in some wm in my case it’s Niri during window maximize/minimize or playing videos it cause artifacts that looks like my gpu is dying and that scared the shit out of me, downgrade back to kernel 7.1.5 resolve all the issues. sorry for bad English
I’m on 7.1.6-1 and haven’t noticed any issues (yet), probably because my rx580 is too old to trigger the bug 😅. Anyways, thanks for letting people know. Let some speedy patches come your way!
7.1.6 is a mess with AMD issues. Graphical artifacts, brightness caps on laptops, crashes, etc
Lol ran into both of these
And here’s the Bugzilla issue link, also found in above link:
Your English is perfectly understandable, don’t worry!
Also, elitist Debian smile that is still on 6.12.88
You should probably enable debian-security at least…
They’re on 6.12.101
I thought I had a bad DP cable causing my 1440p monitor to wig out occasionally. Glad I didn’t bother buying a cable for it. I’ll either roll back or wait for the next kernel release.
I was getting worried as I saw some glitched stripes on the plex web player, maybe even on full-screen games for a few milliseconds.
welp, hope we get 7.1.8 soon.
I’ve noticed those few times when watching YT on my Fedora workstation 7.1.7 kernel.
Gaming no issues.
It should be fix on kernel 7.1.8
Ah! I’ve seen a few times some artifacts with my RX 7600 on KDE too, but not on max/min, but randomly. I couldn’t reproduce it, so it is really hard to talk about such subject. As it just recently started (I’m on 7.1.6), I guess this is the same issue. Wondered if this is an issue with KDE or Krohnkite extension or my GPU dying.
So glad it’s “just” a bug in the Kernel. This is just a visual issue right? It doesn’t hurt I hope.
Yeah I saw people also report on KDE forum that they’re also seeing the artifacts as well, if you don’t see it while gaming you should be fine
Can confirm. I am running Niri on Arch and I’ve been seeing these artifacts regularly the past few days. I’ve seen them before with broken amdgpu versions so I wasn’t too worried about them.
For me playing video in Firefox and especially the Steam client seem to cause flickering horizontal stripes of artifacts that look similar to dead VRAM.
No issues while gaming though.
on Arch
Btw

Arch -
7.1.6 -
“the past few days”
Those 3 don’t go together…
Edit: Oh, wow… Scrap that.
I completely missed that the main kernel is still stuck on 7.1.6 as even the RealTime one usually lagging behind is on 7.1.8 already.
That being said I have seen comments about fixes to AMD GPUs in 7.1.8. So how about testing it with that kernel to see it is solved there?

I’m having this issue too, I was worried my monitor/GPU/DP cable was on the fritz or something.
