Debian :: 8.2 With XFCE Constantly Freezing

Oct 30, 2015

So I'm having troublesome issues with Debian 8.2, one of them being really costly to my productivity. This issue started maybe a month or so back, and has been continuing since. Laptop is a Toshiba C50-B-14D

During every freeze all those happen:

Screen freezes (The whole display becomes frozen, with only cursor movement - Time displayed stays frozen too)No keyboard input (even Cap & Num Lock leds will not dim once pressed)Power button (pressing once will do nothing - I have to hold for an unhealthy shutdown and reboot)Touchpad Input Works (Cursor responses to movement only, clicks/change on-hover do not.) Fans become quiet

Today at 11:46, it happened while just running Chromium. At the time:

*XFCE4 Power Management Plugin
Presentation Mode [on]
Charger was connected

Here is the syslog (I know this isn't useful as it doesn't show what's causing the issue) the freeze happened at 11:46 and 11:57 is when I rebooted back into debian.

Code: Select all----------------------CUT------------------

I'm using Debian 6.0 on an Optiplex 960. My system constantly freezes. When I move the mouse (or press a key on the keyboard), my system resumes execution for approximately 2 seconds, and then freezes again. This problem is not restricted to Debian,'ve ncountered similar problems with other linux distributions on my hardware. I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this problem before, or had any ideas about how imight be resolved. I'm copying my hardware information below.CPU INFORMATION

Debian :: 8.3 - External HDD Constantly Unmounting

Mar 30, 2016

Running Debian 8.3.

I have an external hard drive (1TB MyBook) mounted via fstab by UUID to a directory. When copying/writing/reading a lot of files from it, it randomly unmounts and remounts as a different device.

It'll start as /dev/sdb1, I'll set a lot of files to copy to it and then it'll unmount and re-acknowledge itself as /dev/sdc1, the file copying process will crash and the current directory in terminal will display an I/O error. Running mount -a remounts it back to the directory specified in fstab as /dev/sdc1 and the loop continues. If it's just idling, there's no issue, only does this under load.

How can I diagnose what is causing it to unmount?

Debian :: SSL Certificate Constantly Changing

Apr 22, 2011

I use WLM (And yes, I realise odds are this is a problem on microsofts side) and almost every time claws mail connects WLM returns a new certificate. Valid, but I have to constantly accept or deny the certificate. Why is WLM pumping out fresh certs all the time and how can I fix this?

Whenever this pops up whatever I have at the moment shows "Signature status: No certificate issuer found" and the other shows "Signature status: Correct".

Debian :: GDM Constantly Attempting To Login?

Oct 19, 2010

I setup Debian a few days ago and everything was working fine. On a routine reboot to test a start-up script I turned the monitor on and realized that I could not logon to the machine locally. None of my keyboard input was making it to the username field but random things were happening. Every now and then it would say stuff like incorrect username or spontaneously jump to the password input field and then say incorrect password. I've rebooted a couple times, even without a keyboard attatched and still am seeing this. In /var/log/auth.log I show gdm going nuts trying to validate usernames.

Oct 18 12:15:16 Eva gdm[3287]: pam_nologin(gdm:auth): cannot determine username
Oct 18 12:15:16 Eva gdm[3287]: pam_nologin(gdm:auth): cannot determine username

General :: Debian - Run A Script Constantly In Background?

Mar 19, 2011

I have a perl script which runs a mini webserver allowing me to do various things. I'd like to have this script run when the machine starts up, and constantly run in the background.How should I achieve this? I want the script to regardless of whether anyone is logged in or not, so I can't put it in any bash-related files.

Debian :: Wireless Connection Dropping Out Constantly Or Failing Authentication?

Mar 12, 2011

Using Wicd and it keeps dropping out or telling me "bad password" when the password is in fact correct. I even know it works because the first couple of times it worked, but the connection wasn't sustained for more than a few seconds each time. My reasoning is my wireless is functional in Ubuntu, there's no reason it shouldn't be in Debian. Wireless network card is ASUS PCE-N13. Ralink driver is installed. WPA-supplicant is installed. Gnome Network Manager is also present, though I've heard that it doesn't support my particular situation.

Debian Configuration :: The 'freezing' System Of Debian

Nov 15, 2010

How does the 'testing' version of Debian stabilize? I mean, the updates from upstream are very frequent, so if the Debian maintainers upgrade a package till the very end (for e.g if they just upgrade to 2.6.36), when will they get time to test it (so as to freeze it)?

Debian :: Kernel 2.6.26.1 Freezing ?

Jun 4, 2010

I have big problem with my network router with linux freezing.

Motherboard: Intel S5520HC
CPU: 2x Intel Xeon E5520 2.27GHz

router:~# cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.26.1 (root@debian) (gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)) #1 SMP Fri Oct 10 03:51:09 CEST 2008

Avarage utilization only 2-4%. Router performing routing, DHCP server, NAT and shaping for 1000 IP addresses (avg. bandwidth 100Mbps)

This PC freezing once every 2-3 days.

Nothing special in remote syslog but I have bad feelings that the router's time stops before freeze. With cron I ssh (3 times) to router every whole minute and syslog before freeze looks like this:

And freeze. Falling to silicon heaven.

