First everything becomes unresponsive (except the mouse cursor), then the screen goes off and on and eventually I'm logged out, but even after logging back in everything is messed up. The only way out is to hard-reset the computer (hold down power button until the power goes off) and restart. I have noticed this behaviour first when I followed the Learn OpenGL Tutorial (first lesson involving actual OpenGL[1]), but I thought that maybe I was doing something wrong or that the fault was with my system (I'm using the packages glfw, gcc-toolchain and mesa in a Guix environment). Then today I tried the Kitty terminal emulator (package kitty) and the same thing happened. However, after I installed Kitty through APT it works perfectly fine, so the problem is in the packages that Guix installs. I can live with a slightly outdated Kitty, but the Guix environment is the real killer feature I don't want to miss. Is there anything that can be used to track down and fix the issue? I would guess that it's because of the mesa package, but that's just a guess. My system specs: OS: Ubuntu 19.04 x86_64 Kernel: 5.0.0-27-generic DE: KDE WM: KWin CPU: Intel i5 650 (4) @ 3.201GHz GPU: AMD ATI Radeon R7 370 / R9 270/370 OEM Memory: 2442MiB / 5949MiB Thanks for your time.
