jspiro Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 Has anyone else experienced kernel panics out of nowhere after updating Alfred, in Mac 10.15.1 (19B88)? I technically had one kernel panic prior to upgrading, since upgrading to Catalina, but I had THREE today since updating to 4.0.6, and I think they occurred while or shortly after interacting with Alfred. I haven't had kernel panics in YEARS up until the last two weeks. Could be a total coincidence, as I use alfred nonstop, but gotta start somewhere. --- Here's the dump: panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff8006262e0a): Kernel trap at 0xffffff7f8939734e, type 6=invalid opcode, registers: CR0: 0x000000008001003b, CR2: 0x00000001096946b0, CR3: 0x000000000b50d000, CR4: 0x00000000001626e0 RAX: 0x0000000000000000, RBX: 0x0000000000000000, RCX: 0x0000000000000000, RDX: 0xffffff923ca63ba0 RSP: 0xffffff923ca63d10, RBP: 0xffffff923ca63d10, RSI: 0x0000000000000503, RDI: 0xffffff802ba21a00 R8: 0x0000000000000000, R9: 0x0000000000989680, R10: 0x0000000000000000, R11: 0x0000000000000003 R12: 0x0000000000000004, R13: 0xffffff802ba96110, R14: 0xffffff923ca63d30, R15: 0xffffff802ba96110 RFL: 0x0000000000010286, RIP: 0xffffff7f8939734e, CS: 0x0000000000000008, SS: 0x0000000000000010 Fault CR2: 0x00000001096946b0, Error code: 0x0000000000000000, Fault CPU: 0x2, PL: 0, VF: 0 Backtrace (CPU 2), Frame : Return Address 0xffffff923ca63770 : 0xffffff8006139a3b 0xffffff923ca637c0 : 0xffffff8006270fe5 0xffffff923ca63800 : 0xffffff8006262a5e 0xffffff923ca63850 : 0xffffff80060e0a40 0xffffff923ca63870 : 0xffffff8006139127 0xffffff923ca63970 : 0xffffff800613950b 0xffffff923ca639c0 : 0xffffff80068d17f9 0xffffff923ca63a30 : 0xffffff8006262e0a 0xffffff923ca63bb0 : 0xffffff8006262b08 0xffffff923ca63c00 : 0xffffff80060e0a40 0xffffff923ca63c20 : 0xffffff7f8939734e 0xffffff923ca63d10 : 0xffffff7f892f7490 0xffffff923ca63d50 : 0xffffff7f89305655 0xffffff923ca63da0 : 0xffffff7f8928e6db 0xffffff923ca63e10 : 0xffffff7f87229966 0xffffff923ca63e60 : 0xffffff7f87237438 0xffffff923ca63ea0 : 0xffffff7f87236bf8 0xffffff923ca63ee0 : 0xffffff80068401bd 0xffffff923ca63f30 : 0xffffff800683eb02 0xffffff923ca63f70 : 0xffffff800683e08c 0xffffff923ca63fa0 : 0xffffff80060e013e Kernel Extensions in backtrace: com.apple.iokit.IOAcceleratorFamily2(438.2.7)[72B8A0B5-E12C-3764-9187-0AC0E93416F9]@0xffffff7f87225000->0xffffff7f872e8fff dependency: com.apple.driver.AppleMobileFileIntegrity(1.0.5)[180FC5AB-0E47-35BC-91DF-609EBE8ED4A5]@0xffffff7f86def000 dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.9)[AA7C7A4F-9F5D-3533-9E78-177C3B6A72BF]@0xffffff7f86ea2000 dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOSurface(269.6)[39DC4195-B168-3895-ACD5-E731581855F8]@0xffffff7f87195000 dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(568)[247C211E-C250-351C-BCE2-4DB9D3003E10]@0xffffff7f871c6000 dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOReportFamily(47)[2CCA7DD3-C33F-3CA4-A213-BC83D3D997B0]@0xffffff7f86a9f000 com.apple.kext.AMDRadeonX4000(3.0.2)[1E092428-A3E6-3063-B692-B943B1565B91]@0xffffff7f89285000->0xffffff7f896cafff dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.9)[AA7C7A4F-9F5D-3533-9E78-177C3B6A72BF]@0xffffff7f86ea2000 dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOSurface(269.6)[39DC4195-B168-3895-ACD5-E731581855F8]@0xffffff7f87195000 dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(568)[247C211E-C250-351C-BCE2-4DB9D3003E10]@0xffffff7f871c6000 dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOAcceleratorFamily2(438.2.7)[72B8A0B5-E12C-3764-9187-0AC0E93416F9]@0xffffff7f87225000 BSD process name corresponding to current thread: kernel_task Mac OS version: 19B88 Kernel version: Darwin Kernel Version 19.0.0: Thu Oct 17 16:17:15 PDT 2019;

jspiro Posted November 9, 2019 Author Posted November 9, 2019 I'm more and more confident now that Alfred 4.0.6 is the cause. Five panics in a row only when interacting with Alfred. I have a video but it's not that interesting. It's happening more frequently and I noticed Spotlight is indexing while it happens. Tends to happen when I try to open Alfred preferences or reveal a file. Haven't seen it happen when searching and opening a file. Gonna try to downgrade to 4.0.5 from a backup and see if it keeps happening.
