Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bruce.samhaber@samhaber.ca QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=412088) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=412088) Listing from machine-update script from counters.li.org. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 SUSE/3.6.13-0.2.1 Firefox/3.6.13 The problem occurs with KDE or ICEwm while using Firefox or Chrome even other other internet accesses have caused the system to hang (Yast online Update.) The machine is an IBM T42 Type 2373 I am not sure what other information to provide. The /var/log/messages is a huge file so I will provide it if requested, since it may have the information needed. The error messages from /var/log/messages are: I get the following messages from /var/log/Xorg.0.log that seem like they might be relevant but not sure what they mean.

The first has been running for several m onths and the second for almost a month now with no problems. The third hangs everytime I have Firefox or Chrome running. Sometimes I can browse the web for a few minutes before it hangs other times it just hangs on loading a default set of tabs. Both are using KDE as the window manager. Both machines previously had KDE3.? on them and now have KDE4. The machine that now hangs had some trouble with migrating the KDE3 settings to KDE4. When the machine hangs I even try CTRL-ALT-DEL and CTRL-ALT-2 but there is no response; needs a hard reset. If I run the Kernel in failsafe mode then the machine does not hang; with both KDE normal or failsafe mode. If I run the Kernel in normal mode and either KDE normal or failsafe mode with Firefox or Chrome running the system will hang. If I run the Kernel in normal mode and KDE in normal mode then browse the web with Konqueror there was no problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot in normal mode (ie. not failsafe), run Firefox with many tabs, load other programs 2.Get Firefox to reload all tabs or open many new ones 3.Change to another window then back again. The problem will eventually occur. on this system. Expected Results: Not hang. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
