 |
|
Hello everyone, I've seen a lot of posts similar to mine but none of the solutions worked.
I'm running a ltoized system with a custom kernel on an asus g14.
Everything is working fine, except for random but frequent 5 second freezes with X11.
I think it could be because I am low on storage space, but I am not sure if that is the problem because it has persisted for a while.
I'm using the proprietary nvidia driver and systemd.
Please help me learn how to proceed with debugging this issue.
Thank you in advance! |

The most common explanation for a short stall is insufficient RAM, leading to swapping. For that, we would want to see the output of free -k both when you first log in, and again right after a temporary freeze.
You could also check dmesg for any relevant messages. You could try using an untainted kernel, though I have no reason to suspect that explanation for this problem yet. |

Thank you for the response.
I think I've solved the issue by following this page on Nvidia Optimus:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/NVIDIA/Optimus
Specifically, running | Code: | | doas nvidia-xconfig |
and then adding | Code: | | xrandr --setprovideroutputsource modesetting NVIDIA-0 |
to the xinitrc did the trick.
Thanks a lot for the help! |