jspiro Posted November 9, 2019 Author Posted November 9, 2019 After downgrading the endless panics stopped almost immediately for two hours. I just had one again with version 4.0.5 when switching apps. Again, it might be nothing but coincidences, but I did have at least one panic recently on 4.0.5, though that could have been related to Catalina. It appeared that 4.0.6 made it substantially worse since I had half a dozen more after upgrading. I don't know how to read the logs, but it seems related to the GPU. Perhaps the GPU switching on in Alfred could be an issue (if it uses it)? Some apps like to turn it on and off sort of randomly. 15" 2015 MBP, so discrete graphics. I'll continue observing.
deanishe Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 1 hour ago, jspiro said: it seems related to the GPU Try changing your Alfred theme. In particular, try one without any transparency.
Andrew Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 A few things of note here: Alfred runs as a user level process, and doesn't install any lower level OS based extensions, so isn't even capable of creating a kernel panic. This is unless one of the macOS APIs Alfred is using is bugged or corrupted, more likely the latter as this is the first mention of this I've heard. There is no underlying rendering differences between 4.0.5 and 4.0.6, so I'm certain that the behaviour difference is purely coincidental. A few users have seen graphics bugs in Catalina in both the Alfred window and the macOS dropdown and popup menus (where Alfred isn't installed) based around the window blur. If you select the Alfred Classic theme (or create a custom theme and set the window blur to 0), then this will rule out the blur causing a GPU issue. Have you tried running on a new user account to rule out another underlying app (which you may not even know is installed) interfering with your Mac's operation. Kernel panics are unusual, but Catalina is new and notoriously buggy still. If you upgraded via an old OS, or via the macOS Beta path, there may be an underlying OS corruption or misconfiguration. Are there other quirks you are experiencing on your Mac? Cheers, Andrew Ryan Lv 1
jspiro Posted November 10, 2019 Author Posted November 10, 2019 All good points. I'm sharing here just to see if anyone else experiences it too, since these are notoriously hard to track down the source, and it did seem that I was able to reproduce it reasonably well a few times in a row. Note that I'm a software engineer, so I'm working this problem pretty hard on my end. Good call on the standard theme–I'll give that a shot and see if it keeps happening. Entirely possible my GPU is having hardware issues and it's causing panics. I'm doing a backup clone now as well and considering trying the next OS beta... a bit risky, but can hardly be worse than nonstop panics while I work. Will keep you apprised if I learn anything. Hope it's the OS and not Alfred 🙂
jspiro Posted November 10, 2019 Author Posted November 10, 2019 ...and just as quickly as I sent that, I quit everything, and was toying with Alfred themes and transparency... and as soon as I engaged Alfred and it popped up... panic. It may not be the cause but it does appear to directly be the trigger after about a dozen panics.
Fish Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 I am also getting the same when invoking the Alfred Hotkey to start a search. I get the window, but it does not let me type and reboots. More than half a dozen times in one day only after upgrading to 10.15.1. Reset cache and Metadata; no change. Disabled Alfred (ver 4.06 [1124]), went back to spotlight and no issues for two days since. Trying the theme change...
