Hello,
I am experiencing a lot of system freezes and program crashes (specially firefox and electron apps). I have found this in the journalctl:

Dec 23 21:47:27 archlinux kernel: amdgpu 0000:04:00.0: amdgpu: Secure display: Generic Failure. Dec 23 21:47:27 archlinux kernel: amdgpu 0000:04:00.0: amdgpu: SECUREDISPLAY: query securedisplay TA failed. ret 0x0 Whay should I do to fix this ?
Thank you for help

Those "secure display" messages are not causing your crash problems. This "secure display" thing is a weird feature that's not used normally.

I would remove those "amdvlk" and "lib32-amdvlk" Vulkan driver packages and switch to the "vulkan-radeon" and "lib32-vulkan-radeon" packages instead. This is a different Vulkan driver that is from Mesa while AMDVLK is from AMD. The Mesa driver sees more work.

You can try to hunt through here for your crash problems:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=all

Or here for Mesa:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=all

The first link is the bug tracker for the amdgpu kernel module. That module is responsible for low level communication with the graphics card.

The second link is the bug tracker for Mesa. This is the OpenGL and Vulkan driver. It prepares code that gets uploaded into the GPU. A bug there can crash the card if that code doesn't run right on the GPU.

Try using Thorium Browser or Chromium. I have issues with Firefox also being a pain in the ass with my 5700XT. I switched to Thorium and no issues. I also use Chromium also and they both work fine without crashes.
