programs run on different qubes freeze

[roger paranoia]

Hello

I've been using Qubes OS for almost a year and until now I didn't have any major problem that I couldn't solve using the official documentation or many posted solutions from experienced users.

A couple of days ago I started to experience a problem on chromium browsers run on any qubes that I have. They freeze for 2 to 5 seconds when I stress the browser a bit (using it a bit faster). It's similar to the little freezing that any qube experiences when updating through "qubes updater" any time disp-mgmt qube or the different templates start and stop during the process. The problem is that it occurs quite often (like every 10 or 15 seconds) that it makes impossible to work comfortably.

I'm using a dell latitude 5470 that I specially bought because it was one of the most compatible laptops according to the HCL so it shouldn't be a problem of compatibility. I have the maximum amount of ram that the computer supports and I've checked hard disk space and there is no issue with that. I'm running a different install on a very similar machine that started to experience the same issue, so it may probably be something related to software. And a few days ago there where many kernel updates on both dom0 and fedora and debian templates, so I think it will probably an issue with that.

Is anybody else experiencing this issue?


Thanks in advance

Hello Rusty

Yes! You're right!

As it appeared after some heavy dom0 and kernel upgrading I kind of gave for granted that it would be something not related to programs but related to dom0 or kernel.

But I've tried a proposed workaround posted on the link you sent and it works much better.

Thank you very much because it was really driving me crazy.
