Xorg crash after GDM login

Hello.
My xorg is crashing when trying to log in using GDM. If I try it multiple times, it eventually works, but I need to try at least 3-4 times. It is also crashing when waking up from sleep.

@IvanV
Could you please help to share nvidia bug repro from repro state for triage purpose.

nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (396.4 KB)
Here it is.

4

Hey @amrits . Any update? Anything else needed from my side? Thanks

5

Can you please try running memtest86+ on this system? Looking at your bug report log I see a variety of crashes in different places.

6

Hey @aplattner . I did 2 full runs of Memtest 86 without an issue. But maybe I found the root cause. My CPU ryzen 5500 supports PCIe gen3 only, but my bios was set to gen4. I changed it to gen3 and so far no issues. I’ll report a few days later

7

It’s still crashing. Sometimes even when starting discord, opening browser, during a game. The only thing that helps is switching to Wayland. I even tried to turn off XMP.

8

I did an extensive benchmark of CPU, RAM and GPU, no crash. It only occurs when I’m, trying to run something. Sometimes it’s slack, discord, steam, VM. I had also a few crashes when I wanted to click on a video on youtube.

9

I tried to swap a CPU (5500 to 3100) and different RAM. Still the same issue. I created a fresh user with clean gnome, same issue.

10

I haven’t found a solution, but I expect it to be gnome related bug. When running Gnome on Wayland, all works perfectly. I tried KDE on Xorg and no crashes. Even gnome classic seems fine, so not sure where exactly should I report this and if it’s xorg, gnome or nvidia problem.

Hey @amrits @aplattner . I know you are probably not checking this anymore, but I managed to fix Xorg crash issue by removing nvidia-drm.modeset=1 from Grub cmdline, just in case it might be helpful. And if you wonder, I had nvidia modules in my initramfs, MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm).
