SUMMARY I had several applications running. Chrome started behave strangely, and then the entire system froze stopped responding to keyboard and mouse. The mouse cursor wouldn't move. No key or combination of keys would do anything. Not even Ctrl+Alt+F1/2/3/4 worked, so I couldn't even open a virtual console and see if some process was consuming CPU or whatever. The only thing I managed to do was a REISUB. Obviously this caused me to lose a huge amount of unsaved work. Please tell me what logs I can fetch that may help you investigate the issue. Of course I cannot tell for sure the issue is in KDE, but I feel like that's where I'd start looking. STEPS TO REPRODUCE no idea. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.112.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11 Kernel Version: 6.1.68-1-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-1065G7 CPU @ 1.30GHz Memory: 7.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Iris® Plus Graphics Manufacturer: LENOVO Product Name: 81WE System Version: IdeaPad 3 15IIL05
How is the entire system completely freezing anything less that critical??
That sounds like it sucks. However since you're using X11, we can rule out KDE code, since on X11, only the X server has the power to freeze the system as completely as you've described. Unfortunately the X server is essentially unmaintained so I doubt anyone over there who you could report the bug to would be able to troubleshoot it, let alone fix it. In the future I'd recommend using Wayland since it's much more debuggable from a KDE perspective, and you're much more likely to end up with the issue being investigated an fixed.
