Description of problem:

I have a problem that has been present for more than 6 years and it also affects the sections in Xorg, although in a different way (striped screen in Xorg).

I would like to help as much as possible to investigate these screen/system freezes to see if there is a way to recover the system without resorting to a forced shutdown.

I’ve always liked using my old pc as a fedora test mini lab, I’d really love to help improve that, maybe there’s more collateral benefit to this.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: The gonome wayland section suddenly freezes in cases where I use the system panels, many programs open at the same time, playing videos, opening and closing games in full screen, among other things.



Actual results:

The graphics: The graphics are frozen (as if it were a screenshot), the mouse cursor stops moving.
The audio: The audio reproduction does not seem to be affected by this, the music continues to play, the video also and even, and if a music ends, it advances to the next track.
The keyboard: The shortcuts no longer work, it is also not possible to change/open any section of the TTY terminal, but the keyboard lights still respond to “block mayus” or “block number”.
Processor: the light keeps blinking, it also blinks when pressing some keys like “block mayus” and “block number”.
Screen off or screen lock: When the minutes pass and the section activates the screen saver or turns off the screen, the displayed image is only black (what looked like a screenshot is now all black).

My main suspicion is those who say:

ene 17 12:35:15 fedora kernel: nouveau 0000:00:0d.0: gr: intr 00100000 [ERROR] nsource 00000002 [DATA_ERROR] nstatus 02000000 [BAD_ARGUMENT] ch 7 [00072000 vlc[18827]] subc 7 class 4497 mthd 0208 data 00000120

Apparently vlc media player was working at the moment.

I have same manifestations, but hard to say if the cause is the same. This bug report is the closes to what I'm experiencing for the last few Fedora releases. What I noticed is that MS Teams, MongoDB Compass and Android Messages are the applications that are almost certain to cause desktop session lockout. During the lockout I can ssh to host, i.e. everything else is working.

Comment 3 Yonatan 2022-04-28 12:48:44 UTC
I'm afraid that in the latest fedora updates the blocking problems have become more acute, and what is worse, the striped window that I only saw in Xorg sections, now I also see them in Wayland, it usually happens when playing supertux.


Unfortunately, there isn't much interest in improving nouveau drivers and private drivers stopped being compatible with my hardware years ago. 😔

Comment 4 Yonatan 2022-04-28 13:36:06 UTC
I have a particular case where I get a crash with striped screen in wayland, When I use mate's text editor (in the gnome wayland section) in a JavaScript library, I suspect that the crash is caused by some overflow or overload due to that all the JavaScript code is written on a single line.

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 35 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 35 on 2022-12-13.
