Description

When DPMS is off on my MSI MAG274QRF-QD, hyprland keeps doing the following logs:

It keeps doing this until the kernel decides to kill swayidle, because it runs out of memory. After which this is printed:

okt 26 23:47:25 NixOS-justin /nix/store/rl9qqy5n41is2dvmnplbfvlaj5dsda44-gdm-44.1/libexec/gdm-wayland-session[338372]: 00:50:46.970 [INFO] [libseat] [libseat/backend/logind.c:382] Disabling seat

At this point my screen turns red as soon as I unlock swaylock, and the only way to recover is to kill hyprland from another tty and then login again through gdm3.

How to reproduce

Use swaylock/swayidle with a MSI monitor

Hyprland config is here: https://github.com/Arroquw/nixos-config/tree/main/home/desktop/hyprland

Swaylock/swayidle configs: https://github.com/Arroquw/nixos-config/tree/main/home/default.nix https://github.com/Arroquw/nixos-config/tree/main/home/pc-i9_9900k-rtx3090/default.nix

Crash reports, logs, images, videos

journalctl gives a constant output of the following:

means swaylock crashed

[awarewen]

switch to tty3, killall swaylock and go back tty1, use keybind to reload swaylock. That is my way. )

https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/3605 same.

manually restarting swaylock blindly in the red screen by opening terminal with keybind and typing swaylock -fF also works

I have a very similar problem but neither of the solutions here work :/

[Atrate]

I found a workaround: after locking the screen, switch to a different TTY (like TTY3) and then turn off the monitors, no red screen ever.

[JanValiska]

Also encountered red screen, but only if I turn off monitor manually, then wait couple of minutes to swyaidle to call dpms off and then turn on manually and do some input(mouse move, keyboard event). IDK if there is something crashing in the background, but I have same red screen symptom.

But for me its even more annoying since I'm unable to switch to ttys and restart hyprland or so... I need to restart by hw restart button.

[TyrHeimdalEVE]

Experiencing this issue too, with hypridle and hyprlock. Samsung display.

Could this be a race condition bug where it does not give the monitor enough time to turn on before setting modes...?

[QuelloLargo83]

Same problem here. Either with swaylock and hyprlock. After some time in locking condition the screen is red and not responding. No solution so far

[anufrievroman]

+1, red screen after locking with either swaylock or hyprlock and putting to sleep. Also, even if I tty into another session and kill hyprlock it doesn't change anything. It actually seems to me that it's more related to suspension rather than locking because during the day I lock many times, and it's okay, but when it suspends overnight, I often find the red screen in the morning. It's a very bothersome bug because you basically never know when your machine won't wake up and can leave any work unfinished.

[Atrate]

I can confirm that switching TTYs stopped working for me recently, but without suspending (desktop PC).

[Atemu]

I have only had this happen on a desktop machine btw. On my laptop with eDP panel, this never happens.

[Atrate]

Update: Now it becomes a black screen with text something alon the lines of "Running on TTY unknown"

[vaxerski]

you can thank broken arch packaging for the black screen, it should have instructions written, normally.

[Atemu]

Could you outline in what way it is broken so that Arch aswell as us other distro folks can ensure our package is correctly packaged?

[vaxerski]

it's been posted on the arch tracker, it does not install assets properly.

[Atrate]

Update: now it does not go into a red or black screen, it just crashes.

[Atrate]

Update: for at least 2-3 weeks, I have not encountered any crashing or red/black screens. My workspaces sometimes get rearranged between the monitors for some reason when turning my displays on, but that's a significant improvement from before.

[vaxerski]

@Arroquw does this still happen?

[justinvson-pd]

I switched to hyprlock/hypridle, doesn't seem to occur then at least. Haven't tried with swaylock/swayidle in a while, but monitor seems to stay off at least.

Same for me.
