  • This. I had symptoms extremely similar to OPs and saw this in the kernel logs immediately before the system would reset:

    [    0.705185] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged
    [    0.705187] mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 17: Machine Check: 0 Bank 5: baa0000000090150
    [    0.705190] fbcon: Taking over console
    [    0.705191] mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC 0 MISC d012000200000000 SYND 4d000020 IPID 500b000000000
    [    0.705195] mce: [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 2:a20f12 TIME 1678252812 SOCKET 0 APIC 3 microcode a20120a
    

    It turned out to be a hardware issue with my CPU (AMD Ryzen 9 5950X). I got it replaced under warranty (twice actually, the first replacement had other issues) and everything is fine now. Definitely check what the kernel logs say.

    You can look at the previous kernel log from before a reboot with journalctl -k -b -1 (as root)






  • universal-pidff is working on support for many wheels. I believe they are also working on upstreaming.

    Thrustmaster hid-tmff2 is a module that supports some common belt drive wheels. (I had a t300 but upgraded, see below)

    OpenFFBoard is fully supported without any extra drivers/modules in Linux. Even the configurator is just python+qt and works fine (This is the wheel I use).

    Running the drivers in wine won’t work, or at least there is no benifit that I’ve seen. Oversteer provides some udev rules which improve logitech support, you should install that and reboot even if you don’t plan to use it. The udev rules initialize the wheel correctly, set permissions on the sysfs components, etc. AFAIK the Logitech Driving Force GT is fully supported by the in-tree logitec driver link. Can you post more details about the issues you are having, maybe with screenshots?

    EDIT: I forgot that oversteer recommends using new-lg4ff for most logi wheels. So definitely give that a try as others said.

    Lastly there’s sim community https://infosec.pub/c/diysimulators@discuss.tchncs.de (the creator of openffboard is the mod of that community) if you’re interested. It doesn’t see that much action but there’s a little here and there.
