AMDGPU crashed yet again on my laptop. Downgraded the kernel. Did the firmware update too? If so, I should downgrade that too. KDE may have updated, and perhaps it’s triggering the AMDGPU bug more now.
I think somebody said using Cosmic fixed it for them.
Perhaps I should downgrade MESA. Well, then I need to upgrade the other stuff.
Should install Cosmic on the Deck though, maybe it’s more stable then KDE on the Deck. MESA updated on the 21st. The kernel and firmware the 23rd.
Desktop hasn’t crashed yet, but don’t use it much. Somebody said, that’s hard to reproduce, well using LibreWolf in KDE, has been working for me to reproduce it.
And no amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x12 didn’t fix anything.
Won’t use Cosmic on laptop. Too much work to figure out how to use the eGPU for everything. Well, if the monitor is plugged into eGPU, then it’ll seem slow, if it’s using the iGPU.
And the AI is a liar, said to use cosmic-comp to start without a display manager. Now it shows a gray screen.
If I use start-cosmic, it takes a very long time.
Good idea, put username in default_session for cosmic-greeter, instead of whatever Github said to do. That’s what Gentoo said to do. Didn’t work, trying that command without a display manager. But forgot to change getty@tty1.service.
