I’m on arch, using KDE. AMD CPU and GPU.

For the last few months, my computer will occasionally go into a TTY briefly and show a few things (way too fast to read) and then shoot me back to the desktop where every program that was running is closed. Almost like a mini crash.

Super weird. I tried looking in /var/log, but couldn’t find anything relevant.

Anyone know what’s up with this?

    that makes me think graphics driver maybe? Check dmesg output right after it happens, you might see something getting reset.

      Yes I think I found it, kwin_wayland is segfault’ing randomly, causing the whole session to crash and restart.

      Not sure how to fix that though …

        Please start a gdb console for the last crash with coredumpctl debug kwin_wayland, get a backtrace in there with “bt full” and create a bug report with the backtrace at bugs.kde.org
