Nvidia random system restarts
Hey all, working with my buddy who is having issues with his 4080 on Bazzite. He appears to be getting random system crashes. Now, I'm aware of the Nvidia experience on Linux, but this seems even worse than I anticipated.
At first I had him on the latest release, but I checked to see if rolling back several images would help and it appears that is not the case.
Anywho, if you have any suggestions to try, I would be happy to pursue them. (Outside of just recommending he buys AMD. (Although that would be the best case)

Maybe try a different image with a different desktop environment in Bazzite. Some have better luck with Gnome rather than KDE on Nvidia. Vice versa for others
Also if you on the bazzite-nvidia-open image, try the bazzite-nvidia image (the closed headers one)
See if either of those make a difference

Here's the logs as well btw
@wolfyreload I'll have him check out the closed source one
Would you mind reminding me what the rebase command would be to go to the closed source? Apologies, it's late and brain is not functioning
Something like
brh rebase bazzite-nvidia:stable-41
Right?yeah just
brh rebase bazzite-nvidia:stable should be good.Seemed to happen again @wolfyreload, do you know if anything in that log is of concern?
This is a constant message
systemctl disable --now supergfxd.serviceDone, will report back if/when it happens again
It appears that maybe steam recording may be his problem?

And also, even with that service stopped and disabled, that log appears to still exist?

Negative, not recording. Not sure.
Is there anything else I can provide to help him?
Wondering if this is hardware related somewhere else in the system. The logs don't appear to have any notable events that would signify the system crashing.
