google chrome and chromium freezing
cooloutac
But I also had noticed a week prior that chrome was not showing, for example, the live chat popup button on amazon.com. with no extensions nothing. ah no they probably changed their chat to allow some non https connection or something I bet. and in the default disposable I use with firefox that is not the case. sorry fro the stream of consciousness.
Regardless, I'm still using firefox for right now cause the freezing in the suspect vms has not happened with firefox for some reason. Over the years I always go back and forth to whichever one is less abused for the current time being.
But I'm so paranoid right now I'm gonna wipe the entire system. Actually even keepassx vault froze on me... I hope its just a hardware failure, fedora is good about monitoring hdd though...but yikes.
anybody have any encouraging words for me? lol.

Chrome, but in things like nautilus and gnome-terminal. It's sporadic,
though and I haven't nailed anything down yet except it was something in
the latest batch of stable updates.
My coldkernel VMs won't boot either, and it's very similar to these
threads (ErrorHandler: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource
denied), but they'll boot properly with a dom0 vm kernel):

I don't know how to fix any of this.

delete this thread please don't know why I posted it. Its obviously more then a google chrome and chromium issue. I don't think its hardware issue cause its program affected, or maybe its vm affected I didn't even try to open terminal when it happened, not that it matters at this point, also probably worth checking the memory chips at least.
Is it possible to run a memory checker from a usb stick? Anybody got a recommended program to use i haven't used one in years. maybe my bios has a checker.

Chromium browser seems to be the only app/window that freezes, and I
have to restart the whole AppVM when it does. The problem seems to
have started right after updating qubes-libvchan-xen to 3.2.1, but
this is merely an observed correlation.

Andrew, what's your hardware configuration? Specifically, RAM and
whether or not you're running on an SSD or a hard drive?
I'm still trying to resolve some of my other issues that I'm
experiencing because of the update, but I'm noticing a lot more RAM
usage (including a lot of swap being used; 600MB in dom0 right now on my
laptop when in the past, it's usually held at 0MB, but my hard drive
light isn't on when the freezing occurs and there doesn't seem to be
anything abnormal when running top on the VM) and I'm wondering if the
'freezing' is related, and potentially more noticeable to those who have
a lot of swap in use. Don't have time to really delve into it at the
moment though, so it's also anecdotal.
I have noticed though that if I launch xterm or any other app on the VM
using Qubes Manager, that as soon as that new window pops up, everything
becomes responsive again. Also, that when the freezes occur, I sometimes
can't connect to the VM with virsh until it becomes unstuck again.

looking for it. I'll post here again if I notice it.

yes I think I noticed this too. When I got the freeze instead of shutting down vm I launched the terminal from it. was going to kill process and then realized it was working again.
The machine this is happening on has 500gb ssd and 16gb ram, iommu on, intel gpu, intel 5 cpu.
Another machine doesn't have this issue, and it has no iommu, no ssd, and old amd cpu, older nvidia gpu. This machine also never got the missing kernel bug. And has had no restored backup vms.
Legacy boot on both.
In fact I wonder if the freezing is happening on those vms that were affected. Because it happened when updating my fedora-24 clone from the qubes-manager gui. When I went to hit enter to close the vm, window was frozen so I manually shut it down. This hasn't happened on any of the other templates, and in fact, this was the only template that had a missing kernel problem. Could it be related? Never had any freezing before the day of dom0 update.
none of my untrusted vms were affected with the dom0 update bug. I will start using chrome in them and see if it freezes.
cooloutac
And yes I can confirm what Reg Tiangha said... I opened a gnome-terminal when the update froze. And as soon as I did that you could see the y's pop on the screen I was hitting for yes to update. But then both terminals froze. So I simply just once again opened a second gnome-terminal and they everything unfroze immediately and updates kicked into action.
No idea what that means but hopefully thats a clue for a dev.
cooloutac
Ya I don't think this is related to the missing kernel issue, or at least that wasn't the direct cause it seems.
