--- Begin Message ---Package: gdm3 Version: 3.38.2.1-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Playing SuperTuxKart 1.4 * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? sorry happen on random track in random situation, but each time for a race * What was the outcome of this action? GDM fill the disk with millions of same error lines. The error is this: /usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[n]: amdgpu: amdgpu_cs_query_fence_status failed and is written at the end of the following three files: /var/log/syslog /var/log/messages /var/log/user.log I keep root partitions with 100 GB free space, when the error is triggered, the three files grown to 33 GB each, when the root is full, STK freeze, GDM crash, CTRL+ALT+Fx won't work, I had to remotely connect via SSH and remove user.log to free minumum space. Then manually remove those repeated error lines * What outcome did you expect instead? GDM write the error once to avoid saturate the root partition Other notes: CPU / Graphics card: MB: Asus TUF Gaming A520M-Plus CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G box (/proc/cpuinfo: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics) RAM: DDR4 Kingston Fury Beast 3200MHz 2x8GB SSD: NVME ADATA GAMMIX S11P 512GB Gen3 Supply: ADJ 700W Monitor Yashi Pioneers YZ2407 @1920x1080 Further details at: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues/829 In Synaptic, force version, 3.38 is the only available.
