When everything closes, are you sure that's the lock screen and not the login screen? It sounds like cinnamon is crashing, which means you're automatically switched back to the display manager (login screen). This can sometimes show the boot logo while it's switching, happens on my laptop as well, noy sure why that is. If it is crashing, you might find the cause in the logs, run
journalctl -e
anddmesg
to check for errorsyeah you're correct, it is the login screen and not the lock screen. it just happened again while I was leaving my laptop running and playing music. I'll run those commands in a little bit, otherwise occupied atm
I checked the logs. I really don't know how to use
journalctl -e
at all, so I'm just going to mention what I found ondmesg
. It reported a number of errors, though they were mostly the same. This one came up pretty often:[drm:link_enc_cfg_validate [amdgpu]] *ERROR* link_enc_cfg_validate: Invalid link encoder assignments - 0x1c
and these two come up a number of times, always together:
[drm:amdgpu_job_timedout [amdgpu]] *ERROR* ring sdma0 timeout, signaled seq=13767, emitted seq=13769
[drm:amdgpu_job_timedout [amdgpu]] *ERROR* Process information: process pid 0 thread pid 0
I got an error for the bluetooth a couple times too:
Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to read codec capabilities (-22)
, and this other one only came up once iirc:hub 6-0:1.0: config failed, hub doesn't have any ports! (err -19)
I don't think the hub or the bluetooth errors have anything to do with the crashes, so I looked up the first error, the invalid encoder assignment one, and found this thread from a few days ago, though it doesn't seem to have any solid answers other than rolling back to an older linux. Most recent post seems to be from 2 hours ago lol, I guess this is a really new issue?
