[Bug 1555351] Re: High load freezes ubuntu completely everytime (have to reboot)
This is a very well know issue (and frequently reported in all distros) in the way Linux handles i/o.

Here I am on year 2019 using Ubuntu 19.04 and this issue is still present until this day. As others have mentioned, other distros that I used also have this issue: Debian, Manjaro, Mint, Arch. I remember recently while I was using Kali linux to perform some pentests that everytime I tried to copy/paste any dictionary files used in brute force attacks to some other directory the system would just freeze and even the mouse cursor did not work. I had to turn off the laptop and restart on the power button.

[Bug 1555351] Re: High load freezes ubuntu completely everytime (have to reboot)
I experience this bug all the time from at least 2 years. The issue started for me when I switch to 64bits ubuntu version. I'm a web developer and chrome is the main cause of this issue. Ubuntu starts to swap and all freezes until the application that is causing this stops or turn idle. CTRL+ALT+Fx and force kill works, but it is a slw proccess because the system turn very very very slow and the ctrl+alt+fx change + login + write the kill command takes a frustating long time that most of times I prefer to reboot hardly the PC. I've experienced this issue in many laptops (HP, Asus, dell) and in a desktop dell machine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1555351 Title: High load freezes ubuntu completely everytime (have to reboot) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1555351/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This has annoyed me through the years on different machines and on different distributions ((K)Ubuntu and Debian). I am here because I experienced it, once more, a few minutes ago. Hard-drive (SSDs are silent, but I could tell from the led) usage skyrocketed even though I do not have any swap partition. Mouse cursor lagged, and even Ctrl+Alt+F1 (take me to a console) or Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (terminate X) did not work. I had to hit the power button. If I can be of any help, I will do my best.

KelleyMcChes, to advise, you seeing potentially the same symptom on different machines, different OSes, and/or with X server running doesn't make it any more or less a kernel issue (although it would be suspected as a root cause given the symptoms themselves).

[Bug 1555351] Re: High load freezes ubuntu completely everytime (have to reboot)
I would like to add, this is probably a problem with the Linux kernel as I have seen this on other systems. I have observed it so far on: Ubuntu Live USB, ArchLinux, and Gentoo. This problem seems to only occur when it is being compiled with the X server running.

Cossio, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/X550LA/HelpDesk_Download/ an update to your computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is available (509). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything? For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. Also, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible: 1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect): sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date 2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not. 3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.
