.

It’s just some shit nouveau needs to function.

17

I would also add " nouveau " to this list to prevent the size of the initramfs from increasing unnecessarily, which will very quickly fill /boot to 100%.

When I say that the system collapses, I mean that it completely freezes. Not even the mouse moves, or it moves extremely slow, even if the screen is still showing stuff, as if it was not having problems. The fans also start to spin like crazy and the laptop gets hot.

@ocosta in my case, it is for daily use, so I’d rather have confirmation that it is safe to create that file.

@anotheruser you also mentioned that I should add noveau in the file
Like so: omit_drivers+=" amdgpu ", " nouveau "?

19

Yes, it is safe. What I was trying to say is that what I was trying to fix was something that happens occasionally, not regularly.

AFAIK the correct syntax would be

omit_drivers+=" amdgpu nouveau "

Here is some more context in case you are curious about it.