Debian :: Iceweasel / Firefox 4 Is Freezing

Jun 14, 2011

After using Iceweasel/Firefox 4 on Squeeze for a while (an hour or two), the bookmark toolbar becomes unresponsive and sometimes the folders (I have some bookmark folders), when clicked, will open but as soon as I move the cursor to hover over the link (to select it) the menu disappears. I never had the problem with Iceweasel/Firefox 3x. The problem is fixed by restarting the browser but that is not always a good solution nor SHOULD it have to be done.

Debian :: Jesise Freezing (Except Mouse) Gnome 3.14

Aug 13, 2015

Recently with the release of Kali Linux on Aug 11th I have decided to do a clean reinstall and install Kali Linux 2.0 which runs on Jessie Debian using GNOME Shell 3.14.

When my system freezes I am still able to move the mouse and perhaps notably, the cursor still updates from an arrow to a hand icon in certain locations as though it is over a link - though this does not necessarily correspond to where links are actually displayed on the screen. I have seen no response to any keyboard interaction. For a while I have decided to ignore the freezes but they happen far too frequently to be ignored, within an hour my system would freeze up to 10 - 30 times for up to 15+ seconds at a time. The only application I am using when this seems to happen is iceweasel and I cant think of anything else that could be stressing the machine.

Debian :: Diagnose System Freezing Up On Slackware?

i recently switched from slackware to debian because my laptop kept freezing up on slackware, and now it's doing the same on debian on slackware i would get this error in syslog: "hpet: compare register readback failed" at the exact time of lockup, which would leave me with a blinking capslock led indicator, and a completely frozen system (not even magic sysreq sequence would do anything) now on debian, same symptoms only there's nothing in syslog, and no blinking capslock led hardware is: i7 720q intel pm55 chipset nvidia gt 240m laptop model is lenovo ideapad y550p this will occur both in X and at the console i am using my own kernel as the default kernel doesn't support my ethernet adapter i have tried disabling hpet at boot, but there was no difference i have tried the patch posted here

Debian Configuration :: Iwconfig Freezing With Ndiswrapper

Jun 1, 2011

I have a Dlink DWA-142 usb wireless adapter that I am trying to configure on a Debian 6.0 system. I couldn't find any linux drivers for this card so I used ndiswrapper. The drivers (latest xp version from the website) have installed successfully as far as i know because I can see the card and scan for access points using 'iwlist wlan0 scan'.

I tried to use the card with both Wicd and NetworkManager, which both fail to connect to my WPA encrypted wireless router. So after this I went to the command line to find that if I try to connect to the accesspoint using Iwconfig, that the program hangs... as in my terminal does not write a new line because it is waiting for the above command to complete.

I have done:

And the terminal hangs on the above command, so I imagine this is where wicd and network manager were getting stuck too. ndiswrapper is the latest version, compiling from source and reinstalling it made no difference either.

Debian :: Copying Files Very Slow - Freezing After Each File

May 28, 2011

Yesterday pendrives started to misbehave when files are being copied/moved into them: after each major file (like a few hundred megabyte movie) the copying process freezes, stops and doesn't seem to proceed. After a long while (a few minutes), it unfreezes and proceeeds, only to get stuck again on another large file. Thus copying 5 movie files takes half an hour instead of just a few minutes.

The freeze occurs regardless of copying method used: mc (F5), Dolphin, command line cp or mv. During the freeze the process refuses to react to any signals, for example 'killall cp' or 'killall mc' doesn't kill the process, only 'killall -9 mc/cp' works, and also only after a short delay.

This misbehaviour continues across reboots.

What may be the cause of this? Where should I look for the source of the problem or for solution?

This has never occurred before - since I'm on llinux, copying to external devices has always been going smooth and fast. On current Debian this used to be like that as well since install untill yesterday. I don't recall doing anything special to the system yesterday or right before yesterday (I switched from Ubuntu to Debian (squeeze, AMD 64) a week ago).

Debian :: Freezing On First Boot At Loading Initial Ramdisk?

Apr 22, 2011

I just performed my very first linux install. I used the Debian 6.0.1a iso. I made it all the way through the installation with no problems whatsoever. I was able to select the version from the grub screen, still everything seemed to be going fine...then it froze. I attached an image of the screen where the system froze:

Its basically the loading screen, times 4! At the top left in case its too hard to read, it says: Loading Linux 2.6.32-5-686, then...Loading initial ramdisk... This sounds all fine and dandy to me but it freezes here. I've tried searching the forums and google for an answer and have come up empty...I'm sure someone has had this problem but it seems to be a tough thing to search for. Would appreciate all the help I can get! Oh and btw, here are the system specs:

circa 2001ish Dell Dimension 4300
P4 1.4ghz
256 ram
onboard video etc...

Debian Configuration :: Double Mounting Cause System Freezing?

Oct 31, 2015

I have been working with Linux for some time now and moved from "crash-dummy fedora" to LinuxMint and now I'm on Debian 8.I ... The system is freezing and the only way to get it out of freeze is to kill tty7, I log into tty2 as root(which can startx) and kill tty7 via pid...

