Hi,
Sometimes since I upgraded my laptop to 15.0, and after it has been sitting alone doing nothing for hours in the sitting room, I get to it and it doesn't respond. Right now I tried to connect to it via ssh and it is responding very slow - yast failed to start, for instance.
Carlos,
I had something similar happen 2 days ago on my Leap 15 install. It had been up a couple of days and I went back into the desktop where I had an open xterm and no commands would work at all. It was like the PATH had disappeared.
From memory it was like:
$ ssh nirvana /bin/ssh unknown command
No, this is different.
The "kswapd0" kernel process was stuck at 25% CPU, so something was trashing like hell, in a loop. Thus starting any process took minutes. I was lucky to even be able to ssh in and finally kill firefox.
As a work around, maybe use that trick with a cgroup, it was discussed here a while back.
Ok, but doing what with it? I did not see any value that was that abnormal. I mean, not with firefox. I can not touch kswapd0, that's kernel. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
