Not completely frozen, but can’t use it. All I had to do was dd from a USB SSD, to a USB drive on the network, over NFS. And also, open the folder in file manager.
Is this a software problem? Well, people say USB sucks for drives.
But not sure it has ever been this bad until recently.
Might just get a USB extension cable or two, and plug shit into that, instead of the front USB ports on this case. As I think I’ve read reviews where people said the USB ports were bad on a case they bought, so they might also go bad as well.
Most of my stuff is plugged into a hub, but that’s full. The NVMe external SSD though is plugged into the back. And in a faster port. The SSD I’m backing up with dd is the Atari VCS’s SSD, and just looks like a little USB flash drive. Didn’t put a drive in it. Came like that.
Should be one or two USB ports free. Need two ports though, sometimes I have two things plugged into the front.
Now to see if laptop freezes if I try to open that folder.
Well, didn’t freeze it. Oddly it didn’t mount by itself when turning laptop on. Refreshed a couple times too.
Guess it could be a hardware problem. It apparently only affects the desktop when it’s happening. So might not be a KDE problem after all.
Could be a openSUSE Tumbleweed problem though, with something else.
I could try dding something else to that same drive, and see if laptop freezes as well. But don’t got anything to do that with. Also, this is supposed to be a SSD, why is it taking so damn long?
Oh yeah, dmesg has a bunch of nfs crap on desktop as well. Something about timing out or not responding or something.
I do know, KDE will have issues if a network share goes down, when it’s mounted. If you umount it or when it becomes available again, there’s no issues. Or is that a Linux problem that doesn’t affect just KDE?
And if either of those things can be fixed with some setting change, well no idea why I have to do it. That should be the default.
Now to SSH into desktop, and see how it works.
Might be a KDE problem, as ssh seems fine. I ran top, and it reloads a lot.
I could easily see if that’s the case, just dd something on laptop in KDE, if it has a freezing issue, then it’s probably KDE. Then try something else, like Gnome, or XFCE or anything, and see if it freezes too. If all desktop environments freeze, sweet. Might as well say it’s a Linux problem then.
That might also make both computers completely freeze and maybe even the Raspberry Pi.
Should still get some extension USB cables, just in case.
I wonder why the USB Type-C on the case doesn’t work. Is it even plugged in? No idea, can’t remember.
