It happens on every system with Linux, no matter the specs. If a program climbs to full CPU usage before I can close it the entire system will freeze and not recover

Daniel Baker
Its not about pure CPU power, its just about the CPU becoming taken up by a program. Any CPU can have this happen regardless of its power, it just takes more to do it to them
Levi Harris
>Its not about pure CPU power, its just about the CPU becoming taken up by a program. Any CPU can have this happen regardless of its power, it just takes more to do it to them Yeah but answer. What are you doing that jams up your system entirely?
Grayson Wood
Name the program.
I've fired up VMs in fedora and allocated 1.5x my available memory to it on accident. It was super juttery but surprisingly usable for having to swap out in use pages on a VM.

Is this a fucking joke or what OP? TTY literally always works if you aren't a brainlet with a shit installation, as for windows, windows actually DOES completely freeze, not to mention blue screen and a bunch of other bullshit. Windows lets full screen apps rape your work environment and you can't even get to the task manager and lmaoing at your life if you think alt+f4 is reliable.
Luke Ross
UG-Chromium is the program, but it applies to any browser I'm a tab hoarder and when I accidentally leave open a bunch of bloated JS filled shit sites my CPU usage will start topping out and freeze the system, and doesn't even let me switch to TTY
Jose Sanders

Elijah Phillips
>GRID >On an Atom >Integrated video Well see there's your problem.
Text editor =/= 3D Racing game
This. Just because we have the resources does not mean we need to use them.
Jonathan Long
Update your UG-Chromium, this is a problem with the program itself. Something is broken and fork bombing your system.
Or better yet use regular chromium with regular bug fixes or better better yet ditch it for firefox.
The only redeeming factor of chromium is touchscreen functionality which keeps it on a single laptop I own, other than that customized firefox with dark theme addons sits on everything else.
Carter Nelson
>I'm a tab hoarder stop being retarded
Ryan Bennett
UG-Chromium is just the most common offender, many other large programs do it too
>Use a web browser thats even more bloated genius
John Martin

>>GRID >>On an Atom >>Integrated video >Well see there's your problem. > >Text editor =/= 3D Racing game Forgot to mention it was on a different computer. Windows 10 LTSB on an i5 5200U with integrated graphics, it runs at 60fps constantly and occassionally bugs out on loading screens

use this thing called "The Great Suspender" and fuck off

Yep. You're definitely stupid.

>Tabs get completely blanked and you have to unsuspend them to view them even for a split second wow what amazing software
Jack Anderson
I remember thinking about how weird it was that Ubuntu 14 never froze
Why did I ever switch to 16 Sup Forums? Why?
Brandon Howard

Christopher Phillips
> on an Atom I don't think that matters. Same happened to me while playing TF2 multiple times
Joshua Ortiz
>linux freezes but windows doesnt What a silly meme, freezing frustration is why I switched to linux, windows a shit
Nicholas Ortiz
cgroups ulimits you're retarded
Brandon Kelly
NT has always had way better resource management than Linux, it's one of the few areas where it actually shines.
There are button combos to push commands directly to the kernel even if whatever program freezes up your computer
Jonathan Russell
>m.wikipedia.org >m
Aiden Phillips
Use Apple or Windows, Linux is not for you, if you think it has a bad scheduler.
Charles Thompson
it's also a security risk as it allows people to potentially kill shit like screen lockers and display managers and give you logged in ttys.
also doesn't solve the root cause of improper configuration of resource allocation.
Lincoln Parker
also enjoy killing your non-journaled file systems, like the garbage ass vfat one you likely have mounted at /boot or /boot/efi if you accidently magic sysreq + b without s + u
Ryan Martinez
Yea they could also just turn off the system with the power button.
Letting someone have physical access to your PC is a security flaw you dork
Alexander Sanchez
no it isn't.
let's see your killer exploit around gdm's lockscreen.
and if secureboot with luks is set up there isn't any meaningful thing you can do to the bootloader or the fs that wouldn't throw an error.
kernel can be tuned to not allow hot plug PCIe devices or even better, IOMMU.
Justin King
What if they hit the power button on the computer case? What if they just steal your PC because you are so focused that having kernel communication is such a security flaw that you let tyrone have his will with it
Blake Carter
What's wrong with the mobile site? Personally I think it looks great.
Luke Rogers
Thats a design FEATURE. Shift your mentality. If youre not using your resources, theyre useless. i fully support full utilisation at all times.
Julian Cox
Yes it fucking is. Read this before talking about things you know nothing about
i'm fairly certain that you are retarded because cpu load does generally not freeze anything, using up all memory does.
Cooper Gomez
It could if OP was 100% retardo and it to -20
Jose Ramirez
so something that's legit defeated by secureboot?
> You boot your computer using the attacker's hacked bootloader
and then the EFI says, hey this isn't a signed efi payload and then it dies miserably and then the efi payload can trivially check the signature on the bootable kernel blob that might also be tampered with.
you're a fucking moron
Ethan Powell
then the integrity of my data is even safer unless they manage to pull of a unicorn "cold boot" attack and defeating that would simply be moving towards soldered memory or moving the keys into CPU registers, like AES-NI or debug.
You're more describing what happens when you run out of memory with no swap file. I mean you could just compile a browser with max threads and it'll use all the CPU but still let the system keep going smoothly. You might also have your priorities set wrong on the program.
Elijah Myers

Aaron Morales
I had a similar issue to OP. System would freeze completely and not even REISUB will work. It seems to either just be related to high resource usage or the window manager I'm running which is xmonad, though I think it is the former since xmonad is known for being stable and there can go weeks between a freeze. I switched from firefox to chrome since at the time it had lower resource usage and it seems to be a much rarer issue with months between now.
Nathan Richardson
>huuur get better computer >linux needing anything >= a single core from the early 2000s good one
Jeremiah Smith
thats probly a hardware problem at that point, assuming you remembered to actually enable it.

Is thepiratebay.org one of the open tabs?

Kayden Nguyen
I get the same thing when something decides to use all my ram. Teehee I even made a swap part on my ssd, didn't help.
