Update to F40 renders plasma-desktop and sddm unusable (slow, sluggish, unresponsive)

Hello,

I just updated my f39 system to f40 (beta). It was a smooth transition except that the update makes sddm and plasma-desktop hardly usable. This is because mouse and keyboard become very slow, sluggish, unresponsive.

To circumvent the problem i installed xfce, use non graphical login and start xfce with startxfce4 currently. Xfce desktop experience seems not to be effected by the problem.

Some more information about the system:

  • nvidia driver (550.67) (not using nouveau because I need cuda)
  • no problems like this with f39 before
  • NVIDIA Corporation TU106 [GeForce RTX 2060 Rev. A] (rather old)
  • When I start a kde-plasma application on CLI (e.g. kwrite), I see the following:
     DRM kernel driver 'nvidia-drm' in use. NVK requires nouveau.
 MESA: error: ZINK: failed to choose pdev
 glx: failed to create drisw screen

Anyone with the same problem? Any suggestions what to do?

Kind regards,

aanno

Added kde

Hm
 It’s trying to access Vulkan, first through NVK which is tied to nouveau and when that fails falling back to Zink. Might be your nvidia drivers didn’t end up correctly installed after the update.

Could you give the output of these two commands, please?

vulkaninfo| grep deviceName

and

glxinfo|grep OpenGL

Dear @shorberg,

thank you for looking at the problem.

$ vulkaninfo| grep deviceName

OK, it does not seem your nvidia drivers are either not installed properly or not detected for some reason.

You might want to try to reinstall them completely and see if that helps the system to pick the right drivers.

Well, I will try. But the current situation is kind of interesting as CUDA is working:

I tried to reinstall the nvidia stuff by:

  • sudo dnf remove nvidia-kmod-common
  • sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia nvidia-driver-cuda
  • rebuild modules with akmods --rebuild --force --kernels ...
  • rebuild initramfs with dracut --verbose --regenerate-all

However, this has not resolved the problem.

First, sorry but if your Nvidia drivers are loaded and CUDA is working then I am going to go out on a limb here and say the relative slowness in not video card related. Since you were observing the “slowness” with keyboard and mouse behaviour, perhaps there is more there. Are you using Wayland? XFCE is X only is it not? I guess that if you had Plasma installed then Wayland is in use normally and x is your fallback. You could try a systemd-analyze blame to see what is so slow at start up.

9

Well, very difficult for me to tell if it is graphic driver or graphic video card related.

Here are some more observations:

  • Non graphical login, start plasma with startplasma. X11 based plasma/kde is comming up (takes a lot of time), but hardly usable as mouse (and keyboard) are extremely slow.
  • Non graphical login; start plasma with startplasma-wayland: wayland based plasma/kde is comming up (takes a lot of time), but hardly usable (as with X11)
  • Non graphical login, start xfce with startxfce4: no problems
  • display manager sddm: hardly usable (as above)
  • display manaer lightdm: no problems
10

Maybe Nvidia drivers appear to be installed but they aren’t being used is somehow related to this problem.

An important rpmfusion update has arrived that provides the nvidia 550.76 (instead of 550.67) driver. I gave it a try and it has resolved the problem.

$ sudo dnf remove nvidia-kmod-common.noarch kmod-nvidia-6.8.6-200.fc39.x86_64.x86_64 kmod-nvidia-6.8.5-301.fc40.x86_64.x86_64 nvidia-driver-NVML.x86_64 nvidia-driver-cuda-libs.x86_64 nvidia-libXNVCtrl.x86_64
$ sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda

Now the following packages are installed:

Current state: After 2 weeks afk, dnf update updated ~1500 packages and the problem is present again. However, my proposed solution is not working any more.

A hint that something is not working correctly is that nvidia-smi does not report any processes (‘No running processes found’). Current nvidia driver version: 550.78-1.

15

A similar problem is reported at the nvidia forum. I added my observations.

16

The problem has disappeared and plasma/kde is working again (with the proprietary nvidia drivers). But this time the packages from fedora-multimedia are installed. Kernel is 6.8.9-300.fc40.x86_64.

I have the same issue after upgrading to Fedora 40. My GPU is not an Nvidia but in the logs I find:
fedora 40 windows manager warning buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message

glxinfo|grep OpenGL results in:
MESA: error: ZINK: vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices failed (VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED)
MESA: error: ZINK: failed to choose pdev

Any hint?

Recently have upgraded to FC40 and seems that I have the exactly same situation as @arcadio813, so no nvidia drivers, like

> vulkaninfo| grep deviceName
deviceName        = llvmpipe (LLVM 18.1.6, 256 bits)

> glxinfo|grep OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa
OpenGL renderer string: llvmpipe (LLVM 18.1.6, 256 bits)
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 24.1.7
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.20
...

> any gui app sluggish with following
MESA: error: ZINK: failed to choose pdev
libEGL warning: egl: failed to create dri2 screen

And the UX is trully sluggish, evidently unusable. Is this issue already revealed or identified solution found also for non-nvidia drivers relation?
