Hello everyone,
I recently upgraded to the AMD framework and I’m loving it so far but I’ve been having some issues. While I was running my framework the other day the framerate dropped to like 1 FPS and my mouse cursor started lagging badly. I tried checking the logs and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Also, when I enabled the night light feature in GNOME, the white content on the display will begin glowing bright for whatever reason and it lasted through multiple restarts before just disappearing entirely. Lastly, when my laptop automatically goes to sleep, I can’t wake it up with the keyboard and can only wake it up with the touchpad but there’s a delay. This didn’t happen with my 12th gen framework but with my AMD framework it’s common. I suspect all of these issues are related to software so I’m hoping someone can help me find a fix.
Did you perform a complete system reinstall when upgrading to the AMD board? If not, it is possible that there are leftover drivers from the previous mainboard that are conflicting. You can try checking for them and uninstalling them.
If you want to see if the issue is a driver issue, you can also try running off of a live USB.
I did a clean install with a new SSD, and while I was using the live USB, no issues occurred. But, I only used it for a short amount of time so there’s that.
The issue has not occurred since :)) however I wanted to mention something…
@Loell_Framework There seems to be a bug in GNOME that causes the laptop to not go to sleep when I close the lid but when using KDE (which I switched to) the bug does not occur. Furthermore, my overall experience with vanilla (very little customization applied) Fedora KDE has been more stable than my experience with vanilla GNOME.
UPDATE! The issue resurfaced multiple times and I decided to return the AMD mainboard and keep my 12th gen mainboard. At this point, all my issues with my 12th gen mainboard have essentially been fixed as they were all software/(possibly)firmware related.
This just happened to me too and I found this thread in a Google search. All of a sudden during normal usage, the display dropped to very low framerate (~1 FPS).
Neither the system logs nor amdgpu_top showed anything out of the ordinary. I tried temporarily changing my display setting refresh rate to 48Hz (from 60Hz) and it made no difference. The only thing I didn’t try is sleeping and resuming, because I was worried about the screen staying black on resume (it has happened on occasion)
I am also running BIOS 3.05 and vanilla GNOME, but Linux 6.11.10 on Debian Bookworm with backports. This is the first time it has happened to me after using this laptop for over a year, so I’m not sure how to reproduce…
Same issue for me but with Ubuntu 24.04 on AMD. Started about a month ago. No issues prior to this. I have to restart. Seems to occur while watching youtube videos. I suspect a GPU issue.
I found this topic while investigating the problem online, as @Eloston
Hardware : AMD Framework 13
Kernel : 6.12.6-arch1-1
DE : GNOME 47.2
For some months now the screen framerate will randomly (power plugged and unplugged, with devices and without any device, using the network or offline… i saw no pattern there) start degrading very fast : at first some frame will drop, then dropping to 1-2 FPS, all in 3 seconds maximum.
Besides, everything still work the same, the sound works, all processes work as intented etc.
I tried shutting down the gdm (gnome) service, killing almost all processes and it didn’t fix the issue, I must add that htop reveals, only when the issue appears, a 100% usage of a core (never the same) in red, which indicate “Kernel threads”.
I did not upgrade the BIOS yet as I was waiting for a fix in the linux kernel/amd driver, but i might try to upgrade the BIOS.
If you have any idea of test to perform while the issue is happening let me know i’ll gladly try it.
Did you guys ever find a fix for this? Pretty much every time I try to use my Framework 13 after a few minutes it becomes unusable. I bought this to use for class and currently I can’t do anything on it… I had no issues the first couple weeks but now I’m a few days outside the return window and it’s basically a fancy paperweight…
To everyone subscribed to this thread at the moment,
I’m pretty certain my issue has nothing to do with the issues you all are dealing with. The 6.12 series of kernels seem to possess many issues that particular affect amd users. If you had less issues in older kernel versions, I recommend downgrading the kernel to said version. Or, if you’re fine with Ubuntu, Ubuntu 24.04 likely doesn’t have the same issues since it’s based off kernel 6.8 (however, it will be updated to version 6.11 in February).
Wondering if this is a distro-related issue. Running Mint 22.1 (base is Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) on Framework 13 AMD for around one week, with XanMod kernel 6.12 - no such glitches as described in this thread. Maybe, because of this.
There was a recent bug with the amdgpu driver with powersaving, so after a suspend and resume the screen went crazy. Introduced in 6.12.4, fixed in 6.13 and the fix was backported to 6.12.10.
My Framework AMD often declines to complete POST with a sequence of color LED flashes when attached external monitor or TypeC dock, but that’s another story.
