Thanks WebKit... [amdgpu crash]

I'm surprised this happened:

I'm using Debian 11.6 and figured I'd try Chromium. After a few pages loaded and having it running for ~12 hours, the applications seem to have frozen. The music in the background continued to play and the cursor would move, but the applications are all seemingly non-responsive. SSHing in and running `dmesg` showed that error. Kernel is 6.1.0-7. Anyone else see this before? I noticed that Chromium on Debian also reports it's x86_64, that should have been reason enough to go back to Firefox!

Hi, in fact what is happening to you is a bit strange, I also use Debian 11.6 but no problems with the radeon 5700 XT until now at least. I too used Kernel 6.1 until recently and I have never encountered similar problems. Are you sure your GPU is working fine? Because from what it seems, you have the same software that I use so it seems strange to me that this happens, I wouldn't want your graphics card to have some critical issues...

It's a Radeon 580, and has been working fine otherwise. I haven't played any games, but it seems OpenGL works at least. I've played around with the fancy desktop effects, and I'm using dual monitors. It was a second-hand purchase, so maybe it does have some issues.

Speaking of Chromium, it worked rather well when I was using Void Linux. I could share my desktop on Google Meet meetings. Even when tinkering with some of Chromium's advanced options on Debian 11, the desktop sharing fails with a message that it's not supported. In both cases with Void and Debian I was using a Linux 6.1 kernel.

And for whatever it's worth, I was able to follow the instructions on the Wiki to get the GPU graphics to work at boot by flashing the squashfs firmware image.

If the error did not occur under Void Linux it is not a hardware problem.
