Hello @Smoukus, Steam shouldn't be doing anything special here and this issue should also be reported to your video driver vendor.
Hello @Smoukus, Steam shouldn't be doing anything special here and this issue should also be reported to your video driver vendor.
Hey @kisak-valve, I've created an issue on mesa as well. Was told to make an issue here as well just in case that it had something to do with Steam.
If you think that this issue has nothing to do with Steam directly, feel free to close the issue.
UPDATE: with the current mesa-git commit that I'm on (883f18f7), it doesnt crash the GPU anymore.
Closing per the last comment.
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
When I want to gather my System Information in Steam via
Help -> System Information, I get black screen on both of my monitors. After few seconds the screen comes back, however I am unable to use my mouse and keyboard then.After the screen reappears, it will go black once again, recover again, but mouse and keyboard are still unusable.
The only option is to hard reboot/shutdown the PC.
I ran the following command in order to figure out what has happened:
sudo journalctl -o short-precise -k -b -1I've found some interesting things that probably point out to that hang, however I don't understand much.
Here is the gist of those lines from the log: https://gist.github.com/Smoukus/f31f878c75f0adce978e93b1eb39bb76
