I really need help, its been a month trying to fix this. KThreadd problems, stuck processes.

Show us the errors - take a photo with your phone even and post that. Else run this command from a terminal after you get errors and we'll see if that has anything relevant.

Code:

dmesg | tail -n 25

Post the errors. Copying and pasting the error would be best. A photo or screenshot would do if pasting the error isn't possible.

zzremix · 09-28-2016, 07:23 PM

its going to take awhile bro i just reformatted the computer and it starts it over. i'm sorry man. i forget shit. i suffer some bullshit. These came from a virtual box instance. A program was crashing and i kept opening it. Those are when those appeared. The virtual box that it came from is long gone. Its wiped quite a few times trying to fix this issue. When i look at the gparted application, it shows a small partion, i don't if thats is something or thats normal? i wasn't sure.

dugan · 09-28-2016, 07:24 PM

Okay. If it happens again, have the error messages ready to post.

Heres some errors man, i missed the thread with the code in it. is this something you can work with bud?

zzremix · 09-28-2016, 07:27 PM

i truly just needed that command line this whole time this month. i couldn't find that anywhere. i looked a lot places. lol so uh thanks i guess. i mean that were that we're associated with the kthreadd.

syg00 · 09-28-2016, 07:56 PM

No, they are real hardware errors on your second CD drive. Do you have anything in that drive ?. If so eject it, and if not, you need to get that drive checked - and its connections.
Best bet might be to disable it in the BIOS.

As for the kernel threads, they may look like a problem, but it is probably because the CD drive is generating so many errors. The kernel thread(s) is probably the interrupt handler and is constantly being called. But the problem is the hardware, the high %CPU in kthread is usually merely a symptom of a problem somewhere else.

zzremix · 09-28-2016, 08:01 PM

aw that sucks, thats is so disappointing. yeah i know thats broken i just haven't taken it out.

bro i'm not lieing about the virtual box thing. it happened then. and they have been stuck since then. everything says its possible. i don't know how through hard reboots and everything. i don't get it. they are from that. but i read you have to like turn them back on.. give em a signal someway somehow. i don't know man. the errors are drive errors as i install stuff. i don't understand what you are going to get from that.

that cd has been plugged since i got that computer a year and half ago bud. it wasn't throwing errors like that ever until i did the virtual thing.

syg00 · 09-29-2016, 01:02 AM

Pull the drive out, throw it away, get on with life.

zzremix · 09-29-2016, 02:07 AM

Hey i took the drive out hours ago and its still there though, thanks for the worldly advice i guess? i told you where it came from bud.

You know i'm not trying to be a dick, but it did come from a virtual box instance. What i read is it is stuck on the HDD or some hardware somewhere waiting for a signal to get unstuck. That is basically what is going on here.

JeremyBoden · 09-29-2016, 08:48 AM

Try removing the bad hardware and reboot your PC.

Does the problem still exist?

zzremix · 09-29-2016, 08:55 AM

That i already did my friend. It didn't help at all, i really didn't think it would but i did it like yesterday afternoon after something was said.

JeremyBoden · 09-29-2016, 09:11 AM

Are the new errors different?
You need to track down the problem in a tedious but systematic way.

Is there anything unusual about your PC's hardware?

zzremix · 09-29-2016, 09:41 AM

Thats a good idea, i'll show you the "dmesg | tail -n 25" this is what is here now. If there is other terminal commands let me know me please.

I mean i unplugged and that is still showing up. The usb. But i don't see anything in here that is helpful.

If it sits to long man i said it corrupts the HDD and i have to reformat and reinstall the os. But all the hardware in my computer is legit i have had it for a two years. It is very nice gaming computer. But yeah man. I mean i don't i have reached out to so many people now. This is nuts.

zzremix · 09-29-2016, 09:48 AM

Is it possible to get hold of the master of the linux kernal.

I do have a question though. Is it normal that there is a tiny little partion in the HDD. I could not delete it at all. I was only like 1.4mb or something.
