Random freezes of the system usually within 60 minutes
Last modified: 2018-04-10 08:56:04 UTC
New installation of opensuse 42.1 on two Lenovo T460p Notebooks. One has been installed as dual boot with windows 10, the other is a pure opensuse installation. After installing updates on May 19, 2016 the system freezes randomly, typically within 60 minutes of operation. After the freeze occurs the only solution is to power off the system. Both systems show the same behavior. No such freeze occurred before the update on May 19 or if windows is running on one of the notebooks. Attempts to use older kernel versions did not improve the situation. Deactivation of the power management also did not help. Any suggestions?
Update: I switched the window manager from KDE to gnome. No freezes occurred any more while working almost a full day. Then I started konsole, the KDE terminal. Shortly after the start (about 2 or 3 minutes) the system froze again. So this problem seems to be related to KDE.
