nvidia-modeset/kthread_q 100% CPU + frozen computer (nvidia proprietary driver)
by Frédéric 03 Oct '26

03 Oct '26

Hi, Since I upgraded to fedora 44, I experience computer freeze under Plasma (wayland). Sometimes when in screen lock mode, I cannot log back again because the computer is not responding or it happens just after I unlock the screen. I can still log in via ssh and see that nvidia-modeset/kthread_q is using 100% of the CPU. PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1073 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 98,8 0,0 17:17.71 [nvidia-modeset/kthread_q] The process cannot be killed with signal 9 or 15 and the the computer does not even turn off with shutdown command. The only thing I can do is to run the sysreq commands to reboot with Alt+Sysreq+REISUB. I use the proprietary nvidia drivers from rpmfusion (610.43.03). My laptop runs an AMD CPU (Ryzen AI 7 350 w/ Radeon 860M) with an NVIDIA GPU (GeForce RTX 5060). I recently upgraded the BIOS of my computer to the latest available but it did not improve. Last time it happened, dmesg|grep error gave: ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.ACDC.RTWT due to previous error (AE_NOT_EXIST) (20251212/psparse-529) ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.ACDC._GRT due to previous error (AE_NOT_EXIST) (20251212/psparse-529) ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.WMID.WQBZ due to previous error (AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT) (20251212/psparse-529) ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.WMID.WQBE due to previous error (AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT) (20251212/psparse-529) hp_bioscfg: Returned error 0x3, "Invalid command value/Feature not supported" It is possible that those are the latest logs in journalctl just before the freeze: kernel: nvidia 0000:05:00.0: Enabling HDA controller audit: BPF prog-id=114 op=LOAD systemd[1]: Starting fprintd.service - Fingerprint Authentication Daemon... systemd[1]: Started fprintd.service - Fingerprint Authentication Daemon. audit[1]: SERVICE_START pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 msg='unit=fprintd comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=success' systemd[1]: Started dbus-:1.3-org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper@23.service. audit[1]: SERVICE_START pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 msg='unit=dbus-:1.3-org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper@23 comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=success' audit[68171]: AUDIT1100 pid=68171 uid=1000 auid=1000 ses=3 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:chkpwd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 msg='op=PAM:unix_chkpwd acct="fred" exe="/usr/bin/unix_chkpwd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=success' systemd[1]: dbus-:1.3-org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper@23.service: Deactivated successfully. audit[1]: SERVICE_STOP pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 msg='unit=dbus-:1.3-org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper@23 comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=success' systemd[2194]: app-org.kde.dolphin(a)5bc932b56eb94c20b1cf116060b04205.service: Consumed 10.477s CPU time over 4h 24min 14.502s wall clock time, 62.5M memory peak, 26.1M memory swap peak. kwin_wayland[2553]: Libinput: event6 - SYNA3501:00 06CB:CFC5 Touchpad: kernel bug: Touch jump detected and discarded.

You only need that repository, if you use or develop Java programs which needs older version of Java. Fedora currently distributes Java 25 and newer. You may also check, which Java versions are installed: rpm -qa | grep openjdk > -------------------------< Why and can I remove it ? # dnf remove adoptium-temurin-java-repository Package Arch Version Reposit Size Removing: adoptium-temurin-java-repository noarch 0:1-20.fc44 fedora 23.3 KiB Removing unused dependencies: fedora-third-party noarch 0:0.10-16.fc44 fedora 78.9 KiB Transaction Summary: Removing: 2 packages After this operation, 102 KiB will be freed (install 0 B, remove 102 KiB).

I have a bunch of recipes with the same content, appearing with different headers and subjects. I would like to get rid of emails with the same content regardless of the header or subject. I tried mdedup, but I couldn't find the right parameters. Can anyone help me? TIA

I'm considering getting one of these, mainly for use with things like Bitwarden that want me to authenticate from time to time. Any recommendations? poc

How to stop Firefox issuing DNS queries when I hover over a link
by fedora＠eyal.emu.id.au 24 Sep '26

24 Sep '26

I asked this before but it was lost in a related (but different) issue. Here it is alone. I have an HTML file with hundreds of links and moving the mouse across this page leads to a flood of DNS queries. How do I stop FF doing this? I did all that Mozilla (or a search) recommends but none stopped this. TIA -- Eyal at Home (fedora(a)eyal.emu.id.au)
