Hi, I actually have the same problem here but I am unable to say when it happens. Nothing important though.

BruceElephant

Actually this mouse freezing is quite annoying sometimes. : )

BruceElephant Actually this mouse freezing is quite annoying sometimes. : )

Which kind of mouse do you use and how is it connected to your system?
Which Desktop Environment do you use?
If your DE is Plasma or GNOME, which session (Wayland or X11) do you use...?

Please be aware that we can only help you with this kind of "my thing does this weird thing" report if it contains the above information at a minimum. 🙂

BruceElephant

ermo Damn it! I'm sorry! I'm an idiot! I realized later that I forgot to add basic information.

Mouse: HP 430 Wireless Mouse connected through a USB stick.
Desktop Environment: Plasma 6.1.2
Wayland session running on Nvidia Geforce 1660 Super mobile version.

Do I need to look in the Info Center and give you more detailed information?

edit: You know, I have to mention the fact that my wireless mouse (irrelevant of make and model) can run laggy (but not freezing) when heavy torrent downloads are running. Earlier when I first mentioned the problem I was running only a web browser (with only a few tabs opens), now I'm running a web browser (with many tabs open), a torrent download manager (with very slow downloads running), a file manager and a music player and it seems to freeze a bit more often and for slightly longer periods of time then it did in the morning.

edit 2: I've been editing some ebooks today running a web browser (with many tabs open), a file manager, an ebook editing app, an ebook viewing app and an image viewer and the mouse cursor would stutter heavily especially when editing large ebooks.

Sync went fine as usual!

Except for a weird crash I'm experiencing attempting to open images via Gwenview or simply Gwenview itself. I'm on plasma.

1) I attempt to open an image/gwenview and it freezes the whole desktop session
2) At first Gwenview appears to be running as expected, then everything stops. All other running programs become non responsive. The only thing working is the cursor.
3) It lasts for at least 10-15 seconds before the desktop session restarts, after that all programs resume as they were
4) Except gwenview. It doesn't actually load/open at all, therefore the image doesn't either.

Tried restarting the computer, reinstalling gwenview etc but to no avail.

Any help is appreciated 🙂

xjdwc Type of file? Plasma I assume? X11/Wayland?

ReillyBrogan

Any image file, but gwenview itself won't open and crashes. Yes, Plasma. X11.

Solus Budgie, AMD 7800x3d, Asrock mobo, Nvidia rtx series

After sync, waiting 2 minutes, and doing a reboot, my computer hang at the "ASrock" logo.

Mouse and keyboard does nothing.
Rebooting several times does nothing.
Going to BIOS will lead to hard crash, need to hard power off and power on.
I cannot turn off BIOS quiet mode as BIOS will crash immediately after entering.
Cannot load my Solus 4.5 ISO from USB stick

UPDATE
Reilly Brogan assisted me over the course of 2 hours on Matrix and resolved my issue.
I am thankful for his help.
Both my desktops are running fine now.

For self-reference in future
Ctrl-Alt-F3
login on CLI
sudo usysconf run -f
sudo reboot

I tried to sync my old computer which is running Solus Budgie and have not been updated for one month.
I came across this error message.

I waited for 10 minutes and my keyboard and mouse crashed. I couldn't do anything.

i have no choice but to do a reset, and/or hard reboot

After reboot :
[FAILED] Failed to start lightdm.service - Light Display Manager
I'm at a loss at what to do now.

I lost my 2 desktops today, after performing the same sync.
Desktop 1 : synced, rebooted, stuck as "ASRock" logo, crashes at BIOS.
Desktop 2 : synced one month's worth of packages, 329 packages, 2.2GB, stuck at "Updated clr-boot-manager ... running" wait for 10 mins and crashed, reboot and it shows [FAILED] Failed to start lightdm.service - Light Display Manager

If anyone can help me, please contact me on Matrix support channel. I'm there today.
Thank you very much.

Hello,

The Nvidia driver 555 bricked both of my system with Gnome and Plasma. Just black screen without any way to get to CLI, completely bricked. A hard boot is needed. I then went to do a clean install on both systems and everything is fine and dandy until I install the 555 driver then the same thing happens.

I have a 1070 (stationary) card and a 1050 (laptop)

ReillyBrogan

SethStorm666 what size is your efi /boot partition?

SethStorm666

ReillyBrogan

One with 1024 MB
and one with 1500 MB

Should I try make them bigger?

ReillyBrogan

SethStorm666 no, I would expect that to be big enough. Are you able to switch to an alternate tty?

SethStorm666

ReillyBrogan
I tried but no cigar, I'm locked out of the system.

SethStorm666

ReillyBrogan

I'm going to try switching to wayland before installing the driver to see if it makes any differences.

ReillyBrogan

If you boot into a rescue USB and mount your boot partition then there should be a configuration file with two initrd sections. Delete the one with Nvidia in the filename and then reboot.

SethStorm666

ReillyBrogan

I'll do that.

SethStorm666

ReillyBrogan

I'm in my system. Thanks 🙂

Okay. I installed the driver 550 instead, but now the same thing is happening with that driver. So it most be the same dependency package(s) there may be fault. I'm going to try driver 470.

EDIT: Same things happen with the 470 driver. So now I'm stuck with NV driver at the moment.
