Hashcat experiences and error after pause and suspend
#1
Hello,

I was going for supper and noticed that the wholesale price of power was a little high, so I decided to pause the active hashing, and suspend the computer.

I got the following messages (the displays went to sleep, but the computer did not suspend properly):
Code:

It has been stuck burning 100% of a CPU core for 39 minutes now (based on total CPU time reported by 'top').

Looks like restarting the computer solved the issue.

System was in a half-upgraded state (with deferred reboot).

Reboot could have solved whatever soft lock-up was happening too.

Edit: Even tried MOVING the restore file. Apparently that was not the issue.
