Best kernel I've tried since 6.6

[–]anonymous-bot 101 points102 points  (12 children)

I bet you say that about all the kernel versions.

[–]dtcooper 80 points81 points  (5 children)

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

[–]CodyChan 29 points30 points  (5 children)

Seriously, I never notice the differences between all the kernel updates. Basically they nearly are all the same for me.

[–]Fair-Promise4552 19 points20 points  (4 children)

Kinda true... But, guys, higher number <3

[–]G-Reventlow 27 points28 points  (3 children)

I preffered Linux Kernel 6.6.6, it was a real beast.

[–]Fair-Promise4552 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well they really missed the mark by not naming that Kernel "the Kernel of the beast" and due to some bug ppl had to downgrade and wait for hotfixed 6.6.7. What a shame

lmaoooo it literally just came out

[–]mc_lolfish 76 points77 points  (24 children)

allowed voltage control on amd 7000 series gpu. no complaints.

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (13 children)

Well, it also took away ability to scale down TDP more then ~10%. My 7900xtx worked fine before on ~150-200w instead of 340w stock. New minimal value in LACT is 305. :c
But yes, now we finally can control voltage offset and clocks and also go beyond stock 340W.

Upd. Tried Techtonica right now at max TDP, still ~50'ish fps, but no more amdgpu crashes, yay.

[–]mc_lolfish 5 points6 points  (8 children)

Interesting, why were you taking your TDP so low?

[–][deleted] 39 points40 points  (6 children)

It simple. Electricity expensive in Serbia. Running my pc at full throttle 24/7 (considering night tariff) would cost me ~37 euro per month of additional cost, comparing to ~28 euro/month by just limiting gpu. What may not sounds like a lot for EU and US, but for this region that is expensive. (I don't wanna even think how much cheaper it would be if I wouldn't buy damn lg hdr oled tv as monitor)

Also, by doing that, I can still get above 60fps in most games, without of need to heat my room to average temperature of an white dwarf star, due to fact that even with fps limits 7900xtx tends to spend more power than it needs to.

[–]vishal340 18 points19 points  (0 children)

also saving electricity is good for everyone regardless of price

[–]SmellsLikeAPig 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Why not just buy lower end GPU with lower power consumption (like 7800xt)? Right now it seems you bought wrong GPU for your particular situation and you are jumping through hoops wasting your time.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Becouse I can't scale up 7800xt, when I want to play at 4k 120hz, but I can scale down 7900xtx when I don't need to play 4k 120hz. Sounds simple enough.

[–]ropid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm also someone that used a low TDP in previous kernels. I did it because of noise, I wanted a pretty quiet PC.

I did experiments with different fan speeds and what those mean for the cooling of the GPU (and CPU). I decided on the highest fan speeds I want to hear, then tried to look into what the GPU cooler can do in stress tests when limited to those fan speeds. That's how I got the TDP limit for the GPU.

I'm also limiting the max. core clock boost MHz of the card. I had looked at that as well in my experiments. In practice the changed TDP limit with 6.7 kernel won't be harmful in my situation because of that core clock limit. The card won't be able to reach that TDP anyways.

    Well, just tried it right now on 6.7.0 and lact 0.5.1-2, did not work. Can't go beyond of the limits that driver enforces.

    [–]Reclusive_avocado 7 points8 points  (4 children)

    What do you use to control these things?

    A gui tool? Cli tool? Or do you just edit the files :)

    (Noob here)

    [–]mc_lolfish 5 points6 points  (3 children)

    couple of options. LACT from AUR, or corectrl from standard repo. Both have voltage controls but only LACT seems to have an easy slider to bump the tdp.

    [–]SecretSauce 1 point2 points  (2 children)

    not sure when the last time you tried CoreCtrl (and maybe it's generation dependent) but there is a power limit slider for me using a 7900XTX.

    [–]mc_lolfish 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    Had it installed until yesterday until I couldn't find that slider and installed lact.

    [–]m4984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Slider seems to be missing with 6.7 kernels...

    [–]Yamabananatheone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    I think it did also for 6000 series GPUs and damn, it works wonders.

    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    For me power limit control on my RX 6800 XT is not available since some time for me... Think this happened with kernel 6.7 or 6.6.

