Description

Hyprland crashes when launched with 6.11 linux kernel, booting back into 6.10 kernel allows hyprland to launch again.

How to reproduce

Update to the latest linux kernel and try to launch hyprland.

Crash reports, logs, images, videos

hyprlandCrashReport237.txt

[ikalco]

try on git and if doesnt work then give a debug log of git with AQ_TRACE=1 HYPRLAND_TRACE=1 Hyprland

[Romaixn]

I have the same bug, after updating can't login in my session anymore (in another DE it's work)

[DADA30000]

what do you mean 6.11, I've heard about 6.10 only recently 💀

[romanstingler]

@DADA30000 just look at the log
Release: 6.11.0-0.rc0.20240719git720261cfc732.7.fc41.x86_64
There are people out there to test software as soon as possible to catch bugs, so that normal folks isn't suffering too much

[srikarboga]

try on git and if doesnt work then give a debug log of git with AQ_TRACE=1 HYPRLAND_TRACE=1 Hyprland

hyprland-git package does not crash but launches with artifacting issues.

[srikarboga]

Neither, moving the mouse completely lags and shows random white dots where the mouse path would be and then a second later the mouse properly appears in the spot where it was moved to. If I move the mouse very quickly back and forth there is a lot of white and black dots where the mouse path would be and then after I stop moving it gets fixed after a second. I've attached a recording of the issue from my phone.

[ikalco]

uuuuh can you try on 6.10 to make sure it isnt the kernel
if it still happens then post a video with debug:damage_blink (btw dont if epilepsy) set to true
and also the hyprland.log

[srikarboga]

Both hyprland and hyprland-git work fine on 6.10, just checked.

[ikalco]

its probably a kernel bug then
i would keep this issue open until 6.11 is mainline and recheck then, just in case

[vaxerski]

as long as the kernel is not mainline, and it doesnt happen to many people, I'd consider this a non-issue

[romanstingler]

are you using by any chance the 560 nvidia driver?
this one is currently toast

[romanstingler]

today is my last day of the business trip, I can test in the evening CEST, I am already on 6.11 but on
Tag: v0.41.2-48-gf642fb97, commits: 4934
for now

[romanstingler]

I just came home, recompiled aquamarine-git, hyprutils-git and hyprland-git from AUR
and I can start hyprland with 6.11 and executing hyprland from the tty.
Your logs seem to have an issue with the detection of your gpu driver / gpu, can you try to use your cpu internal GPU if you have any?

maybe related to #6053 ?

Closing , I stopped using the 6.11 kernel so I cant test the issue anymore.

[adminy]

It doesn't help that nixos decided that the latest kernel is 6.11.1 so imagine my surprise that a normal kernel update with no code change breaks hyprland, apps don't auto start and its just laggy as hell. at first I thought it was my nvidia drivers, but no, they seemed fine because I have a spare window manager to test this stuff.

I have no idea why this kernel update breaks hyprland, but I'd really love a warning somewhere in some rss feed I can read. Because This stuff makes me question everything ... and its scary. hardcoding the kernel version fixes the issue. I couldn't find any logs either that would indicate there was a problem.

I'll try AQ_TRACE=1 HYPRLAND_TRACE=1

Update:

Here is all logs that have hypr in them:
https://logpaste.com/zTfvGyDz
I hope it helps.

[ding444]

I upgraded to 6.11.1 last night with pacman and ran into this same issue. I downgraded to 6.10 and everything is working as expected.

[ding444]

FWIW upgrading to 6.11.2 works great and solved my problem.

[Daholli]

just tested it with 6.11.2 on nix (with nividia) and it is unusable, the whole interface is very slow

config for reference is pinned on the profile

[IronhandedLayman]

I also just tested with 6.11.5 and I get the same as above, really laggy screen, completely unusable. This gained some urgency since 6.10 in nix is EOL'd.

[IronhandedLayman]

After further testing, it works on current xanmod version available under nixpkgs. So... works for 6.6.58-xanmod1, works for 6.10.4, does not work for 6.11.5. It may be an Nvidia issue as well, as I read that there are some incompatibilities between the 6.11 kernel and Nvidia drivers...

[adminy]

error: linux 6.10 was removed because it has reached its end of life upstream

Okay. Looks like I'm out of options ...

I'm not sure that it is an nvidia problem @IronhandedLayman as it seems to work with other window managers.

Should this issue be re-opened @vaxerski , @fufexan ?

[Daholli]

https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/drm-fbdev-wayland-presentation-support-with-linux-kernel-6-11-and-above/307920/16

Will look through this after work and see if I can come up with a solution, maybe we need to provide a fix for hyprland or I can provide a nix specific fix

NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules#692

[Daholli]

Used my lunchbreak for this:

    boot.kernelParams = [
      "nvidia_drm.fbdev=1"

      # TODO: remove after https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/pull/692
      # and similar are merged and build in nixpkgs-unstable.
      # WARNING: this disables tty output and thus hides boot logs.
      "initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init"
    ];

please set up kde until you have everthing running (or keep enough older generations around, since this makes it so you cannot recover using the tty afaik)

credits to @timon-schelling

also for some reason I have two possible hyprland sessions in sddm, and only one of them works... not sure if that is something I messed up

[vaxerski]

Should this issue be re-opened vaxerski , fufexan ?

No. Kernel policy is to NEVER break userspace. If a kernel update breaks Hyprland, it's not our fault. It's either you're using a weird ass kernel, a faulty kernel update that should be fixed soon, or your drivers broke (wait for an update)

[piyoki]

I also just tested with 6.11.5 and I get the same as above, really laggy screen, completely unusable. This gained some urgency since 6.10 in nix is EOL'd.

I am experiencing the same issue. This happened since kernel 6.11.3. Rolling back to 6.10.10 works fine.

[IronhandedLayman]

Thanks to @Daholli as those kernel params have allowed me to run on 6.11 without issue. I would be surprised if the same settings would not work on other OSes outside of NixOS.
