[SOLVED] System hangs when maximizing Terminal (new kernel 2.6.38)

I am using terminal [ 0.4.7-1 (xfce4)] and when i maximize the window, system hangs for about 4 sec. The output of dmesg for that issue is:
NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 13, 0000 e0019700 00004097 00001808 00000000 00000010
NVRM: os_schedule: Attempted to yield the CPU while in atomic or interrupt context
I use the nvidia 270.41.03-1 drivers. Also, that is not happening with other terminals like xterm.

My XFCE4 system doesn't hang.. but I have an NVIDIA card too, and when I resize TERMINAL it does this:

Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it.

Ok, so I have a problem where Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it.
I have documented this problem on my blog here:
Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it Rhyous's 127.0.0.1 or ::1
This has my hardware details, etc...
I consider myself an expert at troubleshooting (being in support for over 10 years including time as a Lead Technician doing Windows 2000 support focussing on performance), and have checked quite a few things to try to pinpoint this issue, but I just can't find the cause.
I am asking others if they have seen this issue. I need to know if it is only on my workstation, or if others are seeing it as well.
Have you ever right-clicked, chose new folder and then had to wait 45 seconds for a new folder to appear.
Then the same thing when you try to rename the new folder, a hang of about 45 seconds before the new name take affect.
Anyway, let me know if you have experienced ths.

Hi,
I suggest you temporarily uninstall the antivirus program to check the issue. You need to make sure that you have the installation file to reinstall it later.
If it does not work, I suggest you also test the issue in Safe Mode and Clean Boot to determine if this is a hardware or a software issue.
Good luck!

System hanging when i try to display or change or create a function module?

Hi Experts,
My system is hanging when i try to display or change or create a FM using SE37 transaction. I am able to execute SE37 transaction but when i give a FM name which is already existing, the system is getting hanged up. If i give a FM which is not present in the system and try to display it, it gives an error "FM does not exists". I have unistalled the SAP logon and reinstalled it again and restarted my system but still this problem is encountered.
Can any one please help me in this issue??
Thanks a lot in Advance!
Regards,
Lakshman.

Hi Prasad,
Go to se38 transaction and look at UTILITIES-> Settings-> ABAP editor-> Change front-end editor to old(if it is new) and check once. Hope this solves your problem becuase this is what i have done for my problem and let me know whether the problem has been solved.
Regards,
Lakshman.

System hanging when it runs out of memory

Hello,
my system has a finite amount of RAM and swap (it doesn't matter, to my purpose, if it's 16GB or 128MB, I'm not interested in increasing it anyway).
Sometimes my apps completely use all the available memory. I would expect that in these cases the kernel kills some apps to keep working correctly. The OOM Killer exists just for this, doesn't it?
What happens, instead, is that the system hangs. Even the mouse stops working. Sometimes it manages to get back to life in a few seconds/minutes, other times hours pass by and nothing changes.
I don't want to add more memory, I just want that the kernel kills some application when it's running out of memory.
Why isn't this happening?
Right now I'm writing a bash script that will kill the most memory-hungry process when available memory gets below 10%, because I'm sick of freezing my machine.
But why do I have to do this? Why do I need an user space tool polling memory usage and sentencing applications according to a cheap policy? What the hell is wrong with my OOM Killer, why isn't it doing is job?!

Alright, you won, now quit pointing out my ignorance
Your awkish oom killer is a lot cooler than mine, switching to it, thanks!
I did some testing (initially just to test the oom killing script) and found out that if a program tries to allocate all the memory it can, it gets eventually killed by linux's oom killer. If instead it stops allocating new memory when there are less than 4MB of free memory (or similar values) the OOM won't do anything, and the system will get stuck, like if a forkbomb was running.
That's it, this program with MINSIZE=1 will be killed, while with MINSIZE=4MB will force me to hard reboot:
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define MINSIZE (1024*1024*4) // 4MB
int main( )
int block = 1024*1024*1024; // 1GB
void *p;
while( 1 ) {
p = malloc( block );
if( p ) {
memset( p, 85, block );
else if( block > MINSIZE ) {
block /= 2;
return 0;
Guess I'd need to go deeper to understand why Linux' oom killer works like that, but I won't (assuming the oom killing script will behave).

