I’m not sure if this is a Fedora problem, but this is a problem on a fresh install for me, so before I get too set up, I figured I can try something else. Your experience sounds a little different than mine though. I imagine an update will come around to fix this eventually, but maybe those kernel parameters will work for you?
I’m having the same issue. I’ve seen it might not just be an AMD issue, it could be a GNOME issue, and it might be a wayland issue. Its driving me crazy. Some users said they were able to fix it by setting the kernel parameter amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 which disables the Panel Self Refresh which is supposed to help with battery life. Someone said amdgpu.runpm=0 setting was also required (something to do with suspending the gpu). These didnt work for me and neither did switching desktop environments.
Heres a link to the kernel parameter discussion, and a guide I used.
The problem I’ve had with trying to debug this is that the journal logs are missing the last 5 minutes or so before the crash. I tried writing a script to log every half second, but had the same problem with missing logs. Could this indicate something? ctrl alt f3 doesn’t work either when it freezes. Ran hardware tests and those all passed, BIOS and firmware are all up to date…
Considering some distro hopping.
Wait is this how you get up to date when your system is past long term support? Had trouble updating once and couldn’t find an answer.
Didn’t properly backup my data and lost a couple years of work doing a fresh install (school work and personal projects). Would not recommend doing backups drunk. Would recommend backing up your data regularly.
