Bug#904880: Input devices crash often on KDE Plasma in Debian stretch on AMD Ryzen 7
Package: xserver-xorg
Severity: grave
Dear package-maintainers! I identified the following problem on my
Debian stretch system:
My hardware configuration is a recent AMD Ryzen 7 chipset with amd64
Debian stretch installed. I have a NVIDIA type GeForce GT 710 graphics
card which i am using with the NVIDIA driver. With the nouveau driver it
was not working in a stable way. I used to use GNOME and it was working
satisfactorily, but then i had a complete system fail, which made me
reinstall everything onto a KDE Plasma desktop. Now, the input devices
crash regularly. Mostly, when i am letting the computer doze awake it
happens after some time. Also sometimes after wakeup from standby it
happens after some minutes. In GNOME my input devices were not crashing
till the complete system fail. I also introduced shortly before the
complete system fail a powerline network adapter to increase the speed
of my home network. Otherwise, i cannot imagine what else could have
contributed to the current situation of my input devices hanging
themselves often. Other than the input devices no threads seem to be
concerned. The system continues to run, but of course i cannot interact
with it anymore by keyboard or mouse and i have to restart.
Furthermore i tried to file the bug report with the Debian bug reporting
tool under KDE Plasma and it failed to start even for configuration.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Many greetings, Thomas Korimort.