System hangs on reboot/shutdown after kernel upgrades

I've been experiencing the problem that, whenever pacman upgrades the kernel, the system hangs on reboot or shutdown. It only happens on the first reboot/shutdown after a kernel upgrade. I've noticed it consistently for a while now.
To reboot, I issue:
# reboot
To shutdown, I issue:
# shutdown -h now
I should also mention that I typically reboot after kernel upgrades because hotplugged storage devices (USB, SD) fail to be detected unless the system reboots. That is, devices plugged in during the upgrade remain usable, but plugging in something new appears in /dev. There may be an obvious reason for it that I'm missing, but it's never bothered me enough to look into it. Not sure if this and the reboot/shutdown issue are related, though.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

When Apple Hardware Test says there is a problem, there definitely is a problem.
But like many diagnostics, it does not catch everything.
It can increase your confidence that you do not have gross flaws. The Hardware problems that remain may be more subtle ones.

[Solved] grub-mkconfig not picking up new kernel

Hi,
I compiled the linux-lts kernel from source today, woohoo! First time compiling from source. Fun!
I followed the Kernels/Compilation/Traditional - Archwiki. No problems at all in the Build Configuration and Compilation & Installation steps. The issue is that when I try to add the new kernel to grub.cfg
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub.d/grub.cfg
it does not pick up my new kernel. Here's the contents of /boot:

I've tried a bit of googling, checking journalctl, but haven't come up with anything, I've also retraced my steps in the wiki process about 3-4 times. I'm hoping someones bumped into this before, maybe I'm missing something obvious?
Thanks for your time!

[SOLVED] System hangs on boot, reinstalling Arch doesn't help

After a recent upgrade (including the kernel), my system hangs on boot. I have an Asus K40IN laptop, about 2 years old. I've been running Arch for the life of the computer and never had any (serious) problems.
I booted into a live Arch environment, tried rebuilding the mkinitcpio image, didn't work. Tried downgrading the kernel, didn't work.
I then assumed it was just some software issue that I couldn't figure out, so I reinstalled Arch. No change.
Here's what my screen looks like when it hangs:
Any ideas would be very much appreciated. I'm completely stumped here.

jnguyen:
I have another arch system, a desktop, that I tend to keep pretty much in sync with my laptop. So I can look in the logs on that system to see what was upgraded. The other notable packages in that upgrade were probably udev, initscripts, and mkinitcpio. I will try downgrading those.
Leonid.I:
I'm using the 2010.05 arch release, which has kernel 2.6.33. I see two cores in the live env, as I should, and there's nothing to suggest any problems in the logs.
I'm actually now getting a completely different hang screen:
Of course I don't know what this one means either...

SAP system hang when start the addon.

Dear Expert,
I just upgrade one of the SAP B1 server from 2007A to SAP B1 8.8 PL15, everything going smooth both server and clients.
Except one client (new laptop with Win 7 Pro x86), this laptop fail to start the addon.
Others clients with same specs Win 7 Pro have no problem to start addon.
Addon started manually.
After click start button for that addon, the system hang. If without the addon system working fine.
If anyone have ideas to check much appreciate and thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mat

Hi Bala,
I did try your steps, but no luck. System still hang when start the addon.
But, I can start SAP addon , example i try Screen Painter, and can start successfully. Only our addon cannot start.
I'm not suspect our addon because others client working smooth, even the server also working fine.
I did re-install DIAPI, even re-install SAP client a few time, but still fail to start addon (delete SAP client folder before install).
Any one face this problem?
Regards,
mat

[SOLVED]System Hang in Arch Linux

I have tried distributions like ubuntu and fedora in hope for finding a stable system . So I move on to Arch Linux
But this problem also exist on Arch. While using my Arch Linux (including ubuntu and fedora) my system hangs with a black screen with something written on the whole screen which cannot be pasted here as my system hangs and I have to push power button to restart.
So I check my errors.log file and found these errors

