The shutdown issue still persists for me with this commit and WLAN does not work too although the networks are at least displayed but connecting to them fails.

@tomaspinho Testing fix-buffer-overflow-6.5.1 branch with verbose debug logging. Wifi OK, boot OK, can't shutdown, caps lock light keeps blinking (kernel panic?).

Let me know if you need anything else or a specific flag passed to journalctl command.

@reclipse thank you for the kernel debug log shared

Although I think the error depicted is not related (it's about how the module is reporting MAC addresses back to the kernel), I have a fix for it here, if you want to test: https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce/pull/333

@tomaspinho the problem is occurring when shutting down the PC actually and not booting. The screen goes black and caps lock key keeps blinking but PC doesn't actually shut down. I mistakenly thought boot was failing. After I do a force shutdown by holding the power button, it boots normally. @nnamreg please check your system too.

As for grabbing a kernel call trace, I have no idea how to do that. This is what I found after some research: https://pastebin.com/n1w064gx

@nnamreg @reclipse Thank you both for testing. Fixing this goes well beyond my kernel module development capabilities, unfortunately.

Would you be able to check if you can grab a kernel call trace after a failed reboot so we see where it's breaking? Should be in your journalctl/dmesg.

@tomaspinho I've tested the fix on 6.5.2 and I'm getting the same exact experience as @reclipse

reclipse commented on 2023-09-12 15:10 (UTC)

@tomaspinho it does work but when rebooting computer starts with a blank screen and caps lock light keeps blinking. Force shutdown by holding the power button and then starting the computer again boots the OS normally.

Hello, we're attempting a fix for Linux > 6.5.1 here: https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce/pull/332

Please test it and provide feedback if you are able.

Switching to linux-lts does not work. The issue remains there. The only temporary solution is to downgrade.

sudo downgrade linux
sudo downgrade linux-headers

Spixmaster commented on 2023-09-12 05:27 (UTC)

@nnamreg Yes, my system also fails to shutdown. Thanks for the hint. I would have never related it to this driver.
