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 🙂

      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

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

            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.

              ReillyBrogan

              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.

                Cherry-picked usysconf fix addressing issues faced by nvidia users. (Thanks Reilly)

                Updated my two posts above, Reilly Brogan assisted and resolved both my issues.

                Thank you.

                Firefox has crashed 4 times since the update solus budgie i7-4790 × 8 16gigs of ram, x11 and desktop becomes unresponsive ( usb mouse and keyboard freeze up )

                  knuckle Firefox has crashed 4 times since the update

                  For a long time now I've wondered why Firefox users put up with the frequent crashes. Vivaldi is positively boring in comparison. I can't remember the last time there was a serious problem with it.
