Kernel Panic on macOS (crash, reboot)

I don’t know if we can blow the trumpets yet, but anecdotally it hasn’t happened to me for a long time now. Probably 2-3 months at least. I’m on macOS 12.0.1 now on an M1 Mac Mini.

Cautiously adding myself to this list. No KP since last time I reported. I am sticking to only one external monitor, updated to Monterrey. Hoping things stay this way.

I’ve had a couple in the last few days - always on external monitor. It does generally seem better, though.

Hasn’t happened to me for the 1.5 month since I switched to a new MacBook Pro with M1 Pro chip and MacOS Monterey. No KP whatsoever, with or without Citation plugin, with or without external monitor. Finger crossed!

Obsidian was just chilling in the background when the entire computer shut down and showed the kernel panic message.

Steps to reproduce

No idea. I opened Obsidian to check out the new live preview mode, then hopped on a Zoom meeting.

Expected result

Well, I expect my computer not to crash…

Actual result

I got a kernel panic. After several hours of the meeting (and running Obsidian in the background) everything just shut down. The crash reporter then mentioned Obsidian Helper in the report.

Environment

  • Operating system: macOS 10.15.7
  • Obsidian version: v0.13.14

Additional information

Full crash report: Obsidian v0.13.14 crash - Pastebin.com

I would never want to force you into getting macOS Monterey as a fix but i would like to make you aware that i have not gotten any panics while using macOS 12.0.1. It seems apple might have already addressed other issues that ended up just fixing this. i do however get occasional moments where obsidian stays frozen when i try fixing up my theme various times with constant saves or am loading up a lot of plugins and testing them (that is expected from me of course).

I did not see this happening on my MBP-M1 and MBA-M1. Not in macOS 11 or 12. So maybe good to use Big Sur or Monterey macOS while using Obsidian.

Sad to report I’m now a member of the crash club… :frowning: I’ve been using Obsidian for at least a year now and it has never crashed my system. Twice this past week I have had my system crash with the:

Process name corresponding to current thread: Obsidian Helper (Renderer)

Mac OS version:
20G165

Reported. Happy to provide the full report. Super bummed by this new to me issue I have been a dedicated Obsidian user for quite a while but full system crashes on my work system are just not acceptable.

Running Mac OS Big Sur 11.6
Obsidian 0.13.20

Just had a kernel panic on MacOS 11.6. If I kill the Renderer script, I get the white screen. And if I run it without gpu, I get the following error messages:

Sadly, I think I’ll have to upgrade to Monterey and see if that fixes the issue.

Hello everybody. I am going to close this BR. If you still encounter a kernel panic and you have MacOSX>12.1 open a new bug report.

Adding one thing: the problem did indeed replicate in Monterey. However, it stopped when I turned off the Admonition plugin. Seems like everything else works just fine.
