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: 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 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. 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. 2-Deselect enble compositor on startup -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."

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.

Not sure if it due to this but it has always happened when using ProjectM visualization in Clementine Music player. I never had this problem when using Leap 42.2. Also I have FC27 in another drive on the same PC. This freezing never happens with FC27 too.

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.

Hi, are you able to switch to a tty using the keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl + Alt + F1)? If so, login using same user and try running the following command: DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=".local/share/sddm/.Xauthority" kwin_x11 --replace After running the command, switch back to the graphical session. It may switch back to the tty once, if so please switch again. If this works it would likely narrow down somewhat where the problem is. -- - Karl Cheng (Qantas94Heavy) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

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. So I logged in from another host using ssh and this is what I find in the journal logs

Yeah, nouveau isn't working well for me too, it even makes kernel panic for me [1]. [1] https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1101238 -- Kind regards, Mykola Krachkovsky -- Найкращі побажання, Микола Крачковський
