System hangs

ptkato · 2017-11-25 11:34:26

I don't know why, but recently the system started to hang for a few minutes. Everything worked, then bam! The strangest thing is that my status bar, terminal, and actually everything else still worked, but got unresponsive. I really don't know if it might be related to something I installed recently or even the kernel, I'm using a Ryzen 5 1600, kernel 4.13.12, just for the records. My dmesg output: https://pastebin.com/1dA6sNjG, I can't really rule out anything from those logs, but certainly, something is not right.

You failed to describe *what* and *how" statusbar/terminal/... "worked, but got unrespponsive".

Right now.
There is something wrong with hardware on that ATA bus. Likely the drive.

I could input characters into the terminal, but while the system is hanging, sending them had no effect, also, the statusbar monitoring, clock, etc, still worked. Animations too, I had a youtube video playing and then it started buffering, but I couldn't pause/unpause, switching workspaces didn't work too. I was also doing a pacman -Syu and it just stoped in the middle of the download.

About the disk, I thought about that too and did a test, before creating this topic, with smartctl and it passed. I might get a new drive anyway, it's a bit old.

Cable? The disk I/O error is very most likely your problem.
