Any git authentication failure causes my whole system to completely freeze

Help
1

Switching TTYs does not work. I’ve tried just about everything I could think of. When git authentication fails, for ANY reason, my whole system crashes!

Examples include:

  • Libsecret secrets provider not being present
  • Libsecret secrets provider declines request
  • Git cannot find its authentication helper executable (happened when I tried to switch to oauth as auth helper)

When authentication goes down the “happy path” (I.e. secret service is present, and returns a key), everything works fine. I also have a feeling that git failing should not cause the whole system to crash, regardless of whatever stupid thing I might be doing…

Please check system journal and provide relevant logs if you need assistance.

Any tips on what I should put into journalctl? Sorry :sob:

After a full crash and reboot, run journalctl --boot -1 to get the previous boot’s logs.

Was that after a crash? There doesn’t look to be anything particularly crashy in there.

Well, it was less of a “crash” and more of a hardlock like I said above. Not sure what could be causing it.

Even weirder, the issue doesn’t seem to happen inside a TTY. It only occurs in my graphical session for some reason?

Possibly git authentication failure triggers some GUI to run, which triggers some driver bug or hardware bug. Is this proprietary NVIDIA driver perhaps?

Latest stable NVIDIA (v560 drivers) running on Hyprland.

Did you try open source drivers?
