I'm running Mint 18 on a Dell i7 and I have this annoying issue that I can't find where its coming from.



Every 30 seconds the display freezes for about 0.5 seconds. The issue is persistent and happens EXACTLY every 30 seconds (give or take 1 second).



This is particularly annoying when playing a game or watching a movie.



I couldn't isolate the process that may be causing this, but it wasn't there for the first week or so when I installed mint.



It may be worth to mention that I have another PC running Mint 17.1 that has the exact same issue (Also a Dell)



Anyone can think of a process that does something heavy and/or synchronous/blocking every 30 seconds?



I will provide any log file or additional info if anyone has any idea where should I look.



UPDATE:
This does not happen when I CTRL+ALT+F3, even when leaving all the processes alive in the graphical window.

  • thanks, but I already did that and there is no spike. It might be related to Cinnamon itself somehow or just some kind of a blocking process like a remote call that's not done asynchronously.

EDIT: What is crossed out is only a temporary fix. The problem occurred again quickly after. Going to Settings > General > Miscellaneous Options and disabling "Enable support for indicators" fixed the issue for me. I looked in the log ~/.cinnamon/glass.log and found that one of the indicators (owncloud client) kept restarting every 30 seconds, causing the issue.



Alright I solved the issue.



Rename ~/.cinnamon to ~/.cinnamon-bak.



In my case, at least, my version of ~/.cinnamon has been around for a long time. Removing this folder (causing it to be recreated), fixed the issue, and no more lag spikes every 30 seconds!

    Had this problem with Mint 19.1. Noticed I had 2-sec freezes, which got steadily worse with time but upon testing, it affected my account only. So I deleted ~/.cinnamon from the command line. A process list simply had too much to bother isolating the offending program but at any rate, system works perfectly now.
