[WORKAROUND FOUND] Full System Crash (Cannot Alt+F3 to change tty)
Please help if you're able, I've been fighting this for months on other distros, and it was working on Bazzite until 20 min ago, so I don't know what happened 😭
I believe it's a KDE bug, but since it was working until only 20 min ago, it has to be some configuration of some kind.

try ctrl+alt+f3 for tty
oh oops. Typo. That's the thing that doesn't work
drat. I was hoping it would've been that simple
I'm going to try an
os-tree reset to see if I can fix it, but I really don't know what I did other than install easyeffects
would've loved that 😅
though the bug would've still been presentThis is what happens right before the crash too: https://imgur.com/a/5jTZrSv

Untitled Album
the main screen fails to render anything that's happening, but OBS can see it just fine
The bug occured right after I layered
easyeffects, and I know that messes with pipewire stuff, so I'm wondering if it broke something in pipewire and now things are borkedit shouldn't break something in pipewire, but try to uninstall the package first before doing a full
rpm-ostree reset
rpm-ostree uninstall <package>I did 😭 easyeffects is gone, but the issue persists
already rebooted?
yeah
I rebooted and rolled back to previous image technically
but easyeffects wasn't layered anymore
my hardware is a Framework 16 with dGPU, so I'm hoping that someone else with this hardware has a solution
if it's just me, then I'm uber confused
I'm gonna nuclear real quick after my meeting and try the reset
dammit, nuclear option didn't fix anything
I'm putting my two layers back lmao
just tried X11 and it doesn't load at all. Blank screen, can't ctrl+alt+f3 to change tty. Had to power-button
It seems to have 100% everything to do with my monitor. When I play the game on my laptop screen, everything works fine
in fact, if I move Timberborn to my laptop screen first, and then quit. No crash occurs
KDE completely borked lmao
OK so, I tried using HDMI instead of DP-Alt Mode, and THE BUG IS GONE
so it has something to do with the DP-Alt mode or DP itself. I don't have a USB to DP cable, but I'll grab one today and give it a go
however, it does appear that using my USBC dock with an HDMI output also causes a similar bug, so I wonder if the dock is also DP-alt mode or smth
@Kyle Gospo @matt_schwartz (effectively replying here, since it's better to keep the info centralized)
I've narrowed it down to specifically the USB-C port on the dedicated GPU AMD 7700s. If I use the side ports that are connected to the Motherboard, this issue does not occur. I'm going to open a ticket with Framework and possibly AMD? Since it appears that it's specific to the GPU and / or the GPU drivers instead of just a display port bug

USB-C DisplayPort on GPU module is broken on Linux
I have tried both Nobara and Bazzite so far, and these are both based on Fedora. Bazzite is a community-supported OS. When using the USB-C connection on the back of the GPU to connect to an external monitor, running certain games (Timberborn is extremely consistent) on Steam with KDE Wayland causes a full system crash. I cannot ctrl+alt+f3 to c...
is this stuff still happenning?
the first thing id do is just reboot and check what happened in the logs through
journalctl -b -1 -e -k
@Raevenantindeed it is: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492428
That's got the journalctl stuff, though I just did
journalctl -b -1wait is that your bug report?
cool!
yep!
