Each time it happens, this is what I see in the logs. What do you think is happening?

I don't know whether you are using Wayland or Xorg, but if using one, try the other. If that doesn't help, it's worth trying the other FOSS Xorg driver in an Xorg session. To use:

I am using Xorg. Will definitely try wayland because on the FC27 where I don't see the problem, it is wayland.

Ctrl-Alt-Fn login as root zypper rm xf86-video-nouveau log out of your X session restart X or reboot log into an Xorg/Plasma session

OK. Will try this.

and see if it helps. If you check Xorg.0.log you should see instead of nouveau(0) Xorg reports you are using modeset(0) (on the lines that say "connected" and many others). It's what my GT218 uses in 42.2, 42.3, 15.0 and TW.

Ok.

Other things to try may not help, but it shouldn't hurt to try:

1-disable Plymouth, temporarily by appending plymouth.enable=0 to the boot stanza you use in Grub. If it helps, remove the plymouth package with zypper or yast.

Which means I will lose the boot animation. But will try this temporarily.

2-Deselect enble compositor on startup

This I require because of projectM visualizations and desktop effect which will not work with compositor disabled. But thanks for all the suggestions, will try them and see what happens. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Just days back I migrated to Tumbleweed from Leap 42.2. I have been have this frequent issue when the GUI becomes unresponsive. All I can do is to move the mouse pointer. However I can login to the host using ssh and reboot the system and that's how I get my pc running. My Graphics card is NVIDIA Geforce GT 710. The TV is connected to the PC through an HDMI cable. I am using the native Nouveau driver.

I used to have problems with a freezing desktop using Nouveau and it was "cured" by uninstalling Mesa-dri-nouveau (Mesa DRI plug-in for 3D acceleration via Nouveau) and locking it so it can't be installed.

This sounds logical because the freeze always seems to happen with 3D acceleration. After updating to Jul 09 snapshot, I haven't got a single freeze till now. But this is what I will try next if the problem reoccurs.

Sorry for stating the obvious. (and I'm actually surprised nobody else did yet. ;-)

But have you tried to install the proprietary nvidia driver already?

There are packages available for Tumbleweed as well since quite a while... https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers

Yes. The freeze happened with the proprietary drivers too. But I didn't capture the logs. Also, surprisingly, the CPU utilization of kwin, plasmashell is much lower with the nouveau driver. With leap 42.2, I had better performance with proprietary Nvidia drivers. Yesterday I updated to the 09 July snapshot and I haven't had a freeze even once, even when choosing highest quality and frame rate of ProjectM visualization. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hi, are you able to switch to a tty using the keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl + Alt + F1)?

It happened again today. This time I had playing a video in Kodi and I had paused the video. After around 30 minutes when I decided to play the video, it wouldn't play and I discovered that the GUI had frozen. Cntrl + ALT + F1 didn't work. The keyboard just wasn't responding.
