kwin_wayland_drm: Pageflip timed out! This is a bug in the nvidia-drm kernel driver
kwin_wayland_drm: Please report this at Linux - NVIDIA Developer Forums
kwin_wayland_drm: With the output of ‘sudo dmesg’ and ‘journalctl --user-unit plasma-kwin_wayland --boot 0’

This has started to be an issue from 570.133.04.
570.144 did not fix the issue.

Anytime I do anything graphically intensive my monitor will just freeze. Sounds will still come through, just no response from the display.

This happens to me too. I can recreate it consistently by changing display settings, easiest to show by sliding the brightness up and down, but it also happens randomly while I’m doing other things.

Happens on both both normal kernel and LTS kernel.

Update: Changing to X11 from Wayland does not solve this issue.

I see similar error logs reported by another user on different thread and he no longer sees this issue with beta drivers (currently 575.51.02).
Could someone please verify it once and update.

Nope. Issue still persists

Update: I am trying to aquire the bug report file. The system hangs where even keyboard inputs do not register. I do not have remote access to tty.

Update 2: Got the files

I have this problem on arch linux with

  • kde plasma 6.3.4, kde frameworks 6.13.0, qt 6.9.0
  • kernel 6.14.5-arch-1-1
  • nvidia-open 570.144-4
  • RTX 5070 Ti

I have 3 screens, and when I toggle night color one of the screens will freeze and then the journal spams these repeatedly:

kwin_wayland[115930]: kwin_wayland_drm: Pageflip timed out! This is a bug in the nvidia-drm kernel driver
kwin_wayland[115930]: kwin_wayland_drm: Please report this at https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/c/gpu-graphics/linux
kwin_wayland[115930]: kwin_wayland_drm: With the output of 'sudo dmesg' and 'journalctl --user-unit plasma-kwin_wayland --boot 0'

I have only encountered it when toggling night color or adjusting night color intensity. But I haven’t tried all the ways it could be triggered. But for me it is repeatable by toggling night color.

Thanks for sharing the repro steps, I was able to duplicate issue locally and have file a bug 5275547 internally for tracking purpose.

Hi All,
Fix is already incorporated in 575.51.02 beta release driver, please help to verify and share test results.

Hmmmm, no avail.

Thank you for sharing quick test results and bug report.
Shall share it with engineering for triage purpose.

Can confirm that 570.153.02 does not fix the issue

Hi @hackcr1258
We have the fix already incorporated in 575.51.02 beta driver and I have verified the same on my setup locally as well.
There are few other users on another threads which said that issue no longer persists with 575 beta drivers.
However, it seems that you might be running into some other issue. Could you please confirm exact reliable repro steps and repro video is possible.

I have tried to generate a bug report file. I couldn’t as the computer is already frozen. Not even the keyboard works when it is frozen.

The bug happens when starting WINE to run graphical intensive tasks.
In my case, Zenless Zone Zero.

Heres the bug report file on 570.153.02

Still trying to get another 575.51.02 bug report.

15

Thanks, shall wait for bug report from driver 575.51.02 .

Turns out the issue is fixed after completely powering down my system(turning off my PSU even) after removing the libata.noacpi=1 flag from the kernel parameters. Then turn off Ultra Fast Boot in the BIOS

I’m on linux-cachyos-nvidia-open which corresponds to nvidia-open 580.95.05 driver on the linux-cachyos kernel. I have the same issue when loading the overworld in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Still getting this on 580.95.05, also on linux-cachyos-rc-nvidia-open. This happens every time I even attempt to load a Plasma Wayland session, and COSMIC also refuses to start (though I don’t see that COSMIC reports this specific bug, it just crashes). I simply get a black screen until I hard shutdown my computer - as such, I can’t get a dmesg output. However, GNOME (which is now Wayland-only since 49) loads fine, as do X sessions.
