from Adrian Brown
I am also getting frequent crashes with a Radeon VII on Kubunt=
u 19.10 (kernel
5.0.0-29-generic). I see there is some discussion in this thread about it
possibly being related to multiple monitors. But I don't think that's the c=
ase.
I have a single monitor but it is old with only a dual link DVI connection.=
So
I am using displayport on the GPU but connected to an active adapter to con=
vert
DP to a dual link DVI connection (my monitor is a Dell 3007WFP running at
2560x1600).
I often get crashes soon after boot. They tend to happen in clusters so it
crashes a few times, then stays stable for a short time and then crashes ag=
ain.
I don't get these crashes on the same system when dual booted into Windows =
10
so the hardware itself seems good.=20
One thing worth mentioning is that on Windows 10 I occasionally get a black
screen and the monitor goes off for a couple of seconds. It then comes back=
to
life. Apparently this is not uncommon and the suspicion in the Windows
community is that AMD drivers sometimes crash but Windows recovers (I never=
had
this with my Vega 64, only with the Radeon VII). It most likely is a comple=
tely
different issue of course, but thought it worth mentioning.
Still hoping for a fix at some point. Also happy to help test any fix.
