Am I the only one having issues with Bluefin hard locking up every couple days? It seems to happen randomly and requires me to hold power to power off the box.
As much as I’ve been loving Bluefin for the past couple weeks the seemingly random hard locking while I’m in the middle of working is getting very painful.
bluefin-dx-nvidia
Intel 11th gen i9
Nvidia RTX 3070
64GB RAM
Running xorg (no Wayland until new nvidia drivers drop)
The last time it locked up I was running a couple web browsers, a couple Electron apps (for Teams and Outlook), a Distrobox container and Podman container for MariaDB.
I’m running the latest update according to ujust update
One week update to this in case anyone is interested or has a similar issue.
I was using Waterfox (privacy-centric version of Firefox) as my primary browser that I installed from flatpak. I switched to Ungoogled Chromium soon after posting this. I haven’t had a single freeze/lockup since switching away from Waterfox.
It could be a coincidence but that’s the only major software change I’ve made and the system has now been running stable all week (fingers crossed).
Whatever it was I’m just relieved that it’s no longer an issue.
I’m going to leave this post open for another week or so just in case it starts happening again and if not I’ll close it.
The entire system freezes. The mouse doesn’t move. Trying to switch to another console with control-alt-# doesn’t work. Any audio currently running freezes in an audio loop.
I have to hold the power button on the machine to force power it down.
