Cachy OS randomly lockscreen and freeze

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing a strange issue with CachyOS. After running for a while, my PC locks itself automatically for no apparent reason, and then when I try to unlock it by entering my password, the pc instantly freezes, forcing me to restart the pc with the shutdown button to experience the same thing again

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Is this after the plasma 6.3 update?

No i actually have 6.2.5 version of Plasma, and KDE Frameworks is 6.10.0

My cachy version is 6.13.2-2

Okay that’s good atleast. Can you provide logs?

Here are all the logs from previous session (before crashing): févr. 13 13:05:09 cachyos-x8664 kernel: Linux version 6.13.2-2-cachyos (linux-ca - Pastebin.com

Update: I discovered that Firefox was causing it, once i launch it, some moment later it was causing the issue.

I still don’t know why but i uninstalled it and installed it with sudo pacman -S firefox and now the problem is fixed

@Kergali Which repo was the firefox from that was causing the problem and which repo did you install from to fix it?

Hi guys,

I’ve experienced the same issue recently; the first time was on Plasma-wayland - i removed KDE; on Hyprland i had the same freeze/lockups-solved with hard-reset and on Cinnamon on wayland i faced with the same issue. Anyone faced with similar problems?

Sorry for late reply, i don’t have notifications enabled on this topic. So I remember downloading it from the “Cachy Hello” app, see screenshot below:

And i reinstalled it from the default repo of cachy with sudo pacman -S firefox

Is the issue caused before or after opening a certain app ? Because in my case it was firefox from the “cachy hello” app

@Kergali , the issue appear during the Hyprland/KDE session, randomly with or without Firefox/Cachy Hello opened or other apps.
I’ve reinstalled the OS without KDE and Firefox and seems to be ok so far

@Kergali , i forgot to tell, the freeze happened also on Cinnamon on Wayland.I really believe that happen because something is wrong with wayland.

Important update:
@Claudiu Indeed you are right, i just had the freeze without even starting Firefox, this issue is super weird, i’m gonna try ot reinstall cachy and see if it’s stable on the long term.