Vero Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 @jspiro @Fish Have you reported the kernel panic issues to Apple? Catalina is a brand new OS with numerous quirks still, so while you both may be seeing the issue exhibited most when Alfred is running, there will be something underlying in macOS that's choking and causing the kernel panic. You might've been unlucky and a little something is corrupted in macOS, especially if you upgraded from a previous OS or the beta. We take bug reports very seriously, but we also know Alfred inside out. Alfred does not run at a low enough level to cause kernel panics. Additionally, to the best of my memory (and I handle all Alfred email and Twitter user support, as well as keep a close eye on this forum), these are the only two reports we've had since Catalina's betas were released in the summer, so it's far from a widespread issue. Your best bet at this point is to raise a bug report with Apple; The earlier in the development cycle they are aware of it, the more likely action will be taken. We'll continue to monitor this thread and situation, and will update if we get any more information about this. Cheers, Vero
jspiro Posted November 19, 2019 Author Posted November 19, 2019 Yes, I've reported them multiple times. I'm not at all blaming Alfred–there's simply a useful correlation. My guess it's something with the Spotlight APIs y'all are using. I have had a bunch of instances lately where applications don't show up in Alfred even if the system is indexed (and they show up in Spotlight). They show up *eventually*, weirdly enough. FWIW since I updated to 10.15.2 Beta (19C32e), I have not had one panic. THAT SAID, I also changed my theme to include no transparency, so I can only say one of those two actions helped. Thanks Vero!
bchrobot Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 I am also experiencing this issue a few times a day. I have the same system model, kernel version, and OS version as @jspiro. I will try changing to a theme with no transparency and follow up if that stops the panics. If not then I will try upgrading to 10.15.2 Beta and testing that. For removing transparency from the theme, I duplicated the Alfred macOS theme and then set the color to fully opaque for: window window border selected result background search background search text selected search text background selected search text Is there anything else I am missing? Or a specific theme from someone else to use? I searched on the forums but did not find anything specifically advertising being fully opaque.
Andrew Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 @bchrobot no need to remove all transparency, just the background blur... you can do this from the little fuzzy dot icon in the top left of the theme editor.
Neulsaem Ha Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 MacOS: 10.15.1 (19B88) Alfred: 4.0.6 [1124] I use Alfred to open an application a lot. And sometimes when I try to open a new app, after typing one letter, the alfred freezes and then makes the whole macbook crash. So I have to restart. Anyone having the same issue? Plus, how can I upload a crash log?
Vero Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 @Neulsaem Ha I've merged your post into this thread, as it seems to be the same issue. Take a look at Andrew's response above for more details: Cheers, Vero
Yago Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 I also had at least one kernel panic per day (peak at 15) since I move to Catalina and it always happens when I'm interacting with Alfred. It's really annoying because it's really hard not to use Alfred ^^'
Vero Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 @Yago Did you take a look at the thread above and follow Andrew's suggestions to choose a theme without background blur, or set the background blur of your theme to zero? Cheers, Vero
Nikita Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 Have the same problem, kernel panic regularly happens when I open Alfred, write search query and hit enter. Then everything froze and macos restarts. I've read the topic and understand that Alfred can't cause kernel panic by himself, but maybe it calls some os api that leads to panic. I use MacOS 10.15.1 as well as other and macbook pro 2015. I'll try to change a theme and comeback with updates :) Here is panic log, maybe it could help with future investigation panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff800a662e0a): Kernel trap at 0xffffff7f8da5834e, type 6=invalid opcode, registers: CR0: 0x000000008001003b, CR2: 0x0000000118b076b0, CR3: 0x000000000f881000, CR4: 0x00000000001626e0 RAX: 0x0000000000000000, RBX: 0x0000000000000000, RCX: 0x0000000000000000, RDX: 0xffffff9232b23ba0 RSP: 0xffffff9232b23d10, RBP: 0xffffff9232b23d10, RSI: 0x0000000000000503, RDI: 0xffffff802eb30a00 R8: 0x0000000000000000, R9: 0x0000000000989680, R10: 0x0000000000000000, R11: 0x0000000000000003 R12: 0x0000000000000004, R13: 