CentOS8 nouveau errors

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I am running the stream version of CentOS 8 on a system that hosts a bunch of VirtualBox guests.    Recently, like about a month ago, a problem started showing up.  When working at the console, the system is almost completely unresponsive.  In a terminal session, any key that you press might show up a minute later.  Any mouse movement might show up a minute later.  

About every ten seconds the screen switches to a completely different display for maybe a few tens of milliseconds and then switches back.  This happens so fast it is almost subliminal.

The log fills with tens of thousands of messages per day that look like this:

The daily logwatch report has thousands of lines like this:

With all VB guests stopped, htop shows CPU usage in the range of 1% or less.  Sessions opened by ssh run normally.  Sessions opened to a guest with xrdp run normally.  Guests do not report any errors in their log files.

Where do I begin to troubleshoot something like this?
