--- Comment #9 from Mircea Kitsune <sonichedgehog_hyperblas...@yahoo.com> --- After some more testing I have finally found the culprit: The freezes are being caused by the Network Manager and / or the WPA supplicant process. They are the first to go into disk sleep each freeze as shown by htop, dragging other processed down with them in the next second. Further more, clicking the NetworkManager icon in the system tray to list my connections often triggers such a freeze on the spot before the panel shows, identical to the one occurring automatically every minute! Looking at /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log I'm seeing one message being constantly logged there (every few minutes). Not sure if it's related to the freeze but just in case: 1573327565.215899: wlan0: Reject scan trigger since one is already pending I can confirm that disabling Wifi causes the problem to finally go away, a workaround I'll stick to for now as I don't currently need wireless internet on my desktop. This likely has something having to do with the Network Manager service. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
