Package: linux-image-amd64 Version: 6.12.57-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Debian Team,
DRM Panic is a feature introduced in Linux 6.10 that shows kernel panic on the screen. It can show simple message with error asking user to restart the computer or, since Linux 6.12, QR Code that allows user to easily scan panic log. This significantly improves user experience as previously panic log was printed on VT which not only is not visible when X.Org or Wayland desktop is running (resulting in system freeze without any message for user what happened) but also doesn't work without VT subsystem. It is supported by open source GPU drivers and probably will be supported by NVIDIA drivers as it was confirmed by NVIDIA that they are tracking it internally. However on Debian kernels this feature is not enabled: $ cat /boot/config-6.12.57+deb13-amd64 | grep DRM_PANIC # CONFIG_DRM_PANIC is not set In addition it is already enabled on other popular Linux distributions like Fedora or Arch Linux. Best regards
