F37 Freezes after roughly 10 minutes of use

Hello,

Fedora 37 is freezing within roughly ten minutes of being powered on. By freezing, I mean the mouse pointer stops moving entirely, and audio cuts out after a few seconds.

ctrl+alt f3-5 sometimes works to switch to a tty, but often does not. Once in tty, I can enter my username and password when prompted, and the “last log in at:XXXXX” appears, but the username@hostname prompt never appears, it just hangs on a blinking cursor.

sshing into the machine when it is in this state either hangs when connecting, or does the same as above.

I have tried disabling all GNOME extensions and booting to an older kernel, yet the freezes persist.

Checking journalctl -r, I see that just before the freeze, pipewire-pulse prints

spa.loop: 0x55b4c12be118: queue full 88, need 152

hundreds of times. I’ve included the output of journalctl from today, you can see one such freeze at Jan 11 16:39:48

Any help debugging from here would be appreciated!

Can you provide more information about your hardware, please?

i7 4790k, GTX 1060, Focusrite 2i2.

Pipewire and pipewire-pulseaudio are from the normal @System repo. What would be the best way to get more info about the error? I found only one other person with the same issue and they abandoned their thread.

Please post (as preformatted text using the </> button) the output of inxi -Fzxx so we may see more detailed info.

I found the issue, it appears to happen when I run out of memory due (presumably) a memory leak in nextcloud-client.

I diagnosed it by managing to ctrl+f5 into tty5 as soon as I noticed the cursor start skipping, then quickly logging in and running journalctl, where there were some messages about applications being killed due to memory pressure. Next I was able to run htop and see the offending program eating all my RAM.

You are correct. Here’s the issue upstream:
