The problem is this, when i’m playing these two games in particular, after 15 or 20 minutes the wi-fi completely disappear, no wi-fis being displayed and if i try to turn off and back on it freezes until i wait a couple of seconds for it to unfreeze. The heck is this? I’m using kde manjaro
Use
lsmod
to show me all loaded kernel modules. Additionally you could dump the journalctl.With
journalctl --list-boots
you can see all boots with the number on the left and usejournalctl -b 1
to see the journal of that.To dump the journal into a file use
journalctl -b 1 > myJournalLog.txt
What
I want to get more informarion about the problem. Just saying what the symptom is, won’t magically make someone be able to answer your problem, except, someone with the exact symptoms knows the solution and already made experience.
All you need to do is open up any Terminal (open the application “gnome-terminal”, “konsole” or pressing CTRL+ALT+F2 or any other F button with CTRL+ALt makes you switch to a TTY which is also a terminal) and type in the commands I gave you, I always marked them in a code-block. The only thing you need to do is send the result of them as a reply here.
Write
lsmod
and send its output as a reply here. This command shows me all loaded kernel modules which helps me identify which wifi driver is loaded.journalctl
could help find more details but may be unncessary, also its harder to reply with a journalctl log so don’t do this if you don’t want to.I also need to know which Wifi device you have (I forgot to ask this). I guess typing in
lspci
and sending that result as a reply should be enough. If you’re using a Wifi dongle then typelsusb
instead. lspci shows you all PCI devices attached to your mainboard while lsusb shows all USB devices attached to your PC. Alternatively you could name the Wifi Device if you already know what you have.__Module Size Used by nvidia_uvm 3276800 0 ccm 20480 6 rfcomm 90112 16 nvidia_drm 81920 19 nvidia_modeset 1519616 17

i sent the output in the message but here is kinda a mess so please you may try to paste it into a document first to get it right
I see r8169 as module driver loaded, I had this driver crash on my Realtek LAN Port.
I don’t know what Wifi module you have, maybe its still the right driver.
I also remember you can install from Flatpak “Linux Driver Probe” https://linux-hardware.org/?view=howto
It will tell you what PC components you have and what drivers are perfectly installed or may be better, or which are missing and its telling you what package or driver you would need. Very userfriendly.
As you use manjaro, just type in Pamac (your software center app) “Linux Driver Probe” or “Hardware Probe”
Its a GUI and a command, so don’t get confused by the Link I send to you.
Thanks, i’ll install it as soon as i find a new distro to use. Thinking about Debian
If you still like new packages and Arch Linux, you can use EndavourOS. Manjaro is way too weird.
Debian has more “frozen packages” which may still be a good and stable option but as soon as you want the newest packages like GPU drivers and etc then you may encounter issues because debian would probably have a bit older ones. But I guess you can add package repos to get newest things from GPU drivers, not entirely into it.
Best thing, distrohop and try various things out that fit your personality or taste
