Those lockups reminds me of hard disks lockups, when nothing works anymore exepct what was already been loaded on RAM. Maybe flash/chrome is writing t= o a broken area of your disk.

Hi All,

Something strange happen here. I have seen few things in Linux world
but this is very new for me!

I have this fantastic browser called Chromium (12.0.742.68) and I
really like it. But, sometimes, when I see flash videos on different
sites (youtube, cnn, bbc) the whole chromium become frozen and basicly
impossible to kill it. (The comfortable way is left click on the
taskbar and choose "Close" and KDE takes care of to kill the
application. ) I'm aware of I'm using Linux and the Linux desktop a= nd
the flash are not the best friends ever. So my usual activity if my
browser become frozen by flash is the next: (1), start a konsole, (2),
start htop, (3) and kill the process, (4) restart the browser, (5)
happy.
But, in this case, htop doesn't start. I can see the prompt and the
command "htop" but the cursor is disappeared and nothing. Just wa= iting
for something. The konsole doesn't react CTRL-c. I've tried this in=
xterm terminal and the result was the same. In normal case I examine
the htop process by strace but I can't figure out what is the PID
number because of ps aux (see below). Usually I'm using strace from
htop.

I thought "ok, no problem, I'm well experienced linux user and I k= now
there always is another way to kill a process". So, I typed "ps a= ux |
grep chrom" command and the result was the same as htop. I could see the prompt and my command and nothing. The cursor is disappeared and
nothing. We waited for something. Here I thought that the X server
could be the root cause. I pushed CTRL-DEL-F1 and I thought that "here=
is my little console and I'm able to do everything". But the resul= t
was the same when I wanted to start htop.

Here was the point when I became angry and restarted my machine. The
restarting process stopped at "Terminating processes" and my mach= ine
didn't restart just wait for something for minutes! I had to push
reset button after 5 minutes.

Strange, isn't?

Has anybody any thought, idea what the hell happen?

Those lockups reminds me of hard disks lockups, when nothing works anym= ore exepct what was already been loaded on RAM. Maybe flash/chrome is writi= ng to a broken area of your disk. Check the HD light, weird noises. Or RAM.= I have no such problems of things crashing with flash, but had experienced= flash UI lockups in the past.

Why don't you test with another browsers?=A0That will he= lp identifying the problem. Check dmesg, too, it might give you some tips o= f failed disk.

My two cents.
Good luck.<= /div>

Leonardo.