System hangs when copying large quantity of files from external HD

A little background:
I was having some problems with the original OS (10.4.1), including periodic freezes. I bought the Mac Box Set '09 and installed Snow Leopard (10.6.5), but ran into some problems and in the process had to reformat my internal hard drive. I backed up all of my photos (~16GB), Documents (~1.5GB) and Music (~50GB) on a WD external hard drive (My Passport 750GB).
*The problem*: After the 10.6.5 install, the computer works great (no random freezing when I click around in Finder), but I am having trouble copying files back to the internal HD from the external. I can copy up to about 1GB at a time without any problems, but any time I try to copy more than that, the system hangs (first the spinning disk cursor, then it totally freezes) and I have to do a hard reset. I have tried copying a number of different folders (pictures and music), and the same holds true: small folders with a few files copy without a hitch, but any time I try to copy a lot of files at once: freeze city. This problem occurs whether I am using Finder to copy the files or iPhoto/iTunes to import them.
I have verified both disks using the Disk Utility AND restructured/verified them using DiskWarrior. I also had no problem copying all of my files from My Passport to a second external HD using this MacBook, so I assume the Passport is fine. Is this a physical problem with my internal HD? If so, why can't DiskWarrior or DiskUtility catch it? I just noticed that there is an internal HD recall for this model of macbook, although I have never gotten the question mark on startup that would qualify me for a replacement HD from Apple. Maybe it's a problem with Snow Leopard... I would love to know if anyone has had this problem before or has some advice.
Thanks,
Sam

External USB/FW drives 'falling off' or drives spinning down (going to sleep) and I would assume since you have been running 10.4 that the Passport might be older model, perhaps not the latest firmware, maybe not compatible with Macs and with Snow Leopard.
Obviously you want FW800 but for some, USB worked where FW fails.
Hard Reset: do you have another hard drive to boot from to run Disk Warrior? is that updated to 4.2 or later? you never want to run DW from CD. Else, boot from OS X 10.6.5; or Single User and run FSCK. HFS+ doesn't take kindly to hard restarts even though a Safe Boot helps a little, that isn't as good as FSCK or one of the other options.
Disk Warrior Rebuild is more thorough, but if you hold OPTION while clicking on REBUILD it brings up more choices. And you want to scan the full hard drive.
Going back to Aug/Sept 2009, there were a lot of threads about external hard drive issues. Wish I could point to a good one.

My operating system doesn't support Firefox 4.0, why don't you post system requirements when sending out new versions? Or don't you care about those of us that can't afford new technologies?

I was prompted to download Firefox 4.0 and when I did and tried to open it I got an error message saying "You cannot open this application "Firefox" beacause it is not supported on this system. I have an older version of Mac OS X, 10.4.11, so I'm guessing that is the problem. Please direct me to where I can download an older version of Firefox that my system can support and next time please include system requirements with your update prompts.

Thank you for posting that link the-edmiester. I have already re-downloaded firefox 3.6.16 but will give tenfourfox a try. However, not to point the finger at you edmiester, my original question has still not been answered. Is it too much to ask for system requirements when I am prompted to download a new version of Firefox? I realize my computer is out of date and the longer I have it the less I'll be able to use it in this brave new internet world and I don't expect Mozilla to continually pander to me and others like me by keeping there web browsers compatible with older machines but I am fine with using older versions of Firefox. 3.6 works fine and when I saw that there was an update I thought "cool a newer version that would logically work better and faster than the one I was using" but that was clearly not the case. Like Redbeard I was forced to find an older version, re-download and re-install. Luckily I still had Safari, I shutter to think what would have happened if I had deleted it. As well, like Redbeard, this totally undermines my confidence in Firefox and I would hope that Mozilla cares enough about their users, you know the ones that create the need for their jobs, to at least address things like this in a timely respectful fashion.

[915 Series] System hang when installed CoreCenter

After updated bios to version 1.7 and Core Center 2.0, my system hang after sometime running.
When uninstalled CoreCenter, no problem now.
If installed previous version Corecenter, it still hang.

Many people here will tell you to dump CoreCenter. I don't use CoreCenter either. You'll find many here use Speedfan or MBM5 to monitor their temps and voltages. MBM5 is no longer developed and won't support your mobo. Speedfan is still updated and you also can control fans with this utility. Are soft OC'g with CC? Software OC'g is not recommended, but if you do soft OC, Clockgen is better program for doing so. I wouldn't. OC'g using the bios is considered the better method.
Also, it's a good idea to read the stickies especially the one about posting. As stated in the post I linked to, please include information about your system. See that post and my signature as an example.

