Hello there, maybe I should start by saying I am a new Linux user, using CachyOS for a month now, and in the beginning I had no issues, started with GNOME and currently using XFCE4
I should say that the issue I will be telling you guys is a relatively new issue, not sure if it started after updating to 250530, but I can say 100% that I did NOT have this before when I started using, def not on GNOME, and also it was not happening the first few 2 weeks I started with XFCE4
My specs:
AMD Ryzen 7 3700x 8-core x 16
GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER
16gb RAM
CacshyOS with Xfce4
As I said, this issue happens when I have spikes on CPU usage, I have the CPU usage plugin on the xfce4 panel and when the crash happens i aways see a lot of spikes, not sure how I can post a text file with the journalctl logs after a crash 2 days ago, since I have no idea how to read the codes and see what can be a reason for this, I would rather post the ENTIRE thing
have a look in
sudo journalctl -b -1 -p4
there is like 890 lines here, how can i post the results here for yall to see?
Since i am not sure how to post these things here, i tried posting the entire comands but its too much, so here is a text file on gdrive
journalctl results
You can do that by adding | paste-cachyos at end of command. So actually you need to run:
sudo journalctl -b -1 -p4 | paste-cachyos
And share the link with us.
OMG that is neat! ok, here it is af19c8c
not sure if i should wait and do this the next time this happens, when i did it last time it had way more lines of code
I don’t see anything important in the log, although there are a lot of errors related to wireless devices. Is issue reproduced if you disable Wi-Fi/Bluetooth?
I can try, I don’t even use Wi-Fi tbh, how can I disable that? Was trying to look inside the settings but no such options, only wired and BT
BT I use it alot since my headphones are wireless, but I will try for a while wired headphones and disabling both, let’s see if that works
To block only Wi-Fi you need to write rfkill block wlan in the terminal, to block Wi-Fi and Bluetooth use rfkill block all, and to unblock rfkill unblock all.
Gotcha, I made a shortcut to help with that on the wi-fi end, I got the bubble saying Wi-Fi disconected, BT I just toggled off, let’s see if this works, hopefully it was the Wi-Fi the issue, thank you for the help, will update here later if it does not work since it happens multiple times a day
I’m guessing that since you’re using Bluetooth, some desktop environments include widgets by default that do background scanning for other devices in our environment, which often causes audio issues and CPU load. That would explain why issue is there with Xfce but not with GNOME.
Oh, isee, if this is the case, what can I do to still be able to use BT but not have this issue again? Check the plugins and see which one is the guilty one?
Hmm, for Xfce we use blueman by default, but I don’t see any options for background scanning in it, it’s possible that it doesn’t do it at all. But I found a solution for one error from your log (Unable to get Hands-Free Voice gateway SDP record: Host is down · Issue #356 · bluez/bluez · GitHub). You’re probably need to change ControllerMode in your /etc/bluetooth/main.conf to bredrand
Isee, currently is
# Restricts all controllers to the specified transport. Default value
# is "dual", i.e. both BR/EDR and LE enabled (when supported by the HW).
# Possible values: "dual", "bredr", "le"
#ControllerMode = dual
ok, changed to bredrand as requested, thank you very much
