what's your cpu and gpu? there might be a chance you could stop the crashing by compiling some stuff (Only speculating)

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 4:41 PM

#

I could send my neofetch in a few secs just gotta restart my pc cuz it js froze

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 4:42 PM

#

vast heart what's your cpu and gpu? there might be a chance you could stop the crashing by ...

Gpu ik amd radoen rx580

#

Intel i7-7700K

#

Is cou

#

Cpu*

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 4:43 PM

#

from what I tested before, the binaries for graphics stuff in the pacman repo are kinda slow, you could compile mesa-git from the aur inside a tty to see if it does anything

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 4:43 PM

#

Also could it be bcuz I didnt install the drivers?

#

Only those from archinstall

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 4:44 PM

#

hmm

#

check this https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU

AMDGPU

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 4:59 PM

#

vast heart check this https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU

I dont rlly get what to do there

#

but I reinstalled my drivers

#

is that good or bad

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:00 PM

#

what are you using for your desktop rn

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:00 PM

#

xfce

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:00 PM

#

gnone? kde?

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:00 PM

#

I installed xfce and kde

#

my neofetch rn

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:01 PM

#

uh

#

what

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

?

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

arch linux? why is the debian logo there

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

I switched it

#

cuz it looks better I think

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

wait

#

are you using ext4?

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

yeah

#

why

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:06 PM

#

use the journalctl command

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:06 PM

#

hol up

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:06 PM

#

and try to find a time where your system froze the last time

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:07 PM

#

theres a kde app

#

for the crashes

#

5:16:17 PM CEST

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:07 PM

#

no I don't want the time I want error message

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:07 PM

#

theres none

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:08 PM

#

then use journalctl

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:08 PM

#

did

#

now?

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:08 PM

#

look for the last crash

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:08 PM

#

like scroll down all the way

#

?

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:08 PM

#

just look for the time it crashed if it's in there

#

actually nvm I have no idea how journalctl works

#

use this command
lsmod | awk '{print $1}' | grep amd

#

and show the output

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

amdgpu
amdxcp

#

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:11 PM

#

huh

#

does it crash more during game sessions?

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:11 PM

#

in minecraft it crashed 2 times

#

and once on steam and once on home

#

so I think so

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:11 PM

#

you have mesa installed right?

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:12 PM

#

no

#

it said some stuff is missing

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:12 PM

#

you need mesa for opengl

#

which a lot of games use cause they're too lazy to implement native vulkan

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:13 PM

#

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:13 PM

#

wait no don't compile it like that

#

try the regular mesa through pacman

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

done

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

and check if you have these packages
amd-ucode amdvlk vulkan-radeon

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

how

#

vulkan-radeon I reinstalled it earlier

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:15 PM

#

what about ucode and amdvlk

#

do pacman -Qs

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:15 PM

#

amd-ucode installing

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:15 PM

#

if it shows up it's installed

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:15 PM

#

it didnt say that it alr is there

#

amdvlk is also installed

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

you installed all of those now?

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

yep

#

only needed ucode

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

alr, I have no idea what else to do lol, just try doing something gpu intensive and see if it crashes easily

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

xD

#

my pc isnt even loud

#

when starting minecraft or installing arch it went "phewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww"

#

like a shot loud

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

wdym loud

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

when I went into the tty

#

at installing

#

u know how loud a ps4 can be?

#

2x that loud or sum

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

I don't think that's supposed to happen lol

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:19 PM

#

I mean, 2017 specs and 950 Watt psu

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:19 PM

#

i have specs equivalent to stuff in 2010, that's not the problem

#

are you overclocking your cpu or something?

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:19 PM

#

no

#

when I had windows and did it I got one bluescreen after another

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:20 PM

#

you did that on the same computer?

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:20 PM

#

yeah

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:20 PM

#

are you sure you didn't just damage parts cause of overheating

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:20 PM

#

im too poor to upgrade

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:20 PM

#

vast heart are you sure you didn't just damage parts cause of overheating

it never overheated

#

ik that

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:22 PM

#

well I still think you could just compile mesa-git

#

but it has extra steps

#

not just clone it somewhere and go

#

it needs a clean chroot

#

building that could give more support to your gpu

#

since you installed it today I assume you know nothing about makepkg?

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:25 PM

#

I do

#

its for stuff like yay

#

yay -S cava

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:25 PM

#

no it's not

#

yay is its own thing

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:26 PM

#

cd Cava/

#

makepkg -si

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:26 PM

#

vast heart yay is its own thing

for making pakages

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:26 PM

#

yay is only a helper to get packages from the aur like using a package manager

#

makepkg is part of the system itself, yay isn't

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:26 PM

#

makepkg is make package

#

yay is yet another yoghurt

vast heart Apr 6, 2024, 5:27 PM

#

I know the acronyms

#

if you want to build mesa-git you could dm me

#

cause I don't feel like sending more messages in this single thread

stray temple Apr 6, 2024, 5:29 PM

#

also when I was done installingoverwatch 2 it froze again

mighty solar Apr 6, 2024, 11:19 PM

#

stray temple also when I was done installingoverwatch 2 it froze again

did you solve it yet?

vast heart Apr 7, 2024, 12:19 AM

#

he didn't post anything so I'm guessing he did

stray temple Apr 7, 2024, 9:03 AM

#

nope

#

I did not

stray temple Apr 7, 2024, 10:10 AM

#

I was eating for 20 mins and my pc didnt freeze

#

ig it fixed itself

stray temple Apr 7, 2024, 10:35 AM

#

Didnt fix itself

I reinstalled xorg rn

vast heart Apr 7, 2024, 4:05 PM

#

kind of a long shot but

#

do you have xorg-xrandr installed?

#

that solved an issue I was getting with some games not launching and giving me an opengl error

#

@stray temple

stray temple Apr 7, 2024, 4:10 PM

#

vast heart do you have xorg-xrandr installed?

yeah

#

I completely reinstalled xorg

vast heart Apr 7, 2024, 4:10 PM

#

wait what are using again

#

for desktop

stray temple Apr 7, 2024, 4:10 PM

#

xfce

#

ima go shower rq

#

brb

vast heart Apr 7, 2024, 4:11 PM

#

maybe that could be the issue?

#

as far as I'm aware it's up to the de/wm to draw stuff

#

maybe it's an issue with xfce and your gpu/cpu

stray temple Apr 7, 2024, 4:12 PM

#

vast heart maybe that could be the issue?

On hyprland it also froze once or twice

vast heart Apr 7, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

man idfk then lmao

stray temple Apr 7, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

vast heart man idfk then lmao

vast heart Apr 7, 2024, 4:15 PM
