SUMMARY
Since moving to KDE 6 (on Bazzite 40) I am getting random video crashes. I would say 8 out of 10 times I use my computer I have to hard power off due to a crash. It has various manifestations - sudden black screen, screen frozen, screen responsive but mouse pointer has gone haywire and no abillity to reboot. 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Boot into Bazzite 40 
2. Use the computer
3. desktop graphics stops working

OBSERVED RESULT
sudden black screen, screen frozen, screen responsive but mouse pointer has gone haywire and no abillity to reboot. 


EXPECTED RESULT
I can use the desktop without a random lockup

The second log file uploaded is from 5 minutes ago. The cursor started to go crazy on the screen (tails of cursor icons, flashing) and then Ptyxis errored out when trying to start. I went to restart. Pulled up the action menu, clicked on restart, and everything froze. Had to do a hard shutdown

Comment 3 Vlad Zahorodnii 2024-09-27 08:28:34 UTC 
It appears that the nvidia gpu is being used and the nvidia driver crashes. Can you report this issue to nvidia developers, there's not a lot that we can do about it?
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2024-09-27 14:01:05 UTC 
…Specifically, by sending an email to linux-bugs@nvidia.com or making a post at https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/c/gpu-graphics/linux. It would be helpful to the NVIDIA developers if you could run nvidia-bug-report.sh and attach the resulting file in your report. Thanks!
