Graphics card not available

Framework Laptop 16 Linux

I did just confirm that I do have that issue.

Did you build the patched kernel from source?

82

Yes, following these instructions:

I figured as much :slight_smile: I did that a while back to test a d3cold issue.

Since mine is only messing up when booting from battery, Ill wait :slight_smile:

Currently installing a single node openshift environment and don’t feel like messing w/the kernel today lol

Throwing my hat in the ring since this issue literally just happened to me.

System

  • AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS
  • 32GB Crucial DDR5 (from Framework)
  • 2TB WD SN770 (from Framework)
  • AMD Radeon RX 7700S
  • Fedora 42 (kernel 6.14.2-300.fc42.x86_64)

Strangely, I’ve mostly had this problem when waking from sleep, but this time was different. I was gaming on battery using the 7700S (MangoHud showed it as active) and when I closed the lid after plugging in my monitor, the dGPU disappeared from Mission Center. FastFetch shows the dGPU though.

I’m still fairly new to Linux troubleshooting, so I’d be happy to help if guided.

So since the following update the graphics card seems to be active for some time now, I have nvtop open all the time and even after the supsend it is still active.

fedora:fedora/42/x86_64/silverblue
                  Version: 42.20250417.0 (2025-04-17T17:29:03Z)
               BaseCommit: b6784a601685fd9f89e667f29676f6a6da9c7721becc921b5239a77f4331b196

nvtop keeps the gpu awake and will prevent it from sleeping

87

Yes, the problem is rather that the graphics card would have to be usable first and I only have that at every hundredth start or even less often :cry:

88

Ah. Yeah, I haven’t had the courage to update my Fedora yet, which is a real shame.

89

That there is no way to hard wake up the graphics card, but I haven’t found anything yet. A console command would be enough for me.

I had the same problem on Fedora 41/42. Installing Kernel 6.12 from this COPR solved the problem for me. I had to disable Secure-Boot as well to boot this kernel.

91

Reliable with sleep and multiple reboots?

I have tried all the kernels listed here and none of them could reliably run the graphics card.

92

Not sure what you mean with multiple reboots, but yes, it wakes up fast and reliable from sleep (so far).

93

That the graphics card is also available every time the notebook is started.

Shortly after a kernel update it often works after 1-4 starts, but then it is always gone for me.

94

Seems very stable to me. I had no issues after reboots or waking from suspends after installing the LTS Kernel on Fedora 42, even when switching from docked to undocked while asleep.
