this error happened on my previous installation of linux too. On that one, i was on gnome, with the 6.15.6 kernel. After 30min to 1hr of booting, it would say (from dmesg):
(the attachment. for some reason its not pasting as just text). and my internet would turn off.
I'm now on kde plasma, and its doing the same thing. I need help pls, if theres any command i need to run for more info pls tell bc i dont know what else to put here.

#

could you put that file on pastebin or similar?

#

I don't fancy downloading it just to look at the tail

#

ok

#

i think this should work https://pastebin.com/GA5DSC2G

Pastebin

rtw89 something something - Pastebin.com

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

#

its mainly just the same thing repeated over and over again

#

apologies for the late response i was busy with something

lspci -k | grep -iA3 net please?

#

Also, is this a dual-booting machine with windows?

#

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-oem-6.1/+bug/2017277 this has a very similar dmesg to what you have shown, worth a try

#

comment 4 has the remedy

#

hmm, is there a way for me to remove rtw89 and install another one? Or would that break things?

#

That's the driver for your device, so you probs need it

daring charm Jul 18, 2025, 3:35 PM

#

ok so how to fix issue then?

daring charm Jul 18, 2025, 4:29 PM

#

i asked my good friend mr. deepseek and it told me to download rtw89-dkms-git (whatever that means). I want to know if that is good advice or not before i try it??

warped moon Jul 18, 2025, 5:15 PM

#

Those are AUR packages, sounds like something to try

#

#

ah, sorry for the late reply.. i tried rtw89-dkms-git, however i got the same error. incase anyone has the same problem, i was able to fix the issue by switching to linux-lts kernel..
