I've had this problem off and on for several years, and over several iterations of openSUSE. My current setup is openSUSE 13.2 desktop with KDE5/plasma5. Graphics card is nVidia 9600GT running the latest nVidia proprietary drivers, driving twin monitors.
Every so often, the system freezes for between 5 and 60 seconds. The mouse cursor still moves, but windows won't scroll, desktops won't switch and often sound gets cutoff for the duration of the freexe-up. It's irritating, but not a show stopper.
I'm running gkrellm, including its 'Proc' viewer. This shows ~540 processes and 4 users, but when the lockup occurs, the brown graph climbs up to the top of the view port then gradually subsides.
I've also tried having htop running, but it doesn't provide much useful information - no CPU hogging, no swapping out, etc.
It would seem there may be some process that runs away every so often. Is there some file I can monitor or tail to catch it in the act.
TIA

Last time I saw this was a dieing drive. Run hdparm, and maybe smartd. A lot of times you can be convinced its ok because something you use rarely will occupy the bad sectors. So check your disk first. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