System hang when ovrclocking

hi every body
i have aproblem
each time i overclock my system it hangs when i'm trying to load agame or to use a CPU more than 20%
i overclock with dinamic overclock 7 %
i have thermaltake big water cooling system so its not a heat problem.
and i will be glad if anyone can tell me how to overclock my system manually.
thanks alot ppl.

I think it has to do with your RAMs. Try increasing your RAMs voltage by 0.1v and relaxing their CAS Latencies and see if you'll get better results.

Solve Drive self-ejects and System Hangs when using MULTIPLE external drives!

I've discovered what I think is the underlying reason for many folks reporting similar problems. I bet that I can predict the GUIDs of the drives/docks/cases you're having trouble with! I bet that if you look in Disk Utility, if you click on the drives, you'll find "Connection ID 13757101839304263"!
Oh and if you look in System Profiler and click on 'FireWire' or 'USB' you'll find the GUID 0x30E002E0454647 !
What are the odds? I shouldn't be able to predict them; theyr'e supposed to be unique, after all, but google that number and you'll see that a great many devices all use that GUID.   (13757101839304263 in decimal is the same thing as 30E002E0454647 in hex.)
Mac OS seems to rely on them to be unique, and has fits when they aren't. I haven't found a total solution yet, but in the meantime, running this in Terminal can help:
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleFWOHCI.k ext/
Sometimes it helps to run this first to unload before loading the kext (kernel extension):
sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleFWOHCI.k ext/
Enter your password if/when prompted, of course.
In most cases, if you contact your hard drive manufacturer, they'll provide a utility that will fix the drive so that it actually has a truly unique GUID.
I'm mad at Cavalry for hiding the problem and refusing to fix it, W.R.T. the two 1TB HDs I bought from them for around $500, when that was the going price.
I figured it'd be helpful to create a user tip off the discussion in this thread: Disk Drive ejecting itself - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2151621?start=615&tstart=0     This is my first attempt to create a tip. I'm not sure I'm doing it right, but here goes.

Sorry but this is just a really bad idea.
1. The airport is ancient.. your speed will be terrible.
2. Hubs filled with USB drives are never reliable.. disks refuse to spin up.. become unavailable.
No.. don't do it.
Plug USB3 hub into the mini and use multiple decent hard drives .. that is fine.. use thunderbolt hub.. use thunderbolt drives if you can afford it.. but never use USB drives on the network.
3. Time Machine is not reliable to external drive on Airport Extreme.. Apple do not support it in any Extreme except the latest one.
If you want the material available to the network buy a NAS. You can buy a cheap NAS of 8TB or so and another 8TB of USB drives which you plug into the NAS for backup.. however.. iphoto is not supposed to ever be put on network drives..
Apple explicitly states you will corrupt it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168 Although mostly about FAT32           it adds network drives.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
And I quote
It's recommended that you store your iPhoto library on a locally mounted hard drive. Storing your iPhoto library on a network share can lead to poor performance, data corruption, or data loss. If you use both iPhoto and Aperture with the same library, using a Mac OS X Extended formatted volume is recommended. For more information, see Aperture: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library.
For backup of the drives.. use Carbon Copy Cloner.. it is much better than TM as you can setup different job.. TM is really a single function.. !!

netlink: Operstate: linkmode=0, operstate=6
Could not set interface ra0 flags: Permission denied
It doesn't crash when I run wpa_supplicant in the terminal, though, just throws an error. I am using an rt2860 wireless chipset, so I just had to downgrade to the staging drivers, as the new mainline drivers don't work for this chipset. I have no idea if that could cause this problem or not. It connects to wired ethernet just fine, though; I don't have access to an unsecured wireless network to see if it would connect properly without going through WPA.

I have an rt2860 in my EeePC and am on the current kernel (3.1.7-1) and have no issues with either using the rt2800pci driver (and wlan0 as the interface) or wicd and WPA2...
If you are running a stock kernel, I would try using the correct driver for the card and see where that takes you.

[SOLVED] System hangs when maximizing Terminal (new kernel 2.6.38)
