That's quite a busy desktop you have there.
No, that's while it is crashed. I had been iddling for 12 hours, waiting for it to crash, doing nothing.
So, the machine is not doing anything, then suddenly it goes hyperactive and locks up due to swapping going mad? Something must be triggering that. Maybe that's where you need to start looking?
Well, that's precisely why I ask for help :-) This night it hasn't crashed. What did I do? Remove btrfsmaintenance. The locks seemed to happen after org.opensuse.Snapper activated. But the job is still activated: <3.6> 2018-12-12 10:00:24 minas-tirith dbus-daemon 1360 - - [system] Successfully activated service 'org.opensuse.Snapper' <1.6> 2018-12-12 10:45:01 minas-tirith run-crons 21690 - - leafnode.cron: OK <1.6> 2018-12-12 10:45:01 minas-tirith run-crons 21690 - - mine-clocksync: OK <3.6> 2018-12-12 11:00:24 minas-tirith systemd 1 - - Started Timeline of Snapper Snapshots. <3.6> 2018-12-12 11:00:24 minas-tirith dbus-daemon 1360 - - [system] Activating service name='org.opensuse.Snapper' requested by ':1.459' (uid=0 pid=22050 comm="/usr/lib/snapper/systemd-helper --timeline ") (using servicehelper) <3.6> 2018-12-12 11:00:24 minas-tirith dbus-daemon 1360 - - [system] Successfully activated service 'org.opensuse.Snapper' <3.6> 2018-12-12 11:01:32 minas-tirith smartd 1358 - - Device: /dev/sda [SAT], SMART Usage Attribute: 194 Temperature_Celsius changed from 63 to 62 <1.6> 2018-12-12 11:45:01 minas-tirith run-crons 22930 - - leafnode.cron: OK <1.6> 2018-12-12 11:45:01 minas-tirith run-crons 22930 - - mine-clocksync: OK <3.6> 2018-12-12 12:00:24 minas-tirith systemd 1 - - Started Timeline of Snapper Snapshots. <3.6> 2018-12-12 12:00:24 minas-tirith dbus-daemon 1360 - - [system] Activating service name='org.opensuse.Snapper' requested by ':1.473' (uid=0 pid=23292 comm="/usr/lib/snapper/systemd-helper --timeline ") (using servicehelper) <3.6> 2018-12-12 12:00:24 minas-tirith dbus-daemon 1360 - - [system] Successfully activated service 'org.opensuse.Snapper' So maybe I need to remove something else.
Ok, I wait for suggestions on what to do next.
Don't run so many firefox and chrome processes ? There is a Firefox setting to disable running a process per tab, for instance. WE have had to disable it because of some CSS problem. I'll see if I can find it.
I remember.
The setting is "browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2", which all of our browsers used to have, but deleting it now does not make the CSS problem re-appear. Maybe it got fixed.
I can try to see if that uses less memory. The name of the setting is obscure.
The problem is not the load. CPU before this was iddling.
I meant memory load.
Well, Yesterday night you can see one post where I stressed it with several programs: thunderbird, firefox, chrome, kodi... no crash, watching a movie and writing a post, machine very responsive. I have seen it with 2 gigs in swap, double that of the crash, no problem. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
