Hi folks,
By locked I mean that I can't get a response from the mouse and that the time on the top bar, which I have set to include seconds, stops incrementing. I've found from a search REISUB and on hitting the R the system has been released, although more often than not I have to complete the sequence. However on the last occurrence I tried not even the keyboard worked so it was power off and start again. So which logs should I be looking in to ascertain what is going on as this is obviously extremely irritating? Please spell it out in idiot terms as I'm not a linux expert, thanks :-) -- My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language.

Look in /var/log/syslog after you reboot and look back to before the boot start. I suspect you may find that it just stopped suddenly.

Stuff to try in order of ease: • Press Ctrl+Alt+(F2-F6) This should get you a text screen. You can log in here to do text-only stuff, updates, reboot etc. A simple Ctrl+Alt+Del here reboots cleanly. • Install the openssh-server If you have another computer on the same network, you can connect to the "frozen" one remotely from a command prompt, stop tasks etc. If you know the terminal. • Try switching from X.org to Wayland or the reverse Use the options button on the login screen. If you don't have a login screen, Google for how to enable it. • Check your motherboard firmware is up to date. If it is not, update it. -- Liam Proven – Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: [hidden email] – gMail/gTalk/gHangouts: [hidden email] Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn/Flickr: lproven – Skype: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 – ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053 -- ubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |
