[OpenRC / Linux Kernel 6.1+] X11 is crashing after suspend.

13 March 2023, 10:11:30

Heyo,

I have a little issue with my Xfce / X11. After the suspend, it crashes & showing a weird backtrace log <log in the attachments>.

I have no idea, how to fix. I've tried looking for a solution, but mostly those was referring to Nvidia drivers.

Very hard to troubleshoot and fix, save for trying a different kernel version or/and nvidia driver.

According to your log file, I suspect the error is related to elogind. Actually I'm facing possible system hangs with linux 6.1 or above, after I logout to an Xorg session.

After session 1 was removed in the above log, everything works fine, while after session2 was removed, system hung. I tried to switch to seatd-openrc which should take over elogind-openrc, but elogind-daemon also runs and creates sessions.

Just realized that the lastest elogind was released several years ago, so there is no wonder that it does not work with newer kernels.
