Hello

With the kernel from linux-generic-hwe-16.04-edge, I was able to obtain in one crash the part of a log file which I was unable before, but corrupted the content after this. This new part refers to a file called swapops.h.

I have attached the syslog file with the new information. As in the other times, this is the valid data, as the rest of the syslog ended corrupted (it appears ################# on LibreOffice and \00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\ on gedit). At 16:17, cron run and the system is fine. At 16:39, the system locked and I waited some time, until I turned the computer off.

I am not a developer, but from what I understood, the swap operation is the cause of this, and the ALSA error is a consequence of the swap error. This is happening with Starbound when teleporting so frequently because while it loads the map, it could start to use swap memory, and then this crash happens.

Also, this explains why the computer recovers itself rarely. The operations which triggered it had ended, so the system was able to recover. With the game opened, the operations are always happening, so it would never recover.

I hope this interpretation is correct.

Thank you.