0xffffff802eb12af0, R14: 0xffffff9232b23d30, R15: 0xffffff802eb12af0 RFL: 0x0000000000010286, RIP: 0xffffff7f8da5834e, CS: 0x0000000000000008, SS: 0x0000000000000010 Fault CR2: 0x0000000118b076b0, Error code: 0x0000000000000000, Fault CPU: 0x2, PL: 0, VF: 0 Backtrace (CPU 2), Frame : Return Address 0xffffff9232b23770 : 0xffffff800a539a3b 0xffffff9232b237c0 : 0xffffff800a670fe5 0xffffff9232b23800 : 0xffffff800a662a5e 0xffffff9232b23850 : 0xffffff800a4e0a40 0xffffff9232b23870 : 0xffffff800a539127 0xffffff9232b23970 : 0xffffff800a53950b 0xffffff9232b239c0 : 0xffffff800acd17f9 0xffffff9232b23a30 : 0xffffff800a662e0a 0xffffff9232b23bb0 : 0xffffff800a662b08 0xffffff9232b23c00 : 0xffffff800a4e0a40 0xffffff9232b23c20 : 0xffffff7f8da5834e 0xffffff9232b23d10 : 0xffffff7f8d9b8490 0xffffff9232b23d50 : 0xffffff7f8d9c6655 0xffffff9232b23da0 : 0xffffff7f8d94f6db 0xffffff9232b23e10 : 0xffffff7f8b95d966 0xffffff9232b23e60 : 0xffffff7f8b96b438 0xffffff9232b23ea0 : 0xffffff7f8b96abf8 0xffffff9232b23ee0 : 0xffffff800ac401bd 0xffffff9232b23f30 : 0xffffff800ac3eb02 0xffffff9232b23f70 : 0xffffff800ac3e08c 0xffffff9232b23fa0 : 0xffffff800a4e013e Kernel Extensions in backtrace: com.apple.iokit.IOAcceleratorFamily2(438.2.7)[72B8A0B5-E12C-3764-9187-0AC0E93416F9]@0xffffff7f8b959000->0xffffff7f8ba1cfff dependency: com.apple.driver.AppleMobileFileIntegrity(1.0.5)[180FC5AB-0E47-35BC-91DF-609EBE8ED4A5]@0xffffff7f8b591000 dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.9)[AA7C7A4F-9F5D-3533-9E78-177C3B6A72BF]@0xffffff7f8af2f000 dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOSurface(269.6)[39DC4195-B168-3895-ACD5-E731581855F8]@0xffffff7f8b8c9000 dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(568)[247C211E-C250-351C-BCE2-4DB9D3003E10]@0xffffff7f8b8fa000 dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOReportFamily(47)[2CCA7DD3-C33F-3CA4-A213-BC83D3D997B0]@0xffffff7f8b2c8000 com.apple.kext.AMDRadeonX4000(3.0.2)[1E092428-A3E6-3063-B692-B943B1565B91]@0xffffff7f8d946000->0xffffff7f8dd8bfff dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.9)[AA7C7A4F-9F5D-3533-9E78-177C3B6A72BF]@0xffffff7f8af2f000 dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOSurface(269.6)[39DC4195-B168-3895-ACD5-E731581855F8]@0xffffff7f8b8c9000 dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(568)[247C211E-C250-351C-BCE2-4DB9D3003E10]@0xffffff7f8b8fa000 dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOAcceleratorFamily2(438.2.7)[72B8A0B5-E12C-3764-9187-0AC0E93416F9]@0xffffff7f8b959000 BSD process name corresponding to current thread: kernel_task Mac OS version: 19B88 Kernel version: Darwin Kernel Version 19.0.0: Thu Oct 17 16:17:15 PDT 2019;

Ryan Lv Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 My Alfred cause Macbook crash more than 4 time in one day, so frustrated.
Ryan Lv Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) On 11/9/2019 at 7:42 PM, Andrew said: A few things of note here: Alfred runs as a user level process, and doesn't install any lower level OS based extensions, so isn't even capable of creating a kernel panic. This is unless one of the macOS APIs Alfred is using is bugged or corrupted, more likely the latter as this is the first mention of this I've heard. There is no underlying rendering differences between 4.0.5 and 4.0.6, so I'm certain that the behaviour difference is purely coincidental. A few users have seen graphics bugs in Catalina in both the Alfred window and the macOS dropdown and popup menus (where Alfred isn't installed) based around the window blur. If you select the Alfred Classic theme (or create a custom theme and set the window blur to 0), then this will rule out the blur causing a GPU issue. Have you tried running on a new user account to rule out another underlying app (which you may not even know is installed) interfering with your Mac's operation. Kernel panics are unusual, but Catalina is new and notoriously buggy still. If you upgraded via an old OS, or via the macOS Beta path, there may be an underlying OS corruption or misconfiguration. Are there other quirks you are experiencing on your Mac? Cheers, Andrew I changed my theme to Alfred classic theme, hope it works. Edited December 6, 2019 by Ryan Lv
SheriffCarter Posted December 8, 2019 Posted December 8, 2019 I have the same issue, kernel panic several times a day with Catalina. It used to happen with Path Finder as well till recently, they fixed it. It has to do with some GPU animation on Catalina, as I understand. I hope you will be able to fix it soon, it's very frustrating. For me it happens every 2-3-4 time I call Alfred window to input something.

Cheers, Vero Thank you Vero, I'll try. Will it be fixed in the upcoming releases for other Themes?

You can duplicate any of the default themes and remove the blur. We're keeping an eye out to establish what proportion of users are affected (it seems to be a small minority) and work out whether it's necessary to modify built-in themes Cheers, Vero
