Laptop freeze after Steam running

#1

When I run Steam on my laptop it’s freeze after 5 seconds. Only hard reboot helps to run laptop again

  1. Open the application called ‘Terminal’
  2. Copy and paste this command into the Terminal application:
flatpak kill com.valvesoftware.Steam
flatpak update --appstream && flatpak update -y
eos-updater-ctl update
flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam --reset
flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam

Can you please do:

  1. Open Steam and wait until the freeze
  2. Open the console by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1, then log in with your user
  3. Run eos-diagnostics
  4. Upload the resulting file here after you rebootet your PC with reboot

If you are unable to open a console with step (2) after the freeze:

Open a Terminal and type:

journalctl -f

Then run Steam and watch the output in the Terminal. Make a Photo of this window as soon as the freeze kicks in and upload it here.

There went something wrong :slight_smile: You need to attach the file in this thread, it’s located in your Home Directory and named eos-diagnostic-XXXXX.txt

by the way I couldn’t reproduce those advices

  1. Open the console by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1, then log in with your user
    didn’t work
    If you are unable to open a console with step (2) after the freeze:

Open a Terminal and type:

journalctl -f

it was a “steam login pop up” covered most part of terminal window
and it freezed during password entering so I couldn’t get the screenshot or photo right

I have a guess:

With the latest update, there is a issue with the Nvidia Driver when SecureBoot is enabled - which is in your case. Follow the instructions over in the linked thread to disable secureboot as a temporary solution to get your nvidia graphics card working until the fix gets released.
