Framework 13
Linux Mint 22.3 64-bit Cinnamon 6.6.7
CPU: AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370
kernel: 6.17.0-20-generic
It keeps crashing on me after ~4 min of use of keys or mouse buttons.
When it freezes, I can still move the mouse but just not interact with anything.
When I run a crash report this is what I get:
kernel: RDSEED32 is broken. Disabling the corresponding CUID bit. kernel: ucsi_acpi USBCO00: 00: unknown error 256
kernel: ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: unknown error 256
bluetoothd[909]: profiles/sap/server.c:sap_server_register() Sap driver initialization failed. bluetoothd[909]: sap-server: Operation not permitted (1) lightdm[1435]: gkr-pam: couldn’t unlock the login keyring.

If I install Linux mint, AND DON’T update the iOS, then this problem doesn’t show up. So it’s in the update.
I’ve seen this “RDSEED32 is broken” on other threads but it doesn’t seem to be on my configuration.
I thought this would be patched by now.
Any thoughts?
Enable Wayland. This sounds like Xorg issue tied to it’s vblank handling.
You can also try to turn off PSR which will reduce some of the behavior that happens with vblank handling.
There is a kernel patch I can point you at that would potentially help as well if you want to rebuild your kernel.
Thanks for these leads. I’ll start with these two. And yes, if you could point me at the kernel info I’ll start looking at it, and if I need to rebuild my kernel, I will, but I’m bummed that this is somehow an unknown, unpatched issue.
I figured that Linux Mint is big enough and that this chip said has been out for a bit. This wouldn’t be an issue.
Any thoughts on why this hasn’t been patched?
Should I submit an issue to AMD?
Xorg is dated technology not getting work. So deficiencies in it won’t be fixed.
This is the patch I’m talking about. It changes how vblank works that tends to help for what Xorg does according to some people.

I’ve been using this mitigation since I got my Framework 13 and it’s pretty much eliminated any freezing with a Ryzen AI 5 340.
I finally got fed up with an unreadable error coming up on startup and now I see it’s “RDSEED32 is broken” so while I don’t know how to fix that, I’m not as concerned anymore now that I can read it before it disappears.
Thanks, I was able to dig through this and it helped out.
I’m still trying to run to ground the RDSEED32 error, which I now understand is a different issue. I saw you were helping on that thread too. Thanks.
Yep this is where Mario’s link led me to, the AMDGPU issues.
I like this Clem’s instructions you have linked here. It worked perfectly for me.
