Hi.

 

Here is some aditional information.

 

I have a Nvidia Zotac 1080TI mini. With firmware-misc-nonfree installed, system crashes (complete freeze/lockup, no errors on screen) every few minutes/hours, and the only solution is a reset. Without firmware-misc-nonfree, never crashes.

 

The package version of firmware-misc-nonfree is 20210818-1

 

I’m using 4 screens connected to my Nvidia Graphic Card, and I’m with KDE Plasma.

 

Without the package firmware-misc-nonfree installed, the systems throws this errors, but it never crashes:

# journalctl -b | grep firmware

Can you verify whether the issue is fixed with version 20220913-1 ?

Hi.

After further testing with firmware-misc-nonfree 20220913-1 and
firmware-misc-nonfree 20221012-1, the problem still persists the machine
crashes after several minutes or hours.
Without this firmware installed, the machine never crashes, is rock solid!

Would it possible to explain me why would the new version correct the
problem that I'm having with these crashes?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for testing and reporting back.

There were 2 new versions of the firmware then what you reported against and it
could have been that your issue was fixed in the meantime.
Now we know it was not.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/log/nvidia
actually only shows 1 commit in which new firmware was added, thus no update to
existing ones, so if I had checked that before, I could've known.

What remains is reporting this 'upstream' (to nvidia), but I don't know where
that should be done. Hopefully someone else does.

One reason I didn't check is that I never saw the additional information
you did supply, so for completeness sake, I'll quote that below:

Hi.

Installed the new firmware-nonfree 20221214-1 unstable and Debian still
crashes after a few minutes/hours. The machine completely freezes/locks up.
The graphic card is not defective, installed windows to test, played a few
games, and had no issue in windows (I hate windows). Tried with Linux Mint
with proprietary drivers, and no issues, works flawless, no crashes or
issues in games with wine and games with a virtual machine.
This is a SERIOUS problem and after a few months, the issue is not solved.

Regards
Rui Dinis

If the firmware files are also installed on Linux Mint, then the issue is likely
with the nouveau drivers. Debian does have a nvidia-graphics-drivers source
package, so maybe an appropriate version of that may help?

In any case, when crashes happen, it REALLY helps if f.e. `dmesg` output is
shared which shows the crash.

People like me spend their FREE time trying to help you with YOUR problem.
If you're not getting your money's worth, get a SLA. And pay for that.
IOW: drop the attitude
