Problem

What happens:

I have recently installed updates, which have started causing issues where after some time of using it, the system would become unresponsive. I’d need to hold the laptop’s power button to cut the power to exit this frozen DE state.

Frequency:

The system seems to halt what feels like every few hours.

Not a complete freeze:

The first occurrence of it I encountered, was when everything seen on the screen would become un’interact’able with. I could move the mouse, but nothing I would click on would do anything, or would give any visual feedback. Also I could still hear the sound of the work meeting going on.

Vague circumstances:

I’m unsure of whether I can provide any patterns of when the issues would happen. However, I noticed it starting whenever I would be closing a browser window, spectacle screenshot app, or would be turning off the system. I don’t recall whether these are the only circumstance around which the issue has manifested itself. Plus, trying to reproduce the issue by doing the above actions does not seem to work, however, there may be a some sort of correlation there.

Also not 100% sure on this one, but I believe the laptop fan starts blowing harder as well whenever an issue is happening.

What were the updates?

According to /var/log/pacman.log, the last time I installed updates before these ones was: 2024-02-15. So the updates I installed were the stack that has piled up between 2024-02-15 and 2024-03-10.
I’m guessing it’s the 2024-02-21 and 2024-03-06 [Stable update] releases.

Also a few days later, the 2024-03-13 updates would come out, which I have installed in hopes these issues would be gone, however, it was not the case. So that’s my current system state when it comes to updates.

Logs:

Since I’ve got to cut the power to the laptop to exit the freeze, I don’t think I have any system crash logs. However, the last logs before the power cut tends to yield stuff like this:

How do I know it’s updates related?

I’ve ran the command: …

journalctl --since '2024-02-16 10:46:00' --output='short-iso' --no-pager | grep -i -A 3 'BUG:' | grep -i 'kernel'

Question:

Is there any way I can resolve this? (Preferably without having to reinstall the OS.)
(Can’t use the Timeshift to rollback because it’s not set up :facepalm:)

If anyone has got any idea what is happening, please don’t hesitate to tell:
I’d love to learn more about what’s bringing down my system to its knees.

Please provide systeminfo using inxi

inxi -Fazy -c0
  • Check your swap allocation
  • Boot a live ISO and run memtest+
  • Sudden changes after updates could be caused by different methods of allocating memory

I am fairly certain it is hardware related - the logs point to that

That BIOS is 6 years old, the first thing I’d try is updating it. 1.74 was released 28 Nov 2023.

5

I Couldn’t run the memtest+ from the Manjaro ISO as my BIOS is set to UEFI only mode.
However, I ran Lenovo Memory Extended Diagnostics, which has passed on every test there was.

Not sure what exactly to look for when checking the swap allocation, however, I did some testing of pushing the swap near the limits of 7.9 GB out of 8.8GB. So it doesn’t seem like there’s any usage threshold there that would trigger my issue.

Perhaps, it could be related to hardware in a way that the new, updated software is using it differently enough for usage to be unexpected?

I’m thinking so because I didn’t not have any Kernel BUG errors for an entire month (that’s how far I checked) before installing the mentioned Updates, but as soon as installed them, I started getting multiple of these Kernel BUG errors per day. Also I haven’t changed anything hardware related at all on this machine.

On a separate note, it may be worth adding that I doubt the issue is related to running out of memory. As most these issues happened close to ~4-5GB of RAM usage out of total 8GB available. Plus it happened a few times while having barely anything open at all.

Perhaps, there’s a way to track down what exactly ends up causing these kernel errors?
Something has changed within the updated packages that’s causing these issues.
Perhaps, it’s possible to track down which one of those is causing issues by narrowing the package list down based on what impact their changes have? (Like which one is capable freezing the UI elements, but not the audio or mouse)?
Or perhaps, there’s a way to enable more verbose logs or something of the sort to get the answers to some of these questions?

I compiled a list of warnings and errors I found scrolling though the logs - most or all may not be related at all, but…
Maybe there’s a chance of finding something useful in there? :thinking:

Like, one of those baloo file errors that’s next to the kernel bug, mentions taintedness… which is also mentioned during nvidia module load. I don’t know, I’m just grasping for straws now.

