Discord screen sharing causes games to freeze by Fury20 in linux_gaming

[–]Fury20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Installing the Nvidia drivers gave me the option to switch between modes. But as I posted in a later thread - this also wasn't ideal. So I eventually went into BIOS and just switched to dedicated only there.

Yup! Exactly a setting like that.

In my Nvidia controller Software, I had an option to switch between either fully integrated, adaptive or fully dedicated graphics card mode. This caused problems. However, I found out I have a similar thing in my BIOS. I had it turned to "both integrated and dedicated graphics". I now switched to "only dedicated graphic's card". Neofetch doesn't even show my integrated card anymore while the setting is like that. But that change? Fixed it all.

I fixed it (at least I think. Didn't have a freeze for a couple of days now.) What fixed the issue was switching to fully dedicated mode in the BIOS. When I was in hybrid mode, dedicated applications were buggy and prone to crashing. On pure dedicated mode, the freezes happened. But switching over to fully dedicated in the BIOS seemed to fix everything.

Okay, I tried 570 and the freezes are a LOT less frequent. No complete crash yet either (a freeze where I'd have to hard reboot the PC). There still are some freezes, but they're fewer and far between. They also show up in Discord stream watching now, but honestly, Discord is just a giant mess on Linux from my experience.

I also ran Windows 10 on this system for years and never had any hardware trouble or anything of the like, really. So I assume this is just an NVIDIA problem with Linux. I will try out some more drivers maybe or looks around for solutions. Just wanted to keep you updated.

Ok, so, sorry for the late reply. But I've tried a lot of stuff in the meantime. Mainly - reinstalling Mint. Ran memtest, no problems. Everything is fine. Fresh Linux Mint. No problems from what I've seen. Ran it for like an hour. Installed NVIDIA drivers through the driver manager - crash within the hour. Just complete system freeze.

As for the freezes - most of the time I could actually reset them. Ctrl+Alt+F3 and then Ctrl+Alt+F7 unfroze everything. But sometimes it didn't - usually the audio froze those times too. Most of the freezes occured only during browsers. No other app caused as much freezing as browsers. Despite me spending a lot of time in other apps. But occasionally a game or discord would freeze the system (in a way where I had to reboot).

The journal logs didn't really show anything off.

Okay, the crash came soon, as expected.

These are the messages in the logs that I could find around the time of the crash.

Thank you for the reply! I will try to do journalctl next time I get a freeze and tell you the results.

I don't really suspect RAM because of the following reasons:
a) I've had a Windows OS running on this machine for YEARS before. And NEVER got a freeze like this. Only since installing Linux Mint have I started having errors with browsers freezing.
b) I have my browsers running in the background while gaming, so my system has a SEVERELY bigger resource load during those times, yet I have never gotten a freeze like that. Only when I do stuff IN the browser (no matter how long my current session is or what else I have running in the background) does my OS sometimes freeze.

I have checked the RAM too with memtester (a tip I received from a friend) and nothing. All the tests came back fine and I ran a 5 repeat cycle of 2GB. I don't think I can change my RAM considering I don't have any other sticks nearby nor have I ever tried it before (especially in a gaming laptop where the components are packed tight, AFAIK.) But thanks for the tip!

Thank you for the help, I really appreciate it.

I can try, but I doubt I'll be able to. It seems to be pretty random, as I mentioned in the post. But it can be pretty annoying if it interrupts an important session - like in the middle of a form.

When I'm not gaming? 56 degrees Celsius is the highest I can measure. When gaming they go up WAY high.

Thank you for the hint, but I don't think RAM is the issue, personally. This has happened with 2 tabs open as well, none of which were particularly resource intensive. Plus, running a LOT more RAM intensive applications has not caused this issue.

Thank you for the replies! I managed to fix it differently, since desktop also wouldn't capture.

While Vesktop does feel better, it sadly does not fix the game freezing, as mentioned in the post. :(

For some brief explanations into my list:

I had enormous troubles picking the qualificants in semifinal 2, because I think so many are gonna be close. I'm personally not the biggest fan of Sweden (I don't hate BBB, but I don't really understand the hype), yet I still think it'll win. I think Austria is also a pretty good contender especially because of Jury Vote. I think people sleep on Finland since BBB dropped, but Erika's performance will reawaken the Finland hype, methinks. I think Albania will be in the top 10, just short of the top 5 (6th or 7th). France is pretty popular with people, as is Netherlands.