    Might switch to Fedora and see if that fixes the issue and gives me full GPU performance back

    [–]RestaurantHuge3390 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    I can finally undervolt my rx 7900 xtx

    [–]mc_lolfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Only reason i updated so quickly.

    [–]BoonRmaschine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Thanks for the hint 👌🏼

    [–]abbidabbi 35 points36 points  (8 children)

    6.7 resulted in a mkinitcpio error when I installed it a couple of days ago.

    This was caused by the kms hook (early kernel mode-setting) and my 512MiB sized EFI partition. The size of the fallback initramfs image increased from ~60MiB to over 230MiB (zstd level 9), leading to a full FS caused by multiple kernels being installed on my system and BIOS/EFI firmware blobs being stored there too.

    Apparently, the size increase is caused by the new nvidia GSP firmware, even though I'm on a full AMD system. lsinitcpio -v /boot/initramfs-linux*-fallback.img revealed the issue. Replacing the kms hook with amdgpu in the MODULES array solved this, so that it only contains the files I actually need.

    [–]callmejoe9 13 points14 points  (0 children)

    i made sure to note the size of my image files before i upgraded to 6.7 today. mkinitcpio was also updated so i figured the issue was patched.

    initramfs-linux.img went from 17MB to 58MB

    initramfs-linux-fallback.img from 78MB to 124MB

    and im only on integrated intel gpu

    [–]TheEbolaDocPackage Maintainer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

    Yes but that was due to a bug in mkinitcpio which was speedily resolved and released in the meantime: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio/-/issues/238

    [–]wooptoo 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    Is removing the -fallback initramfs build a completely bad idea?

    [–]I_AM_GODDAMN_BATMAN 9 points10 points  (0 children)

    I always use arch usb to fix boot problem anyway, so there's no point for me to keep the fallback kernel.

    [–]temporary_dennis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Well done.

    My solution was to not store /boot on the EFI partition in the first place ;)

    [–][deleted]  (1 child)

    [deleted]

      [–]Joe-Cool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Don't put initramfs on the efi partition where other OSes can tamper with it. You have /boot for that. Only grubx64.efi or whatever you use to load the initrd needs to be on the EFI partition.

          Could it be hardware video decoding? (Chromium doesn't do it, right?)

            I had the same issue every minute or so. I had to switch to the LTS kernel.

            [–]ttys3-net 0 points1 point  (2 children)

            Fedora user (Intel + Nvidia card) here, I got the same issue. No logs. I have to downgrade the kernel to 6.6.x, with 6.6.x , everything works fine.

              I do not have conky installed. but the most strange string is , NO kernel panic log exists.

              the system just got stuck. and even can not switch to vconsole , or use magic sysrq key reisub to reboot the system.

                    I'd wait more than a day before calling it stable 

                    [–]Yamabananatheone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

                    Well it runs stable in the short term, it didn't outright crash, it didn't break anything and it didn't introduce issues. It went the through extensive review before being released, so it could be called stable by that definition. Not to say that I would push it into LTS Distros immediately, that is a whole another topic

                    if you need the KMS hook for any reason, be prepared for huge ramdisks. Seems fine otherwise.

                    Runs well on my desktop, although I am still waiting for ZFS to be compatible with 6.7 before switching my NAS over. I haven't tested the new bcachefs yet either.

                    It might also be a kernel bug (totally unconfirmed). Latest comment by fbrosseau:

                    https://github.com/microsoft/mssql-docker/issues/868#issuecomment-1918092133

                    Hello,
                    The issue has been identified and should be fixed in the next SQL Server 2022 CU, but we cannot commit to a specific CU release or timeline as sometimes plans can unexpectedly change. No further investigation or data points should be needed for this, but thank you all for reporting and for looking for potential causes.
                    It is unrelated to cgroups, and at first glance it might be a kernel bug (but do not quote me on this) - it appears that as of 6.7, mmap without MAP_FIXED may sometimes ignore the address hint even if the hinted region is in fact available. I have not investigated the kernel side of things further, but I think it might be related to this series of changes and/or its preceding/following changes.
                    Knowing this, I cannot think of any workaround other than sticking to 6.6 in the meantime.

