I have tried logging in remotely and am unable to do it. So this not just a graphic issue. It could e maybe a powersave issue. I am just guessing. Is there anything else i can try? Created attachment 542457 [details]
var log messages from near one of freezes
might not be related to this bug but same symptoms so for now adding to pile
i dont know cause but am having similar freezes. for me think is busy with disk activity which might be one of the memory leak bugs floating around since system memory / paging memory seems to be on the high side sometimes. seems to happen most from resuming from suspend but sometimes just while logged in and working. one thing that i noticed is that in my case it seems to not occur with kernel-3.1.0-7.fc16 (x86_64) but does seem to occur with kernel-3.1.2-1.fc16 (x86_64) kernel-3.1.4-1.fc16 (x86_64) similarly not sure if related but /var/log/mssages: > > Dec 3 04:29:54 hostname kernel: [ 5.660632] scsi 8:0:0:0: Direct-Access Generic- Multi-Card 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS > Dec 3 04:29:54 hostname kernel: [ 5.660942] scsi: killing requests for dead queue > Dec 3 04:29:54 hostname kernel: [ 5.661243] scsi: killing requests for dead queue ... > Dec 3 04:29:54 hostname kernel: [ 5.663563] sd 8:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 > Dec 3 04:29:54 hostname kernel: [ 5.669472] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk > but the noteable part is that every few second/minute there is a group of these periodic errors: > > Dec 3 04:30:58 hostname kernel: [ 108.572533] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled > Dec 3 04:30:58 hostname kernel: [ 108.575530] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Asking for cache data failed > Dec 3 04:30:58 hostname kernel: [ 108.575539] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through > there are so many of them that i wonder if that is part of the freeze. its not that they just appear once at boot but rather they occur almost constantly. related link: http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2011-October/045467.html wasnt able to get .xsession-errors last time but will try next time it happens. Since updating the kernel to 3.1.5-2.fc16.x86_64 i have not been getting anymore of these freezes. for me looks like a large part of freeze issue is the memory leak related to dynamic desktop background swapping on disk. system seemed a lot more reliable without the dynamic background doh. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=639732#c8 "changing the background from the default dynamic version of it to a static background the leak has stopped" think that nautilus and gdesklet leaks are smaller and not nearly as burdensome but still there for now. improving :') |
