100% CPU usage after updating my laptop which causes my laptop to freeze

Blackadam · 18 December 2023 12:39

I had an update on my laptop yesterday and since then I’ve been having 100% cpu usage which causes my laptop to freeze. And I have to force shut it down(which is bad).

I’ve tried to downgrade the kernel also but it doesn’t solve the problem.

Anytime I open my vscode and start my my local host it just freezes.

I’ve boot with my usb bootable device

And here is the log when I run

Hi @Blackadam,

Can you enter a chroot environment? Does this happen in the live environment?

Edit:

Please provide the output for:

ls ~/.config/autostart

And

systemctl list-units

And

systemctl --user list-units

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
132 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.

I know, but a live environment isn’t a chroot environment. You use the live environment to enter the chroot environment, but the live environment is not the chroot environment.

And apologies, I wasn’t specific enough. Those output need to be from the chroot environment. I don’t think, however, you know how to enter one, and that’s OK I didn’t either, not all that long ago.

So, enter a chroot environment:

How to chroot

Ensure you’ve got a relatively new ISO or at least one with a still supported LTS kernel.
Write/copy/dd the ISO to a USB thumb drive.
When done, boot with the above mentioned USB thumb drive into the live environment.
Once booted, open a terminal and enter the following command to enter the chroot encironment:

manjaro-chroot -a

If you have more than one Linux installation, select the correct one to use from the list provided.

When done, you should now be in the chroot environment.

But, be careful, as you’re now in an actual root environment on your computer, so any changes you make will persist after a restart.

From there, run the following, as described above, and provide the outputs please:

ls /home/<username>/.config/autostart

Where, you guessed it, <username> is your normal username.

And

systemctl list-units

And

systemctl --user list-units

Blackadam · 18 December 2023 13:27

Thank you so much.
here is the output for

ls /home/blackadam/.config/autostart

org.moson.matray.desktop

systemctl list-units

Running in chroot, ignoring command 'list-units'

systemctl --user list-units

Running in chroot, ignoring command 'list-units'

i notice that when i get into chroot, i got this log

grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1.  Check your device.map.
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1.  Check your device.map.
==> Mounting (ManjaroLinux) [/dev/sda1]
 --> mount: [/mnt]

That’s perfectly normal, don’t worry 'bout that. Or, at least, I think it’s normal, I’ve seen it a lot.

Wasn’t sure if this’d work, but now I know. OK, let’s do it this way then:

From the chroot environment, please provide the output of:

ls -l /etc/systemd/system

And

ls -l /home/<username>/.config/systemd/user

Where, you guessed it again, <username> is your normal username.

And

ls -l /usr/lib/systemd/system/

Edit:

I now have to ask something that might be kind of difficult. I need to see what is doing what on your PC, while it’s happening. So, please log into the system, and when it’s running away, run the following in a terminal:

ps -eo pid,user,ppid,cmd,%mem,%cpu --sort=-%cpu | head

Explanation:

-e : Select all the process
-o : User defined format, ps allows to specify the output format.
-pid : Process ID list.
-ppid : Parent process ID
-sort : Specify sorting order.
-cmd : Command’
%cpu : CPU utilization of the process in “##.#” format.
%mem : Ration of the process’ resident set size to the physical memory on the machine, displayed in percentage.

…and provide the output.

I suspect you didn’t see this due to timing. So here it is again:

Mirdarthos:

Edit:

I now have to ask something that might be kind of difficult. I need to see what is doing what on your PC, while it’s happening. So, please log into the system, and when it’s running away, run the following in a terminal:
ps -eo pid,user,ppid,cmd,%mem,%cpu --sort=-%cpu | head
Explanation:

-e : Select all the process

-o : User defined format, ps allows to specify the output format.

-pid : Process ID list.

-ppid : Parent process ID

-sort : Specify sorting order.

-cmd : Command’

%cpu : CPU utilization of the process in “##.#” format.

%mem : Ration of the process’ resident set size to the physical memory on the machine, displayed in percentage.

…and provide the output.

sorry it took a while, i had to shutdown and log in again.
here is the output of

ps -eo pid,user,ppid,cmd,%mem,%cpu --sort=-%cpu | head

No, it’s perfectly fine!

It would seem the culprit is brave…and I have seen this kind of behaviour before. The only thing to do about that is to use a different, proper browser. Like Firefox.

Blackadam · 18 December 2023 14:29

But I’ve been using it for a long time now, and it worked fine. There are times i have two windows open with more than 60+ tabs and also have my vscode running and other applications. Before the update, everything was working fine. I had more applications open then than after the update issue.

Do you advice that i installed the previous version of brave?

Mirdarthos · 18 December 2023 14:36

You can try it, but I never advise using a lower-than-current version, especially on Manjaro since it’s a rolling-release and especially not a browser…

Correction: It worked fine. It obviously doesn’t now.

And with the update, something obviously changed…

There would be a lot more posts here if this issue was affecting every Brave user. So it’s probably an extension or some other local setting on your end. I don’t use Brave but maybe this will help

Mirdarthos · 18 December 2023 15:03

I have seen a lot at one stage. And as I don’t use it, either, I might have missed it getting better/worse. But yes, an extension going haywire is, indeed, possible.

You will also experience lockups/crashes when you hit that 11.5 GB of memory limit, because you have no swap.

My suggestion these days is usually zram. Heres another post where that is outlined;

Continuing the discussion from Awful performance since install:

Awful performance since install

sudo pacman -Syu zram-generator
Then edit the configuration file. (use your preferred editor)
sudo micro /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf
You want it to look like:
[zram0]
zram-size = ram / 1
compression-algorithm = zstd
swap-priority = 100
fs-type = swap
You may want to ensure zswap is disabled as well. One way is to add to the boot options, at /etc/default/grub the option zswap.enabled=0.
That is to add it to one of the CMD lines so that (Assuming no other options) it would look like:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="zswap.enabled=0"
Then run
sudo update-grub
And reboot.
You can check the configured swap/zram using
swapon
zramctl

Thank you so much. I followed the procedure.

It still freezes.

Blackadam · 19 December 2023 08:29

I don’t think it’s from brave browser. I use vscode in combination with brave. Now I switched to Firefox and it still freezes

Mirdarthos · 19 December 2023 08:43

Please provide the output of:

free --human

Blackadam · 19 December 2023 11:14

               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            11Gi       4.6Gi       5.4Gi       478Mi       2.4Gi       7.0Gi
Swap:           11Gi          0B        11Gi

Right now, i only have my brave browser opened

Mirdarthos · 19 December 2023 11:29

…and a lot of RAM available…but your swap doesn’t seem to be used…

Please provide the output for:

sysctl vm.swappiness

And:

cat /etc/sysctl.d/30-swap_usage.conf

Edit:

The only other thing I can think of to diagnose this, is to take a snapshot of the top, let’s say 50 processes when everything is OK:

ps -eo pid,user,ppid,cmd,%mem,%cpu --sort=-%cpu | head -n 50

And compare it to the top 50 processes when it occurs, also obtained with:

ps -eo pid,user,ppid,cmd,%mem,%cpu --sort=-%cpu | head -n 50
