SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. setup sensor in plasma-systemmonitor for gpu (my 6750 xt appeared as GPU 1) using linux-tkg-pds
2. restart into default Arch kerne and check for sensor readings.
3. restart back into linux-tkg-pds and check for sensor readings.

OBSERVED RESULT
When I boot into the vanilla Arch kernel, all my sensors go blank and I have to replace all the sensors with ones from "GPU 2" rather than "GPU 1". Its the same amd 6750xt card, standard mesa/radv drivers, and there are no other GPUs or APUs in my system.

EXPECTED RESULT
name of GPU should stay the same regardless of kernel.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I should note, linux-tkg-pds is currently at 6.4.10, whereas both the vanilla Arch kernel and linux-zen are at 6.4.12. The latter two both show the GPU name as GPU 2, while only tkg-pds shows GPU 1.

Comment 2 David Redondo 2023-09-08 06:37:10 UTC

we use the order in which the kernel reports GPUs as our order not sure what else we can do here.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-09-08 16:55:24 UTC

Could we sort them by name?

I think it might be card-related because my old card was listed as an RX580 in systemmonitor, whereas this new 6750XT is listed as either GPU1 or GPU2.
