Hello. I have a major issue that happens very rarely, but when it happens, it's extremely annoying and basically prevents me from using my desktop until I reboot (freaking).
Sometimes (completely random) the display freezes for exactly 10 seconds, and then it works again for 20-100ms. Then it freezes again, and so on. After every unfreeze, a DCE ring timeout (I think) message is output to dmesg, and there is a 15% chance of display corruption.
Last time I got this problem was when:
1. I turned on my computer.
2. I did nothing for 4 hours.
3. I was experimenting with a program, but due to some bugs it munched memory by appending characters to a C++ string (which caused the display to freeze very shortly at random intervals).
4. I then began compiling Mesen, and 1 minute during the linking stage, this bug happened.
Killing the compositor fixes the issue, but then reopening it will cause the freezes to resume.
The only way to fix it is a reboot, but that's no true fix as I lose all my work.
I may take very long to respond since this issue doesn't occur often.
Computer specs:
(sorry. I will post Mesa version later)
(by the way, is it possible to block a specific user from my thread?)
