 |
|
Every now and then my computer will start doing this until I reboot it. When I type "ps a", it freezes. For example:
| Code: | PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
7883 tty1 Ss 0:00 /bin/login --
7884 tty2 Ss 0:00 /bin/login --
7885 tty3 Ss 0:00 /bin/login --
7886 tty4 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux
7887 tty5 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
7888 tty6 Ss+ 0:00 /sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
15821 tty7 RLs+ 26:40 /usr/bin/X -br -nolisten tcp :0 vt7 -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-pDe7EV

27656 pts/5 Ss+ 0:00 -/bin/zsh
27668 pts/6 Ss 0:00 -/bin/zsh
27672 pts/7 Ss 0:00 -/bin/zsh
27676 pts/8 Ss 0:00 -/bin/zsh
27685 pts/6 Sl+ 0:30 /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.6/ghc-6.6 -B/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.6 --interactive Eval.hs
27690 pts/7 S+ 0:07 emacs -nw Eval.hs
27692 pts/9 Ss 0:00 -/bin/zsh

30246 pts/8 S+ 0:03 emacs -nw Common.hs
30248 pts/12 Ss+ 0:00 -/bin/zsh |
And it just sits there, stuck. I cannot kill it, not even with sudo killall -9 ps. If I spawn or kill some processes and then run "ps a" again, the last entry in the chart will be different. Also, KDE SystemGuard will not display any processes.
Last time it did this, it started with amarok freezing first, and I could not kill it in any way.
Nothing unusual in /var/log/messages, but here is something interesting in dmesg:

I was using 2.6.18-r6-gentoo, but I just upgraded to 2.6.19-r5-gentoo. Maybe the problem will go away!

If it doesn't, I'd also try a different NVidia driver version.

Yeah I am running the latest ~x86 version of nvidia-drivers because I need a certain dual-monitor option that they provide.
