I am running Trixie full updated.
I have been having lockups quite often running Firefox under the latest
kernel.
The lockups are complete, even REISUB doesn't work - the computer is
completely unresponsive.
I have gone back to the previous kernel and things run smoothly.
I don't have anything useful to add. But this piqued my interest since
Linux oversubscribes memory and many programs don't deal with ENOMEM
well:
Swap: Alert: No swap data was found.
Does adding a 1 GB swap file and low swappiness, like `vm.swappiness =
2`, alleviate the problem?
I doubt it. I haven't run a swap file in many years and this system
works fine
under the previous kernel. So it's not a memory problem. A google
search will
turn up dozens of other reports on kernel 6.12.6....most of them problems
on laptops after suspending, but mixed in are a couple of computer
lockups like
the one I'm experiencing.
