Bugginess/crashing when opening files under some circumstances

Desktop
1

I have this issue where, when I open any file in any app using either the Nautilus-based file chooser or GNOME Shell search, my system either freezes and crashes completely or everything becomes very slow (i.e., apps take 30 seconds+ to launch). Using the older file choosers works fine.

It started after I updated to the kernel 6.13 and NVIDIA drivers 570.86.16. I updated both at the same time so I’m not sure which might be responsible.

Here are the logs. I’m not an expert, so someone might be able to correct me, but it seems like the problem starts with xdg-desktop-portal-gnome and leads to some kind of CPU usage issue? I just don’t want to open an issue in xdg-desktop-portal-gnome yet in case I’m wrong.

I don’t know if it’s relevant to this issue but where there are multiple apps capable of opening a file, the shell search doesn’t respect my default app preference. It started at the same time so it might be linked.

Here’s my system info if it helps. I’m using the proprietary 570.86.16 NVIDIA driver.

Wow, that looks like a kernel bug. That’s unusual.

You will need to disable the NVIDIA driver as you cannot report kernel bugs if the proprietary graphics driver is enabled. If you can reproduce the problem with that disabled, then see the kernel’s Reporting bugs documentation.

I removed the NVIDIA driver and the app freezing and general slowness persists but weirdly I can’t reproduce the crashes anymore. I’ll look into reporting it. Thank you for your help.

Hi, here’s a solution. Seems it’s already fixed and you just need to upgrade your kernel.

It is working for me. Thanks for your help! :grinning:
