I apologize if the name callout is disconcerting. I was trying to follow instructions for sending bugs and saw your name listed as the owner of this code area. 

FYI, I'd done some more troubleshooting and tinkering regarding the crashing and Mate seems to be at the center of all the issues. As a result, I also opened an Issue with the Mate Desktop team (https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-panel/issues/1242). Mate also has a power management component, which is probably responsible for the excess logging and the confusion over Navil10. However, I have no way to vouch for now accurately the Mate PM applet gathered data for its instantiation. I have no external devices connected that I'm aware would use it since I thought that was via HDMI. I *do* have a Jabra Evolve2 headset that uses the TypeC USB connector, but I assume that's not using the GPU.

The issue documentation I left with Mate notes that if I launch apps from a terminal that is NOT launched from the Mate panel (right-click on desktop instead to open terminal), the parent for all the apps (Firefox, Evolution, etc.) is separate from Mate (at least separate from mate-panel). Everything has worked fine (except for the constant logging of the wake-up action) since I've done that (and turned off the screensaver and screensaver lock). So, I'm not sure what else to do at this point. Please advise if I should do anything on the driver side.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Felix,

I'm not sure why you're calling me out by name. I'm not working on

anything obviously related to your crashes.

Anyway, I took a quick look at the backtraces. They all point at libgdk.

Two of them are segfaults, one is an abort. It's not clear how these

would be related to the GPU driver. That said, when you boot with

nomodeset, the GPU driver and all HW acceleration is completely

disabled. If that makes the problem disappear, the GPU driver is clearly

involved in the problem in some way.

The abort points at a problem while freeing memory. This could be caused

by a double-free problem in some unrelated code, possibly related to the

GPU driver. This would be a problem in a user mode component (maybe

Mesa), not the kernel mode driver.

I believe the messages you're seeing when you move the mouse are the

result of runtime power management that puts the GPU to sleep when it's

idle and reinitializes it when it's needed. You have 2 GPUs in your

laptop, an integrated Renoir GPU in the Ryzen CPU, and an external

Navi10 GPU for higher gaming performance. The GPU that goes to sleep and

wakes up is the external Navi10 GPU.

The OpenGL renderer string specifies "RENOIR". Therefore I'm surprised

that the Navi10 GPU wakes up when you move the mouse. Ideally it

shouldn't be used at all when you're just using the desktop.

If you suspect that runtime power management is responsible for your

problems, you could disable it with amdgpu.runpm=0 on the kernel command

line. That means the Navi10 GPU won't go into the low power mode and

drain your battery more quickly. So this is not a permanent solution.

Just an experiment to narrow down the problem.

Regards,

  Felix

I'm not sure how to do this as I haven't had to report a bug before.

I've looked to a variety of bug reporting sites to see if anyone else

is running into the same issues that I'm having (such as the Mate

project) and haven't seen anything at all similar to the issue I'm

having. Since I had issues with AMD drivers with my distro (info

below) and some consistent and high volume dmesg content shows up,

I've decided that I should start here with the AMD kernel team.

I have a fairly new MSI laptop with the following configuration:

If I am using it interactively, I get random crashes that seems to hit

elements of mate (mate-panel, etc.) 

consistently - just not predictably. LibreOffice applications, xed,

Firefox, and Evolution seem to be more prone

to crashing the X session. I can easily move to tty1, login, and kill

services running in tty7 as the crashes

don't appear to completely kill tty7. Sometimes, I can kill mate and

launch a new instance to salvage

the tty7 session. However, i usually end up having to kill the root

pid of the xwindows session in order

to re-login. But I think this is related to the AMD GPU driver because

every  time I simply move the mouse in 

tty7 session, I get the following in dmesg:

If I boot with nomodeset, I can operate fine - just without screen

brightness control, etc. It just

seems strange that an event is generated like this all the time.

I only get sporadic crashes, though. Humorously, I've been running

only Firefox, crash reporter and

Mate Terminal this morning and it's run fine for over 4 hours. There

were times when I wouldn't run

anything at all and it's lock up on me. So I just can't find any

common denominator for this (using vi 

in terminal to type this - going to copy-paste into email client

[Evolution] once I'm done this).

I've attached 3 crash reports that were captured on the system over

the last couple days. I apologize

in advance - profusely! - if the problem turns out to be somewhere else. 

Thanks,

Tim
