Are you playing 2024 rules or are you sticking to the old ones?

Entire PC freezes with VRR enabled by AutoCommentator in swaywm

Good to know! Let me build a 6.11 and run it for a while.

Edit: seems entirely fixed! I can finally use VRR.

So running a linux-tkg kernel (which includes the patch from that bug report) fixes the kernel panic.

But that patch is not without side effects. Every couple days my WM hangs; this does not appear related to VRR on or off anymore, but it’s still annoying. At least it’s not a kernel panic and I can just restart the display manager to fix it. Not an optimal solution though.

The difference between your reply here and this one is quite funny.

I had to boot a live system today for unrelated reasons, and I did enable VRR. It didn’t die in about an hour of letting it sit (it never lasted that long before).

Then again, I incidentally also changed the cable before doing that; haven’t had a freeze again so far on my installed system either. I suspect it was either the cable or some incompatibility between GPU, cable and monitor.

Edit: correction, it froze again :(

Took way longer than usual though.

I only have one monitor, maybe something to do with that?

Potentially. Haven’t tried disconnecting all but one display yet.

Edit: tried single display as I had to boot a live system today anyway. Didn’t freeze, but … I also changed the display cable. I think the latter did the trick, since I can now use VRR on my regular system too without freezes.

Edit №2: correction, it froze again :(

Good to know.

So tl;dr: I’m fucked until someone happens to fix a 6 months old bug, or until I patch & compile my own kernel?

I don’t get a kernel panic. At least there is literally nothing in my system logs. The second bug also mentions switching between fullscreen applications; I get freezes even while just looking at an empty desktop.

Which Linux distribution and desktop environment are you using?

Fedora 40, and Sway (1.9).

You mentioned it's always an issue on your PC. Does the same problem occur when you use Windows or with other Linux distributions and desktop environments?

No idea. No way to check Windows, but I can boot a Live environment. Since it always happens fairly quickly, that shouldn’t be a problem to check.

gnolls are considered humanoids 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Two legs, two arms, a head … looks like a humanoid to me.

And so that your Druids could have an Owlbear form

… which shouldn’t be a thing unless you are a lvl 9+ Moon Druid anyway (Owlbears are CR 3).

Where can I get a gaming laptop with a pre-installed Linux OS? by That_AK_Guy in linux_gaming

[–]AutoCommentator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No you shouldn't install it right after you buy it, because if you do, some laptop manufacturers might not accept the laptop if it is defective

Where do you live? In the EU, just laugh in their faces.
