GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 747154
Gnome shell 3.16 freezes for minutes on X11 (not with wayland)
Last modified: 2021-07-05 14:21:33 UTC
Recently updated to 3.16 on an PC running arch linux and the gnome shell hangs for several minutes periodical (at least once / hr), when I log in using x11. The desktop does not crash, but is unusable. After waiting a few minutes ~3-4? I can continue using the desktop. I'm on kernel 3.19 using and the nouveau 1.0.11-3 video driver for a GF119 [GeForce GT 610] graphics card. Interesting I do not see hangs when I log in using wayland (delighted that wayland + gnome is very usable).
Check journalctl after this happens

Attaching journalctl output after gnome 3.16 freeze. Freeze happened @ ~ 23:06
(In reply to Graham from comment #2) > journalctl output after gnome 3.16 freeze > Apr 01 23:06:58 CQ5110F gnome-session[1686]: nouveau: kernel rejected pushbuf: Invalid argument Looks like a driver issue and the messages are very similar to bug 747115 so duping. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 747115 ***
I'm finding similar but less frequent hangs with the close source nvidvia 346.47-11 driver also. Attaching journalctl log from last boot.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
