Bug#837606: general: system freeze



Control: reopen -1

Sorry, I don't think that the best way to solve this issue is to close the bug.

I personally encounter the very same issue when using epiphany browser with lindedIn. Imagine yourself sowing to your colleague something, you are enthusiast, and the unique  Linux user in the company, and proud to do it, but then it hangs. Awful, especially when they tackle you about all the says you did about an well known operating system whith blue screen!

Now back to your request:

Yes, this is true, but not a reason to trash the bug report.

The cause is that the system starts swapping on a laptop with 16GiB RAM and 32GiB swap on a 5200R/mn
OK, my hard drive is slow but I don't see why it should hang the system.

A Dell pressario series 5500. Intel video card.

The only thing I can do is hit the power button for more than 4s. Otherwise, nothing works. I have a statical image, mouse can not move anymore, the clock stops updating on gnome panel and lid close dos not react any more. System does not enter sleep mode when I press power button, and even Verr/num led does not react anymore.

No, absolutely no.

No, it happens only when using the browser. It is clear that the browser have a bug but the system is not expected to freeze.

No

However it is not a matter of discussion, it is a matter of tracking a real issue!
