Here to report a kernel panic after updating to the latest version.

The crash occurred when I was changing fonts via the Style Settings plugin. Same general error as before:

Damn, that’s a shame. Just confirm: you re-downloaded Obsidian from the website right?

#124

Correct, I’m on the latest installer and app versions

I’m still experiencing kernel panics with installer version 0.12.3. They seem to be less frequent but still happen. It’s hard to qualify when exactly they happen but as long as I’m working in one file, it seems to happen less frequently. When I quickly jump back and forth between many files, it seems to happen more frequently.

I just had the first reboot after upgrading to the lastest version. This happen when I clicked upgrade “Dataview” plugin. At the end of the update process it reboot.

The Obsidian developers keep an eye on the electron issue

2 weeks ago a developer of another app found a workaround, but only time will tell if this will solve the problem, The working solution appears to be to start file watching via ipc
which is in line with this post Electron causing kernel panic on OS X Catalina · Issue #26023 · electron/electron · GitHub
(which is not easy to change from how currently this is done in Obsidian, it was discussed a few posts above)

  • I never experienced KP due to using Obsidian on my old Intel MacBook Pro, but I am monitoring this topic bc I want to switch to Apple Silicon mac soon
  • I don’t know if this is relevant, but last year I started experiencing sudden crashes on my Intel 2014 MacBook Pro (it was probably due to low voltage problem in Haswell processor and MacOS instruction set), I installed one of the scripts from this topic and since then my Intel mac never crashed

Not sure if it’s still helpful to continue reporting but I just had two crashes within an hour. Strangely, this time, I was actually just working on one file. No jumping around. No linking. Just trying to write text.

This is becoming slightly annoying.

What can I do to reduce these?

I’ve reset SMC and NVRAM and running the latest installer version 0.12.3 on MacOS 10.15.7.

What’s the latest best practices to avoid these crashes? Am I missing anything?

I don’t think there’s much you can do, unfortunately. I know it’s not explicitly Obsidian’s fault that it happens, but I would love for this to patched in at least the coming year. While it only affects some users, I think it’s still a very disruptive bug, which we have no control over.

Side-note: have you ever experienced Obsidian not saving the file you are working on and the changes are “lost” when you switch to another file?

(I am trying to understand if there is a connection with another report)

Had 2 kernel panics with insider 12.4 and they were so bad that they made my MacBook Pro 2018 13 inch do a complete restart two times yesterday out of no where.

I had coastal theme, my own snippet and 50 plugins installed.

Today my css snippets wouldn’t load even after quitting and reloading the app. It was so bad.

I just updated to Mac OS 11.4 and did a complete uninstall of obsidian and all plugins in .obsidian and am now on obsidian 0.12.3 I feel like im on a whole different obsidian!

What I learned is to make sure to quit Obsidian EVERY time I wake up my laptop from sleeping. Obsidian doesn’t play nicely if you start using it after it goes to sleep.

No… Not that I know of or can remember …

#133

Yes, I experienced it several times, but I don’t remember did I switch to another file when it happened. I will notice it next time.
The situation is: I found I can’t type, paste images, or open other note-> cmd+R → Obsidian restart (sometimes close the windows ) → The change in 10~20 minutes disappeared, and I couldn’t find any changelog in my version history of Obsidian Sync and Dropbox.

By the way, I seldom met the Kernel Panic now, only 3 times from 2 months till now.

#134

Yes, it happened to me in the first day of use in a vault imported from Windows to macOS 11.1. My setup is with a custom theme, a couple of snippets (bullet list with lines, horizontal tabs, invisible scroll bar), and the DataView and Calendar plugin. No cloud storage, all local.

I was typing in a note, and added a link to an existing note. I right-click on it and instead of seeing the Obsidian default drop-down list, I got the macOS right-click droplist. So I CMD+R, and when the program reloaded, the changes I had done in the last few minutes were gone. Of course, the file recovery Snapshot was inexistent.

Didn’t happen again for a while, but it’s a bit scary. I kind of write my notes afraid of it now. :sweat_smile:

Sympathy to every affected by this. Reading this thread from start to finish sucks. But at the same time it’s a bit thrilling, like game of thrones leading up the Battle of Winterfell.

Who is the Night King?? Will Jon and Daenerys defeat his army of the dead???

Just had a kernel panic on my Mac Mini 2018:
System version: MacOS Catalina 10.15.7
Obsidian version: v0.12.9 (installer v0.12.3)

The crash report (see below) points to Obsidian Helper. I experience very frequent kernel panics recently, and this is my 3rd time today, but I didn’t think to check the crash report until now. Will keep that in mind and follow up if there’s more KP pointing to Obsidian.

Had another one pointing to Obsidian Helper. I avoided using Obsidian desktop for the last few days. I used Obsidian Mobile most of the time (and occasionally desktop for a few minutes ) and had no KP on my computer. Just now I opened Ob desktop for like 20 min and it caused a KP.

#138

Just had several kernel panics in a row - new user of Obsidian, just downloaded yesterday on a 2020 16" Intel MacbookPro. Not many plugins (Citations, Dataview), most crashes happened on default Dark theme, now I’m on Minimal.

I think there’s a correlation with pasting in text from other programs, but can’t be sure.

I’ve been having continued crashes here (approx 4 per day). I’m not managing to find good reports, though - nothing at all relevant in Console under Crash Reports or Diagnostic Reports. It’s a hard hang, machine instantly turns off.

I’m starting to become suspicious of interaction with the Citations plug-in - it’s often after adding or looking at a link to a literature note.

One other point - I’ve got my Vault in a Dropbox folder. I’m going to stop syncing for a while, and see if that helps…

(stopping Dropbox sync did not stop the crashes…)
