Hi,
the July patches in kernel-default-5.3.18-lp152.33.1.x86_64 has here introduced a problem with hard lockups. No logging about the problem.
Does anyone see the same crashing with the new kernel package?
kernel-default-5.3.18-lp152.26.2.x86_64 works.
I assume you are using openSUSE Leap 15.2?
That assumption is unwarranted. I was using it with 15.1
But you are not he, and I finished the phrase with a question mark ;-)
Indeed, and I've occasionally got hard lock-ups with all the 5.3 series kernels while using Firefox that necessitated a reboot. And no, restarting with the same configuration of tabs did not cause the lock-up to re-occur. There _may_ be a symptomatic issue with the kernel, but it is more likely a issue with Firefox or a library. I say this because a more common lock-up is with Firefox itself. While in FF I don't even have control over the cursor but can Alt-Tab to thunderbird, konsole or dolphin, for example, and control comes back. So I and kill the FF and restart it. The way that FF locks-up makes me sceptical about the kernel. Why do I loose so much control? Sometimes just in that application/window, sometimes the large scope. Might the problem be with KDE/plasma? Marcus did not mention the specific application that triggered the lock-up. The way he phrased it seemed to indicate that it was an accumulation of activity that triggered the problem with that specific kernel. That makes me wonder about the swap. My own experience with trying to 'tune' swap and swappiness and other paging parameters that seem to run afoul of using FF, as well as other sceptical comments on this forum about the way swap works in 15.x kernels compared to 42.x and 43.x adds to that. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
