  • Starange behaviour for kernels > 6.12.x

    From Kamil Jo?ca@3:633/10 to All on Friday, June 05, 2026 21:40:01

    Hi.
    Sorry for vague description, but I have strange problem with newer
    kernels.

    Debian sid box.
    inn2 on it. News are read with gnus, working on the same machine.
    With kernels 6.12 (and older) everything works ok.
    But with newer kernels (I noticed 6.18,7.0.4,7.0.10) after some time,
    when checking groups ("g") gnus hangs with message about "read 68k "

    Does anyone have similar problem?

    What do you have in gnus-select-method and gnus-secondary-select-methods ?
    Do you check your Messages buffer ?
    If there is nothing in Messages you could get more informations with some
    of those :
    ;;(setq imap-debug t)
    ;;(setq pop3-debug t)
    ;;(setq nnimap-debug t)
    ;;(setq nnmail-debug t)
    ;;(setq nnml-debug t)
    ;;(setq nntp-debug t)
    ;;(setq gnus-verbose 9)
    ;;(setq gnus-verbose-backends 8)
    ;;(setq smtpmail-debug-info t)
    ;;(setq smtpmail-debug-verb t)
    ;;(setq gnutls-log-level 2)

    When gnus hangs, can you use "C-g" to cancel the hanging operation? If
    so, you can get a backtrace of the hanging function for debugging: You
    can enable debug-on-quit by "M-x toggle-debug-on-quit", wait for the
    next hang, press "C-g", and you'll get a backtrace in another buffer to
    see what is the last function that is hanging. You can paste the content
    of that buffer here to help debugging.
