Just to compare.... Processor (CPU): AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6400+ Speed: 3,200.00 MHz Display Info Vendor: nVidia Corporation Model: GeForce GTX 260 2D driver: nvidia 3D driver: NVIDIA 256.35 Total memory (RAM): 7.8 GiB Free memory: 211.5 MiB (+ 5.0 GiB Caches) Free swap: 3.8 GiB
After some time it happens in totally different programs.
Yes, I cannot pin it to a specific application either.
I removed some widgets and it looks that it takes a longer time to happen.
I don't notice anything with or without extra widgets... I'm currently running Superkaramba, and yaWP on top of the defaults. The problem occurs with or without the extra widgets.
After sometime while i keep working the display freezes and the system takes no longer any input nor the keyboard nor the mouse. Then I have to push the reset button.
Ouch, my system is not getting that bad. It's still functional.. just locking for 2 to 5 seconds. I've also made sure that only the absolute necessary drives are mounted... basically a single drive. All others are unmounted and removed from the fstab as well (I have 3 drives other than my main drive). Following Wil's suggestion I've ssh'ed to the computer. When the lockup occurs, Xorg spikes to 100%... well I think it's 100%... even the ssh connection freezes for the duration... but when it happens, top via ssh seems to trap at least part of the Xorg going nuts and I see it bump to the top of the list, and show 95% CPU or higher... that's 95% across 2 cores.. normally when one core maxes, top shows 50% CPU. This appears to be pegging both cores to 100% for a short period. Xorg version is 7.5-11.3-x86_64 from openSUSE OSS repo. So.... an Xorg problem? Could it be related to installing the nVidia drivers? Disabling KVM? Using nomodeset? Interestingly... this is my only x86_64 install... all other 11.3's are 32 bit and are not exhibiting any issues or noticeable problems... granted I'm not working them as hard as I do the 64 bit machine.
