Since a recent Update Laptop keeps stopping for several seconds

Rather vague I'm afraid, but the symptoms are very strange. Since a recent update, I think possibly on 6th October, but I am not sure, my laptop keeps 'freezing' for around 5 seconds and then continuing without any apparent problem. It seems to occur when I run a new programme. It can occur with virtually no cpu usage, just 40% memory usage and no swap used. Watching the processes on xfce4-taskmanager it appears that nothing is happening for the approx five second delay.

Linux acer 6.10.10-artix1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri, 13 Sep 2024 03:28:40 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Openbox 3.6.1-11

After googling I found a similar report which suggested disabling ipv6, so I tried that:
Code: [Select]
$ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=32cf26e7-4543-4250-b699-67f6ec1d03a8 rw ipv6.disable=1 resume=/dev/sda3 loglevel=3 intel_idle.max_cstate=1
No change

I thought it was the Linux upgrade, so I downgraded with no change.

If anyone can help me out I would be very grateful.

This may not help but I would try keeping a terminal window open with this running
Code: [Select]
sudo dmesg -w -l debug+
Then see if there are any messages when the freezes occur ?

Or it may be worth downgrading the kernel (and headers) back to the one before the update (6.10.10.artix1-1)

Sorry for the delay in replying, I did not get any notification

There are no dmesg entries relating to the problem.

I finally tracked it down to an upgrade on 7th October of picom to v12.1-3, downgrading to v11.2-1 fixed it.
