I am setting up a Fedora 43 machine (6.18.10-200.fc43.x86_64 kernel) with an RTX 5060 (580.119.02 driver) to login with a default user on tty1. The getty service is restarted every 60 seconds until the user provides a password.
It seems to be a matter of time until the NVIDIA driver issues an Xid 62 directly followed by an Xid 154 (“GPU recovery action changed from 0x0 (None) to 0x1 (GPU Reset Required)”). At that point one needs to hard power off the machine.
I’ve done a bit of analysis and often (but not always) these logs appear about when getty@tty1.service is starting. This often happens short after a reboot, but it can take longer. I’ve isolated some log entries that illustrate this behavior for the last 4 crashes:

During earlier experiments I’ve also seen those crashes right after starting or stopping the lightdm service. (That service has since been disabled.)
Once the user has managed to start an X session, the GPU seems to behave as expected. (No crashes observed so far.)
I attach some more anonymized data.
Thanks!
