> When this happens, the kernel literally doesn’t allow the compositor to present to the screen anymore, so the screen is completely frozen forever

Yup, that sounds awfully familiar! Also the log reports from that seem quite familiar too, (Gnome/Wayland + 6.12.2 kernel over here). The 7900XTX seems less prone to the issue however so it doesn’t happen to me _too_ terribly often.

I’ve noticed it happens more often when I’m spawning / closing full screen 3d applications such as games, ie when working on mods.

Unfortunately they don’t seem to have a solid plan on how to resolve performing a reliable reset on the driver and the work-arounds don’t seem to reliably work. Guess I’ll just have to be patient and save frequently.

@ProdigalFrog Interesting, also yes. Now if only I could read the bug report to see the details to see if I can resolve it without creating an account on their gitlab instance :/

@harrys_balzac Is it complaining that /media/ext_EXT4_drive isn’t mounting? If your root drive (/) is mounting and you have access to /etc/fstab, you can just edit that file with the new UUID of the drive.

ls -lha /dev/disk/by-uuid/  

To see what the new UUID is, (assuming you know the device path).

@Toes I’m sorry… WOT? Why is a tech reporter and Linux advocate now persona non grata in some Linux-oriented communities?

Clearly I’ve been out of touch.

@makingStuffForFun wow, just realized my build of Insomnia was 2023.5.8, (the exact version before they switched to logins). I’ll have to grab a copy of insomnium. No concern that it may not be actively maintained; it’s just a basic Electron app.

@lorty I feel your pain; I had to switch from Postman to Insomnia because I couldn’t use the local application anymore without creating an account, but even Insomnia is pushing to create an account somewhere.
