@Anachron,
I should mention that my Linux skill-level is low. I’ve only toyed with Linux here and there, but six months ago, switched to Linux on Framework as my daily driver.
I did take a look at that post, but I don’t see anything on my machine at this location:
/etc/default/grub
So, I thought maybe that was just for Mint.
Take care,
Thomas
Really? That is weird, because Fedora also seems to support grub.
If that file really does not exist, you likey use systemd-boot.
He seems to be using PopOS so adding kernel parameters would be something like this here
So using
sudo kernelstub -a “i915.enable_psr=0”
should do it.
Sorry it’s too early in the morning, I saw the thread title and didn’t read his OS…
Thanks for catching that!
You’re right, PopOS does use kernelstub.
Thanks @mcz and @Anachron for your insight, but it still does it.
I ran
sudo kernelstub -a “i915.enable_psr=0”
in the terminal, it didn’t give me any feedback, so I can’t confirm that it took…
Restarted; still does it. Switched back to X11; still does it.
I tried kernelstub -v to see if I can see if the property is set, but it doesn’t show it in the output.
Take care,
Thomas
All,
After staring at the output for a bit, I do see it there (did I mention that I’m a little bit low-vision)… sorry.
It says this:
Kernel Boot Options:.quiet loglevel=0 systemd.show_status=false splash “i915.enable_psr=0”
Is it supposed to be in quotes like that? None other key/values are.
Thanks,
Thomas
I dont think so, please remove them.
@Anachron and @mcz ,
Well. I don’t want to speak too soon, but so far: so good.
Setting the kernel boot option without the quotes seems to have taken care of the issue.
sudo kernelstub -a i915.enable_psr=0
I’ll continue with my daily driving, do more testing and keep an eye on it.
If it wasn’t for good folks like you in this community, I might’a gave up.
Thank you,
Thomas
Glad to be of service!
If it happens again, feel free to update this thread and give me a ping.
Enjoy your framework!
Happy to have stumbled across this thread by chance—I’ve been noticing some weird freezing and flickering/jittering of late, and I’ve so far had no real luck isolating a specific trigger. I’m not sure if what I’m seeing matches the typical experience here, as I haven’t seen any hard freezes, and I don’t use a DE with Fedora. The problem typically manifests as the following:
Suspending the machine and waking it after a few seconds has resolved the issue in a couple of cases, but there have been other occasions on which a full reboot was necessary.
I don’t have GNOME installed at all (just the Sway window manager), so none of the possible triggers related to GNOME-only features like Night Light apply. I also don’t have any docks or other peripherals connected to my Framework.
I do see a couple—but just a couple!—of these lines in old /var/log/messages logs:
kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 12:0:00000000
It doesn’t appear that there’s a corresponding line of this type for every time this problem has occurred, but it does seem like the i915 chip is fairly notorious for causing problems… the options i915 enable_psr=0 fix seems like it might be the best we get for now (although I know Sway 1.8 has a new wlroots that may help in my case).
Will try adding the fix and seeing if it helps until we have a more permanent fix, but in the meantime, here are my answers to the above questions:
Fedora 36 or 37: 37
12th gen or 11th gen: 12th
Kernel version: Linux 6.0.18-300.fc37.x86_64 x86_64
Gnome version: None (Sway 1.7)
Using i915 fixes, if so, which ones: Not yet
Has this been tried yet and if so, any difference: Not yet
Applications running in foreground or background when freeze occurs: Firefox, Thunderbird, Discord, foot
What if anything is attached to your Framework; docks, (BT, IR, wired) mouse, keyboard: Nothing
I decided to try out Silverblue two weeks ago, this may or may not help us narrow down whatever is causing these issues.

All data same as my earlier post. 1st soft freeze since December 26th. No hard freezes in this time frame.

More convinced than ever that a whole lot of this is on the gnome-shell and mutter.
FYI: New Intel Media Driver dropped on Fedora 37 today. This one should have a bunch of fixes. SO if you are an infrequent updater, today might be a good day to do so 
This is very helpful as the video visually demonstrates what is happening. I’m collecting data, so this is helpful.
Because you’re on Pop OS and may have a unique opportunity here, have you rebooted into “oldkern” to see if this behavior continued there?
Has doing a:
sudo kernelstub -o "quiet splash i915.enable_psr=0"
and reboot change anything for you?
Okay folks, this is where we see what happens! Please update and let me know after installing updates/rebooting, how it goes?
Thanks @Matt_Hartley for the heads up on the Media Driver in today’s update. I’ll update as soon as I finish this message. I usually updates daily.
I have been experiencing the freezing since receiving my 12th gen board. Here are the details to add to your spreadsheet:
Fedora 36 or 37: 37, and updating almost daily
12th gen or 11th gen: 12th gen
Kernel version: 6.1.7-200
Gnome version: 43.2-1 (at least for gnome-shell
Using i915 fixes, if so, which ones: None
Applications running in foreground or background when freeze occurs: I only experience it when I have an external monitor or external projector connected. I also get it when sharing a screen with zoom, but in every instance that I remember I also had an external monitor connected, so can’t confirm that zoom is contributing to the issue. I know I still get it without zoom, most notably when I have the screen in mirror mode and presenting in front of a class. I’ve only ever seen in on the laptop screen, and the mirrored projector does not show the 2-3 second freeze, nor does the Zoom screenshare show the freeze. I have also had a few hard freezes where a forced shutdown was required, which I’m not sure is related to this issue or not, but have no reason to suspect anything else
What if anything is attached to your Framework; docks, (BT, IR, wired) mouse, keyboard: I have had this occur with nothing but power connected on one USB port and a Framework HDMI or DVI port connected monitor. I have experienced it through both HDMI and DVI ports independently. I have also used presenter devices such as Logitech Spotlight, but also experience it without it.
@Matt_Hartley When you said multimedia updates, were you talking about the pipewire updates? If so, I updated them 24 hours ago, and was still experiencing the flickers today. I don’t see anything related to multimedia available at this moment.
Here is what I updated yesterday and the day before, none of which fixed the flicker issues:

Updated yesterday (F37). Package to look out for should be the Intel(R) Media Driver for VAAPI in version 22.5.4.2
Well, that is another bullet to add to Matt’s table. I didn’t have intel-media-driver installed on my machine. I had intel-mediasdk, but I’m not sure there was any value of having that without the driver, or how I missed the driver… I’m guessing that means there is a low likelihood that intel-media-driver played any affect in the flickering.
On a side note, I just taught another 8 hour session with an external monitor connected and sharing a screen with zoom, same as I did yesterday, but today I didn’t have any flicking issues. The only change I had made between sessions was doing the bios update. Since class ended an hours ago, I’ve added intel-media-driver and oneVPL so I’ll test for any flickering issues during tomorrow’s 8 hour class session. And for reference, I have never gone through an 8 hour class session since getting the 12th gen motherboard 6 months ago and not had flickering atleast 50% of the class session. I have also found that using the CTRL key to locate mouse pointer (used to emphasis bullets in slides while teaching) is a great way to case the flicker to occur on demand during that 50% of the time.
The new intel-gpu-firmware just dropped.
