Hello Brave Community,
Since yesterday afternoon, whenever I try to watch any video on the Brave Browser on my Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen 7640U w/ AMD Radeon 760M) using Ubuntu 24.04.3, after about a minute of watching a video, the entire screen goes black but everything else remains on; the audio, the keyboard and keyboard backlight, etc. Ultimately, despite everything else being on, I am unable to force quit the Brave session and am forced to hard restart my laptop in order to use it and get the screen back on again. This doesn’t seem to be a computer issue though, as this doesn’t happen while streaming videos on Firefox or locally through VLC with 4K videos. What could be the issue, and is anyone else experiencing this with Brave on newer AMD Linux systems? Here is my journalctl error code after a Brave video crash:
amdgpu: [drm] ERROR ring vcn_unified_0 timeout, signaled seq=XXXX, emitted seq=XXXX+2
amdgpu: [drm] ring vcn_unified_0 timeout, …
amdgpu: GPU reset begin!
amdgpu: resume of IP block <vcn_v4_0> failed -110
amdgpu: GPU reset(XX) failed
amdgpu: GPU Recovery Failed: -110
Description of the issue:
How can this issue be reproduced?
-
Playing YouTube Video
-
Playing X/Twitter Video or Audio (Live Stream)
-
Playing Rumble Video
Expected result: Full system crash
Brave Version( check About Brave): 1.85.11 & 1.85.116 (Official Build)
Additional Information: Time it takes for the system to become unresponsive depends on the quality of the video (ie. 480p video typically takes 3 minutes, 1080p video takes 1 minute, and 2160p can take less than 30 seconds).
