Hope there will be a fix soon, but it seems to appear on some, but not all Strix Halo machines.
To be fair this is a well known issue and affects not only AMD but also Intel and Nvidia GPUs as well and it seems to be related to how pageflip timeouts are handled between window managers/compositors, the gpu driver module and the kernel.
I’m now trying another possible solution option, under KDE Plasma Kwin, to disable the Vertical Refresh Rate (VRR) via a global environment variable (such as set in /etc/environment):
KWIN_DRM_NO_VRR=1
❌ I’ll report back how that went. Update: It didn’t work, same issue!
At the moment it is quite annoying. I mentioned it here and usually can reinitiate the session through an ssh connection and systemctl restart of the kde_wayland service.
[ℹ] By the way, most times I get a hard crash and have to power cycle the mini PC to recover from it. But when I don’t get a hard crash and it is still recoverable, alternatively to that SSH connection from a different PC, you can simply disconnect and reconnect the display (HDMI, DP or USB-C). Or change to a different virtual console TTY interface (CTRL-ALT-F2,F3,…) , login and restart Kwin Wayland with: $ setsid kwin_wayland --replace & and then logout and return to the original console TTY interface where KDE Kwin is running. Anyway, it is a pain and really unreliable. 😠