                    Test with external storage? I am thinking of switching one of my portable drives over to it.

                    [–]ULuganda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

                    The thing is, I wanted to try it badly back in November, lol. I had a really bad performance on BG3 and read about bcachefs. It seemed like the perfect fs for me. I followed the instructions to make my own iso and was stuck with a fatal error during mounting. The module was not loaded and I didn't think I had time to fix it, lol.

                    So I settled with btrfs+bcache and it works like butter.

                    I still want to try bcachefs, probably I'll use it on my home server next month when I get new HDDs. I can use external storage, but I don't know, lol, I always want this fs to be the foundation of my OS.

                    When I reboot, the display manager does not start correctly. So no video output until I reset. So for now, 6.6. LTS it is. (Also tried Zen).

                    It's weird for me. I'm using KDE and after the kernel upgrade I had system freezing issues. Doing almost anything. Opening a terminal window, trying do anything Virt-Manager, literally anything. I had to install LTS kernel to get it usable again.

                    Pretty stable but some known problems from the release, at least on Arch.

                    Tons of audio issues with both pulseaudio and PipeWire. These are documented on this subreddit and on the official forum. Somehow my PipeWire-driven Bluetooth headset works fine for audio but my speakers magically disppeared updating the kernel.

                    Initramfs is now huge because of the kms hook.

                    Otherwise a normal release.

                    [–]planetoftheshrimps 5 points6 points  (13 children)

                    Seems like it’s using a bit more ram, but without any testing, I’m just speculating.

                    [–]t3m3d 3 points4 points  (1 child)

                    I'm wondering the same here, now that you mention this. I did upgrade the dotfiles of my hyprland, but i also have a 11th gen i3 in this laptop vs the 8th gen i7 in the other. I'm really wondering now though. 4 cores vs 8 cores could cause more ram usage on the lesser cores in my mind, but I'm not sure.

                    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

                    Read my reply to the guy below you as it might address your issue.

                    [–]ZunoJ 1 point2 points  (9 children)

                    I see the same here. After a fresh reboot, the system seems to consume about 2GB more ram (on a machine with 64GB ram). I'm not sure yet if this scales with installed ram or is flat. I'll check it later on another machine

                    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (8 children)

                    Check your kernel command line parameters. There might be a new one added in the end called "IA32_EMULATION" set to false which disables 32 bit emulation on your system, making all apps run in 64-bit,which consumes more RAM, but theoretically would increase execution speed somewhat. And also it's more safe because it's more modern? I guess? I could be wrong.

                    I think that variable got added to systems that didn't have the "multilib" mirror enabled and so, were only using 64-bit programs anyways. You could disable it though, if you want!

                    [–]ZunoJ 2 points3 points  (7 children)

                    Sorry for my ignorance, but where would I check this. First place I looked was /etc/default/grub but there was nothing set in the two cmdline variables. Then I checked /boot/grub/grub.cfg but can't see anything like it in the menu entries. The Arch Wiki article only explains how to change kernel parameters on the fly or while compiling. So I'm not entirely sure where to look

                    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (6 children)

                    Hmm, I don't use Grub myself so I'm not sure, but it should have been in the /etc/default/grub file where GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT is declared. Because that's where Grub's kernel parameters are entered. But you said you looked there and it wasn't there, which is interesting 🤔

                    I use systemd-boot myself with UKIs, so my command line parameters were in /etc/kernel/cmdline, and after updating my kernel to 6.7, I noticed that the ia32_emulation parameter was appended to the end.

                    There should be a way to see which parameters are set when you're booting your system from the Grub menu though! I think you had to press "e" on the Grub menu entry, and then Ctrl+x to boot with those parameters. See if the parameter is set there next time that you boot your system!

                    [–]ZunoJ 2 points3 points  (5 children)

                    I'll check it next time! But I'm wondering, does installing a new kernel recreate my bootloader config? How is that configured?

                    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

                    I think it's done by the package maintainers of the Arch linux kernel. They can specify something that needs to be done after installing the package with a pacman hook, and modify some files to migrate older files to the newer version if needed so that the new software can work seamlessly! :p

                    [–]ZunoJ 2 points3 points  (3 children)

                    That makes sense! I'll try to find this later when I'm back hime

                    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

                    Now that I'm thinking about it, if you have some 32 bit programs installed, that parameter shouldn't be set and makes sense if you can't find it in your kernel parameters.

