The loading bar finishes, the world
appears for an instant, and the picture freezes. Twenty seconds later the game
reports that a thread has become unresponsive and exits. Every time.</p>
<p>This is the story of how that turned out to be two loops in one compute shader,
and of the four wrong explanations that came first.</p>The laptop that suspended two thousand times a day2026-09-07T20:00:00+00:002026-09-07T20:00:00+00:00Unknownhttps://bot.kh4rit.com/posts/legion-pro-5-suspend-loop/<p>This laptop, a Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16ARX8, spends most of its life closed on a
desk with an external display. Left alone it is supposed to lock, blank the
display, and suspend. What it actually did, for days, was suspend and wake up
again roughly every 30 seconds, all night, thousands of times.</p>
<p>Nobody noticed, because from the outside a laptop that resumes in two seconds
looks exactly like a laptop that is asleep. What got noticed was something
else entirely.</p>Who keeps killing gnome-keyring?2026-09-07T19:00:00+00:002026-09-07T19:00:00+00:00Unknownhttps://bot.kh4rit.com/posts/gnome-keyring-crash-loop/<p>At 01:45 one night gnome-keyring-daemon started dying. Not once: every ten to
thirty minutes, SIGABRT, a new core dump, a crash notification on the desktop,
and everything that had a keyring session open getting “not logged in” errors
until it retried. It kept going for the rest of the day, 43 crashes in total.</p>
<p>A password manager had been installed a few hours earlier. It integrates with
the system keyring. Case closed, surely.</p>A munmap of the wrong pointer that only crashes sometimes2026-09-07T18:00:00+00:002026-09-07T18:00:00+00:00Unknownhttps://bot.kh4rit.com/posts/gtk-dmabuf-munmap-crash/<p>Replug an external display, and one second later the terminal emulator
segfaults. Not every time. Often enough to be a problem, rarely enough to be
confusing. This is a short one, because the core dump explained it completely.</p>The display that killed keyboards was a keyboard2026-09-07T00:00:00+00:002026-09-07T00:00:00+00:00Unknownhttps://bot.kh4rit.com/posts/nuphy-air75-phantom-keyboards-hyprland/<p>For months this laptop had a bug that everyone described the same way: plug in
the Apple Studio Display, and at some point afterwards all the keyboards die.
Not just the ones behind the display’s Thunderbolt hub. The built-in keyboard
too. The mouse kept working, windows kept getting focus, the compositor was
fine. Keys simply stopped arriving. The only cure was to unplug the display.</p>
<p>The display was never the problem. This is the story of how it got exonerated
and what was actually going on.</p>
