From the logs I see:

Kwin_wayland_drm: Page flip failed: no space left on Device

Kwin_wayland_drm: Presentation failed: no space left on Device

I thought it was only zen kernel but it's not.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Arch up to date install, nvidia dkms 5.45.29.02
Triple monitor amd 5900x/3080ti

This is sounding like swap is filled up. Not really enough info to say for sure.

dry lion
#

that's interesting, since my swap 64G and I have 32G of physical ram

#

this is the first time I've used swap in a while, I could just boot a live cd and delete the swap right?

sour obsidian
#

Are you unable to get into the machine at all?

dry lion
#

oh it's working now

#

just had 5 or 6 lockups today

#

I'm looking through the wiki for the syntax to mask the swap

#

looks like systemctl mask dev-disk-by\x2duuid-0ac34787\x2d19f9\x2d434a\x2daad4\x2da3b8c43ce121.swap

#

did the trick

#

hopefully that's it

sour obsidian
#

uh.

#

I'm not sure that did what you think it did?

Like, it may not be a swap thing if this is specifically a GPU lockup. It's entirely possible it's GPU memory being filled up or something.

Even if the swap was being used, masking the swap does exactly that. It doens't resolve whatever may have been filling up memory.

#

The root cause is still undetermined. It may be a program or application, or it may be a driver bug

dry lion
#

I understand either way it's a learning experience

sour obsidian
#

Keep an eye on something like nvtop or htop to try and observe what may be filling up

dry lion
#

ya I'm using less than 3G of ram

#

so I can't see that being the problem

#

but maybe

#

discord on wayland is kinda funky too huh?

#

if I disable hw acceleration will that fix it I wonder...

#

no thanks worse, ah well that's a tomorrow problem

#

I was also trying nomachine as well, that could have been the issue?

#

How do I mark as solved?

ouff kwin window manager
desktop effects were restarted due to a graphics reset

#

I know we're marked as solved but I removed and reinstalled plasma and things seem to be okay now

sour obsidian
#

Are you using gnome or something? I'm curious why that'd solve it

#

I misread, thought you only removed. Still unsure why that'd fix it aside from maybe an errant config somewhere

dry lion
#

no clue

#

discord sucks on wayland though, key input nad typing is a pain