At first I thought it might be that I have 10 virtual NICs on 1 physical NIC, but after removing them it still freezes after a few minutes of running. Now I am wondering if double mounting/bind causes issues,

Example: drive2 is mounted to profile2/MyStuff, but I also "mount -o bind" a folder inside profile2/ MyStuff/.opera to profile2/.opera..

This is what I mean by double mounting. Does double mounting cause freezing ?Because I have not double mounted, and it hasn't froze yet. and to be honest, I am double mounting/binding several config folders like .mozilla etc...Drives are SSDs, and I created a complete other drive with LinuxMint and it froze the same way after mounts.

Debian Multimedia :: Screen Freezing When Launching Flightgear

Apr 7, 2016

Few days ago I did a major update to Jessie and now I can't use Flightgear simulator. The screen freezes and cannot even switch to another terminal using CTRL+ALT+F1. I can SSH from another machine and see that the CPU is stuck and it has to do with X.org. I bet it's a video driver issue that came with the update.

Did some memory, SSD and video card tests from within Windows and it passed. Flightgear can be loaded on Windows without freezing.

The PC has an integrated Radeon HD 4250 graphics card.

Tried dpkg-reconfigure firmware-linux-nonfree. Flightgear can start but it freezes after a short while. Same happens if I reinstall that package. Without the nonfree driver, I have very low FPS but it works.

Also, I put in another Radeon card (almost same generation) and had the same result: computer freezes completely.

Solved it by upgrading to kernel 4.4. This proves that a bug has been introduced with the latest kernel update. And it tastes like Ubuntu when they break drivers...

Debian Multimedia :: VLC Video Playback Random Freezing

Jul 17, 2010

When I play videos in VLC, the video output seems to randomly freeze while playing the video. This does not effect the audio though. The audio output continues, but with the video frozen on a frame. This is happening in windowed and full-screen mode. I have to use "pkill vlc" each time twice then start VLC again. I have had to resort to mplayer for the time being. I am running squeeze. I was not experiencing this problem before though (started within the past week), so it must be due to some recent upgrade. I have tried "aptitude purge vlc && aptitude install vlc", but I am still experiencing the same problem.

Debian Multimedia :: Desktop Freezing On Left Top Corner Of Jessie

Sep 13, 2015

I've been having a problem with debian lately. It seems that sometimes a rectangular corner on the top left of my screen freezes and shows what was previously there. It goes away when I close all open windows but shows up again if I open multiple applications, especially if I open the terminal and another application. It can become very distracting and makes it impossible to see what is on the top left corner of my screen.

I'm including a screenshot of my desktop.

I am running Debian 8.2 Jessie on an Asus Q400A with 8 GB of RAM. I have an Intel Core i7-3632QM CPU @ 3.2GHz and am using XFCE as my Desktop Environment.

Debian Multimedia :: Epiphany Generally Slow And Freezing With GMail

Mar 26, 2011

A week ago I installed a completely new Debian Squeeze on a newly LUKS encrypted, etx3-formated notebook Acer Extensa 5220. I used main sources only and the only uncommon thing I did so far was to disable ipv6 according to the Debian guide:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=61829

I used Epiphany as my main web browser on Debian Lenny on the same Notebook. Before the last weeks before switching to the Squeeze I experianced the problem, that I couldn't display the freemail-webpage of GMX any more without crashing the browser. After installing the new system I can display GMX again, but now Epiphany freezes as soon as I open GMail. And unfortunately the browser is much slower than before on Lenny. Right now Chromium and Iceweasel are working without any problems with the same installation...

General :: Installs Keep Freezing Before They Start - Debian - Linuxmint - Ubuntu

Apr 15, 2010

I have been trying to install linux on my HP pavillion 511w for several days. The first I tried to install was debian, it didn't freeze but it kept saying unable to mount cdrom drive. (This may have been from an incorrect jumper setting that I later changed.) I haven't tried debian since changing the jumper.

I next tried ubuntu 10.04 beta 2, all it did was go to a ubuntu flash screen that never stopped cycling these small round "lights".

I then tried the "stable" ubuntu 9.10. This went to a screen with several options for installing ubuntu, checking the disk etc. No matter what I selected it would just freeze. Since this is my first install I wasn't sure if this was normal or not so I waited several hours and still nothing, after enough time I concluded it must have been frozen. But before I continue wasting time waiting for hours can someone tell me... when installing these linux versions is there a sign that it is loading, booting, or installing the OS? I figure it must have a status bar or something, but want to make sure.

I next tried linux mint 8. It did the same thing, went to a sceen with several options and when I select something it says "loading" at the bottom with a blinking cursor, but of course it never loads anything, just sits there. This one throws me off a bit because it says its loading and the cursor blinks but it just doesn't seem like it is actually doing anything.

I have also downloaded ubuntu 8 which I plan to try next. I've tried changing the boot/install options by pushing F6 or whatever it was.

The computer is an older system that I never use because its so slow running XP. I thought linux would run faster and I could get some use out of it while learning/experimenting with linux. I always have to have projects to keep my mind working, but constantly failing at the starting line is not much fun.