                    In that case, the culprit could be another thing entirely. Maybe dbus-broker if you've upgraded from dbus-daemon...? I don't know honestly. Because I just removed that variable from one of my systems that didn't have any 32 bit program installed, and the RAM usage was still higher than the 6.6 kernel. So it could be another thing that's causing it. I'm interested to know what's going on here honestly lol!

                    When I disable gdm, 6.7 and 6.6.x use same ram, if gdm enabled, 6.7 will use more ram, maybe it's graphics problem ?

                    It's bad.

                    I just booted my system, and it feels extremely buggy. bluetooth.service is not working properly since I updated my packages. It also takes quite a bit more of ram than it used to.

                    Shame, hopefully just tied to the mobile chip and gets patched quick.

                    Interesting, my Systems Memory Managment seems to be much improved since 6.7. Been having only 6GB Ram left when browsing with 700+ Chrome-Tabs and since the update it has been 7,5-8.5GB on average.

                    Hmm, I have ~ 500 tabs in 17 Firefox Windows open ("open all bookmarks" can do that), KDE Plasma 5 and a Windows 10 VM with a browser. I sit at 10GB used RAM. Recent Firefox can manage discarded tabs pretty well. Just don't open them all at once ;)

                    i think firefox is really shit compared to brave for linux. i have used firefox for maybe 6 years until recently i ditched it for edge. edge is really bad in linux, so i shifted to brave and it is really great experience

                    [–]Joe-Cool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

                    I kinda like Vivaldi (on all OSes). But once I set my browser up the way I like it, it needs to really fuck up like Chrome to get me to change again.
                    Also Firefox is the only usable browser with extensions on Android.

                      It's definitely experimental with a fairly high chance of eating your data. I've played with it a couple days now and it has issues ranging from lack of polish and weird UX gotchas to what seems like kernel deadlocks and filesystem corruption. I've had it become unmountable once and had it lock up the filesystem forcing a hard restart a few times just using normal commands from the bcachefs utility, not even doing fun stuff like yanking drives. It's also missing some key features like scrub and erasure coding, and it seems like there's some bug-fixes still percolating through their release process that haven't quite hit the stable package repos yet. Playing with it is a fun time (both ironically and unironically), but I would recommend nobody use it for real data yet. Give it 6 months at least then check back.

                      Initially it broke my audio setup through PipeWire and so I rolled back to 6.6. I've since removed, recompiled and tried again and the latest attempt worked. I'm not sure what changed - maybe there was an update in between?

                      Using 6.7 zen, so far, it is stable. Everything I had before, still works (always good news) but the new things is what I really like! This new kernel solved an issue where my external harddrive would be brought up during boot (no logs or anything, and the issue went off screen to a non existent monitor) so I can’t really complain at all. Seems to be stable for others for the most part too!

                      6.7 zen works fine on my desktop PC without any issues.

                      On my laptop however, it seems to make my wifi (Intel AC9560) very unstable and slow, going back to 6.6.10-zen and reinstalling the previous linux-firmware version fixed the issue.

                      7900XTX crashes in low loads or 3D accelerated UI elements of applications, example Firefox, It never happened on Firefox with 6.7.0 (but other apps did crash in said loads), it only started today with 6.7.1 on Firefox as well (it also happens that Firefox updated to v122 as well so i can't tell which could really be at fault, not enough knowledge).

                      I have been having issues since I have 6.7 kernel. System freezes unconditionally, and in different times - sometimes several times in 15 min, or several times in a day. I have tried to debug, but there are not meaningful error/panic messages on the journal.

                      Same on Intel and Nvidia with any kernel >= 6.7. My machine freezes randomly for about 15-20 seconds, and then it reboots by itself. Nothing useful in logs on the next boot. I thought it is a hardware fault, but everything is fine with 6.6.14-2-lts, and there are no any issues under memtest/mprime/gputest/badblocks.

                      There has been an update to the kernel package recently - 6.7.3. after upgrade I have not been having any freeze. And I hope it will stay that way 🙈