Logs with matching timestamps do not necessarily go one one after another. I copied them from all over the place. Also some logs close by, may actually be separated with more logs in between. If any of these logs is of interest, let me know - I can get everything around them time-wise.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Will probably not tend to this now, but It’s on my to do list.
Thus far couldn’t find the time to figure out the hoops of doing this on Linux. :sweat_smile:
I had a rough BIOS upgrade experience with my previous laptop, where I bricked it. :persevere:
So I feel I need to be extra sure of that whatever I’m doing is alright when it comes to this.

I wonder if your baloo index database is corrupt.

Disable File Search in System Settings → Search → File Search, click Apply, then click “Delete Index Data” when asked. Reboot.

Test it like that for a while to see if your issues are still happening. Afterwards you can either leave it disabled if you don’t use that feature, or turn it back on which will reindex everything.

8

maybe try a different kernel series.

9

Tested it for a couple of days.

I think your suggestion has fixed the Baloo issue. Thanks!

The system freezing issue appears to be a separate issue though. It still persists.

10

I think I may just give it a go soon.

Sorry for late reply - I was holding out so far on your suggestion in hopes of testing MrLavender's suggested fix first & in hopes of finding some other clues for what’s happening if that wouldn’t work.

I think I’ll try upping the logs verbosity slightly in the coming days. If I get nothing still, I’ll give it a go with kernel downgrade.

11

New observations

Kernel bugs aren’t killing the system immediatelly

Across these couple days I noticed that those memory kernel bugs were not causing an immediate system freeze. The system can run just fine for hours past encountering these bugs.

Cannot tell the cause of the real issue yet because it’s not logged

Whenever the whatever critical failure does happen, the system does not produce any logs at that point or after. I let my system run for 40 minutes past it entering a complete halt (nothing was functional except the keyboard lights toggle) - it produced absolutely no logs.

Memory usage before the system freeze

Minutes before the system halting my system was sitting at around ~5.5 out of 8 GB RAM usage, and ~2.2 out of 8 GB swap usage.

I’m not sure what it was using all that memory for as I had a browser window open with like 8 tabs, Konsole terminate with 4 tabs that only displayed my logs search results, and I had a System Monitor up.

More details on what happened before the halt

The system did encounter maybe a 2nd or 3rd memory kernel bug during that session 5-10 minutes before the it halting. However, it was usable past it.

What triggered the system to start getting into freezing state, was clicking the “Windows” key whilst attempting to open the “Start menu” to launch “Spectacle” app. The UI froze on that moment as it drew the edges of the “Start menu”. From that point on those edges were stuck there with the main menu area being completely transparent.

I could still use Alt+Tab to switch between the application windows, however, the system went into a complete halt as tried launching “Spectacle” via terminal to screenshot … “plasmashell” (or a process with a similar name) being reported as a zombie process.

VM Size (probs red herring)

I’m aware that based on System Monitor’s description, the VM Size is nearly meaningless number, but is it normal for its size to be reported to be larger than the available system RAM or Storage?

image
image1541×400 82.3 KB

For instance, the Brave browser reports VM Size of 1.1TB. I can assure you, there’s nothing 1TB sized on my system.

Edit: another halt while closing an app.

Just had another system freeze, I think they get triggered via UI actions.

I was about to shut off my machine. So clicked “x” to close Brave browser window - and then it happened - complete halt.

Even seconds before doing that, I could do whatever I wanted - switch windows, tabs, etc. But as soon as I clicked close browser window - it halts. This has happened multiple times - mostly with browser applications. But happened with at least one other app I don’t remember.

This also happens whilst attempting to Shut Down a system.

12

Unfortunately, I never got to changing the kernel version.

My laptop ended up dying from, I assume, me cutting power to it to exit the freeze every couple of hours. Completely no reaction to pressing the power button now. At the repair shop now, hoping it will be economical to give it another lease of life. If you’re suffering from this issue, I don’t recommend waiting for too long given my experience.

In relation to this post, I don’t think I’ll be able to post any updates as to whether anything changes with the kernel update. However, judging from the Manjaro Discord group & the newer posts on this forum, it seems I’m not the only one with these system freeze and kernel bug issues.

Hopefully, the issue will be found and fixed with the new data points incoming about this.

This post can probably be closed if the information on it is no longer relevant to anyone.

13

I also encountered some crashing issues when upgrading to the 6.6 kernel; my computer would automatically reboot and there were no relevant error logs. My solution was to install the 6.1 kernel, which runs well and is very stable on my computer.
