To the best of my knowledge, the kernel error call stack messages seem to be related to the nvidia module. Linux scout 5.8.10-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu, 17 Sep 2020 18:01:06 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux NVIDIA-SMI 455.23.04 Driver Version: 455.23.04 CUDA Version: 11.1 GTX 1070 Kernel crashes dur…

I noticed that most people here are on kernel 5.8 or later, like I was. So I decided to switch to 5.4 LTS instead, at least for a while, to see if the same crash happens there. I’ll post it here in case it happens…

@wamogo5042 For me, it also occurs on the 5.4 LTS kernel.

Confirm, also reproducible on lts kernel : paź 17 11:50:59 rebro kernel: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020 paź 17 11:50:59 rebro kernel: #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode paź 17 11:50:59 rebro kernel: #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page paź 17 11:50:59 …

@RandoNando @al.piotrowicz Ooof. Well, it’s been three days of me using the LTS kernel and no crashes yet. But fingers crossed, I guess. >:(

I am using below configuration setup in order to replicate issue locally but no luck so far. Precision T7600 + Genuine Intel(R) CPU @ 2.60GHz + Arch Linux + 5.9.1-arch1-1 + Driver 455.28 + TITAN Xp + Chromium 85 + I am running multiple tabs on chromium along with fishgl.com for sever…

Maybe try turning on GPU acceleration on fishgl with chromium://flags? #ignore-gpu-blocklist - enabled #enable-gpu-rasterization - enabled #enable-accelerated-video-decode - enabled #enable-oop-rasterization - enabled

You also need the chromium-vaapi package I think. GPU acceleration with the arch default package only works with AMD and Intel GPUs. Chaotic-AUR - automated building repo for AUR packages Would be a binary package, but if you want to build from source, you’re going to need to compile for a longgggg…

Thanks RandoNando, I will try your recommendation and update. Also please help to provide below information - Is the issue reproducible on older drivers (say from r440 branch)? is the issue reproducible on single monitor setups?

@wamogo5042 In my case it happened on Kubuntu 20.04 with Linux kernel 5.4.
