Would anyone be able to help me with a Linux problem? For some reason when I am playing games, a random white box will just flash in the top left for a second. Randomly my screen will just flash white when I play games as well. It's getting really annoying! I tried Googling it but can't find anything since it's so vague.
I am using EndeavorOS (so Arch) and a RTX 2080Ti.
Edit: It’s fixed now, thanks everyone!

@fujiwara this sounds like a graphics driver or firmware problem
run
sudo dmesg
after it flashes white, does anything interesting show up? then maybe google that -
@f00fc7c8 I am getting
[ 10.488222] [drm:drm_new_set_master] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00002900] Failed to grab modeset ownershipSo that seems like the likely cause. I am always afraid to mess with GPU drivers in Linux but I will try that later :ChikaDetective2:
-
@fujiwara any interesting error output from running "journalctl -p 3 -xb" in your terminal?
-
@vini Same thing as before :3540_Aqua_cry:
[drm:drm_new_set_master] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00002900] Failed to grab modeset ownership -
@fujiwara Hmmm, have you tried using another Kernel? Like the lts one
-
@vini No I haven't. How do I switch kernels? :ChikaLurk:
-
@fujiwara You can actually have more than one kernel installed in your system. I use the default Arch kernel and the lts as a backup. Try running "sudo pacman -S linux-lts" and rebooting your PC. I think EndeavourOS use as default grub, so it should appear on the list of the grub menu as linux-lts something. If not, it might required another small step.
Give a try! :ChikaSmile:

@fujiwara Does it occur outside of the games? Different kinds of games?

@aarbrk I need to edit my post but I got it fixed by reinstalling the GPU drivers :ChikaDetective2:
