Debian Multimedia :: System Freezes When Closing The Lid With GNOME
Jul 5, 2015
I have configured my system to suspend whenever I close the lid, by using the Power Management applet provided by my desktop manager (see my later comment). However, sometimes, when I reopen the lid, I see that the laptop is switched on but it won't resume, while the CPU heats up. I must shutdown forcefully. What could be causing this?
I have found this thread [URL] .... in regard to OpenSUSE. Is it relevant for Debian as well?
System info:
- Debian GNU/Linux: 8.1
- Linux Kernel 3.16.0-4-amd64
- MATE desktop 1.8.1
- GNOME Shell 3.14.4
Clarified that the suspend is a user-level setting.

Gnome (or XORG, I'm not sure which name to give it) freezes up not always, but about once every 24 hours after I close the laptop's cover/lid. I know this happens when I close the lid rather than open it judging by the time the clock is locked at. The cursor will move around on the screen, but noting will react to it in any way. Other services such as FTP and Samba still work just fine when the computer is "locked down". Without more details to why the problem is occurring, I have no idea what to search for or where to get started solving the problem. I have attached the XORG logs (found in var/log) in case they are of any use.

Lubuntu 11.04 on laptop (PIII ATI Rage Mobility). Playing a WMV or MPEG file, system freezes when playback ends. I have not tried any other formats.
I looked at mplayer Preferences
In the Player tab, "Video Output" was blank - I set it to "x11"
This corrected the freeze problem, at least the first time that I tried it. However, it did not seem to persist through multiple plays of the MPEG file, whether or not accompanied by an mplayer quit and rerun or a reboot, even though I did not change the parameters. I tried setting vo=x11 in the etc/mplayer/config file, but that did not help. It is sporadic. It will work a few times with the MPEG file, then hang, for no apparent reason. One thing it does seem to do consistently is hang on the WMV file, regardless of the vo setting, and on both files, when vo is not specified (what I started with). This is a time-consuming task, with a reboot on every failure, and I have run out of ideas on what to try next. When it hangs on the MPEG file I noticed that the elapsed time ends up at 20 sec, even though the video total time is 16 sec. When it doesn't hang, the elpased time goes to 20 sec, then returns to 16 sec.

I just bought my new lenovo T460 notebook and have a problem with the lid closing/suspend handling which is very puzzling for me.
If the device is on the AC, closing the lid causes the notebook to suspend. This works perfectly - in other words: The notebook wakes up after opening the lid and is usable. If the notebook is on battery, closing the lid causes the notebook to freeze. In other words: If I open the lid again, everything is frozen. Not only the UI but I'm also not able to change to TTY1, 2, ...
What I did to find out more:
Manually suspending the notebook when on battery is working. If I do a systemctl suspend it works as expected. I tried to use the KDE settings to deactivate suspending when closing the lid when on battery. But even then, the system is freezing when closing the lid. I found this link [URL] .... laptop-lid which suggests to change the HandleLidSwitch setting in /etc/systemd/logind.conf to ignore. But this does not change the behavior.
I'm using debian stretch/testing
Details about my experience with the T460 under debian gnu linux can be found here: [URL] ....

As mentioned in the other two posts, my debian freezes when I use swap. Sometimes only the window-borders dissapear. However, this is not endurable for me. The answer "this is normal" is unfortunatly not getting censored. Even linux must be able to take heavy load without crashing.
Details here: [URL]

The vlc-problem could be solved by the way: It seems my MESA-installation caused OpenGL to work. As output in vlc, everything runs as it should now.

I've got a problem since I changed from wired to wireless. It doesn't happen repeatably, but usually when more than one application is trying to use the internet connection at the same time (eg iceweasel, icedove, java programs etc). Suddenly, all internet connectivity is lost, and the applications start to hang. Then I can try to close them but they don't close properly and still appear in the ps list. I can pull out the USB dongle (TP-Link TL-WN821N) but nothing responds any more, I can't disconnect using the taskbar icon, and when I try to kill -9 the iceweasel or icedove or java processes, even as root it does nothing.
Eventually the only thing I can think to do is to shut down. Except, when I try to shut down it says it can't stop the avahi daemon, and draws a little tree of the things which are hanging off the avahi daemon (like the apps trying to use the network), and says it can't stop them either. Then it tries to unmount the drives but fails to do that too, and doesn't umount either / or /home. Now the login prompts don't respond any more either (although I can still cycle through non-responsive tty screens), and the only thing left is to hold the finger on the power button.

Running Gnome on Jessie. Have had Gnome hang a few times over the past few months. The hangs seem to be related to having open and / or closing a root terminal. It has happened on a Gateway AMD Phenom II tower and on my Gateway NV59 lappy with Pentium P6200.

ibus works in a freshly installed wheezy with gnome, but it doesn't work in another system where I use openbox without desktop environment. The ibus-daemon is running and the icon is shown in the panel but the key sequence Ctrl+Space has no effect.

I`m running openSUSE 11.2, with GNOME 2.28 - made a fresh install.
Everything went smooth and nice, and I did not made any changes to my system, when I saw that GNOME System Monitor freezes when clicking on the "System" tab.

When I close the lid on my Dell Mini 9 (Ubuntu 10.04 UNR) the sysgtem freezes. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? That didn't happen with 9.04 UNR.

Since the incedent described in this thread:[url]
X just freezes whenever I close a window, I have to kill X when that happens. For some reason it doesn't do that in TWM, though.

I installed Debian Squeeze-testing weekly build today, with CD1 alone. It took 1 Hour 38 minutes to install and configure on my Pentium 4 2.7 Ghz , 1GB ram HP machine. I have some trouble with the installation. Sometimes the desktop just freezes while moving Icons, or opening Xterm. I cannot use Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, OR Ctrl-Alt-Delete keys. I have to physically reboot. Why doesn't Ctrl-Alt-Backspace work on GNOME? Is there a IRC chat for Debian Help and what applications does one use on GNOME for IRC chat?

When I play some video file, like some series (.avi), my system often freezes, the image become static and the sound starts looping. Ctr+Alt+Del does nothing and the only way to shut the computer down and restart the system is by holding the power button down for a long time. I've already searched the web for this problem but I find nothing. I have a Asus UX-30 with an Intel GMA X4500MHD.

I installed the Grooveshark add-on on XBMC (downloaded from their official PPA). When I fire it up (choose it and press Enter/Return/Newline) XBMC freezes. I had to get out of it by doing Ctrl-Alt-F1, logging in and rebooting.

I have a Dell Latitude E6410 which I can boot from an Iomega external hard drive when I want to run Linux on it. It is a work issued Windows XP laptop and when I travel, I am more comfortable with Linux, so I created a dual boot option without touching their hardware. The external hard drive plugs in to the USB ports and the BIOS picks it up as the primary boot media, although the internal drive is still present. (That is the desired outcome).The problem is that the system periodically locks up solid and only a forced power off will get it to respond. The system seems to go into a kernel panic and fails to write anything before dying. The system completely locks up and stops responding to mouse and keyboard. It also seems to drop off the network. When I look at the logs after restarting, nothing at all shows up related to a kernel panic or anything else. To further complicate the diagnosis, on the reboots, sometimes the boot process locks up at "Starting GDM3", sometimes it doesn't, and wont for several attempts but eventually will boot to gnome. Some times it runs fine for a few hours, sometimes for only a few minutes. Can anyone recommend a way to diagnose this?I am trying to run Debian 6.0 32-bit with the defaults.

As the title says, I have tried both of them and they both freeze my system with no apparent reason. They freeze by just looking at them in the fist few minutes after startup and a hard reboot is needed. So I keep coming back to 11.6. Does anyone else have the same problem or is it just my system? By the way I have an HD 6970 in an AMD CPU based system running squeeze. And the reason why I keep installing new drivers and don't stick with 11.6 is a futile hope that anti-aliasing will work with compiz enabled.

my brand new Squeeze system, I cannot stop the Iceweasel. It just keeps going and going and going ... Specifically, after closing the browser a firefox-bin or xulrunner-stub process (never both) keeps running and consumes an entire CPU (according to top). To make matters worse, Mozilla does not accept responsibility for the problem. Instead it blames extensions, Java applets, plugins, etc.. They blame everyone but themselves. To see that the bug is in "Firefox/Iceweasel," run:
cd $HOME
mv .mozilla/ .mozilla-bkp/
/usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin
Then shut the browser. The process must be terminated manually.
kill $(ps -A | grep -E "xulrunner-stub|firefox-bin" | awk '{print $1}')

So i just finally installed Debian Jessie OS, replacing Ubuntu. But now it is running extremely slow. It's not internet connection. The internet speed is running fine (Videos load quickly), but it's like the system freezes every 30 seconds or so. A video can be fully loaded but still stops and starts constantly. Just browsing the internet, or non-internet things do the same also. I switched back to Ubuntu to see if it was different on there, but Ubuntu is running fine.

When closing the gnome-terminal a dialogue box opens that says:
Close This Window?
There is a process still running in this terminal.
Closing this terminal will kill it.
Nothing is running it's complete, so I have to close the box then the terminal closes. I know I'm a perfectionist. how to get rid of this?

I have an older Gateway P4 computer running Ubuntu 9.10. I had removed the nm-applet from the systray because I wanted the system to have a static IP. That was several months ago. Today, unthinkingly, I tried to re-add the icon by going into System -> Preferences -> Start-up Applications. I put check in the box next to "Network Manager", then re-started my system. However, when my system came back up, instead of the Network Manager icon, I had two System Audio icons in the tray. One was actually for the audio; the other one just said "Notification Icon" when I put my mouse over it. Again, without thinking, I clicked on "remove from panel". That's where my problems have begun. As soon as I did that, the top and bottom bars disappeared, then reappeared. Except now they're doing that constantly. My machine has become totally unusable. I did manage to turn it off and re-start it, but it comes right back to doing this again.
I can remotely log in from another system (which is where I'm typing this message from) and see that, according to "top", the "gnome-panel" is running at anywhere from 30 - 50% of my CPU. I can provide any logs or other information necessary since I can access the system remotely.

I wrote this little function that I use from my '~/.bashrc' (from a script I also made, with help) to run a program on a timer, however there is one small issue I'm having.
Code:
##### Run program on a timer
# Usage: program-timer <program> <runlength (in secs)>
function program-timer()
{
$1 &
mypid=`eval ps ax|grep "$1"|grep -iv "grep"| awk '{print $1}'`
[Code]...
Basically, it works just fine, but the issue I'd love to get help with is when the timer runs out, it doesn't shutdown the program. That is, not until I close gnome-terminal. I've tried 'exit' in several places, but it doesn't seem to close it.
Now, the above script does what I want, but using 'killall gnome-terminal' not only closes the gnome-terminal window I am running the function on, but ALL gnome-terminal windows I may have open.
Does anybody see a simple way to fix my small dilemma, to have it close only the gnome-terminal window I'm running the function on?

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 x64 and already am really annoyed by Firefox, which freezes my mouse after changing a tab (with ctrl+tab, alt+#) or closing it (ctrl+w). After about one second, i can continue working as usual. Changing Tabs by just clicking on one does not freeze anything...Maybe some of you would think now if I am crazy because of complaining about such a little thing, but it is really annoying if you are used to work fluently with ff.Edit:I today noticed, that not only shortcuts in firefox, but all Hotkeys freeze my mouse for a second. For examle ctrl+c, ctrl+v, super+e or anything else.Do you have any Idea what causes this behaviour? Reinstalling ubuntu didn't change anything

I have a home server running Debian Wheezy ( 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.68-1+deb7u6 x86_64 GNU/Linux). I have a Realtek RTL8111/8168B NIC and an Intel 82574L. I saw while searching Google that both cards have this issue. I'm currently using the Realtek card for LAN connectivity. If I try to tranfer large files via SAMBA or have any kind of load on the NIC, my system freezes and requires a reboot in order to restore connectivity. The error message from kern.log is:
Nov 26 02:41:53 golgotha kernel: [ 5178.413329] AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE_FAULT device=0a:00.0 domain=0x0021 address=0x0000000000003000 flags=0x0050]

[code]....
Everything runs fine until I try to do a large file tranfer or have multiple users connected.
lspci returns:

Also, I've rolled the driver back to rtl_nic/rtl8168f-1.fw and currently have that installed, but the error still occurs.

I recently installed Debian Jessie, and I am fairly new to Linux. I have both IceWeasel and Chromium, and every other time I try to use either, it freezes the whole computer, the screen shows only diagonal colors, and I have to hard boot. I have another windows and linux computer on this network with no problems at all. I have run checks on the ram on this computer which found no problems. Everything else on the computer works fine.

The most immediately apparent consequence of upgrading to KDE 4.4.3 is that Krunner is very slow or freezes completely. The run command from Lancelot is still quick and responsive and launches app's immediately, unfortunately Krunner takes an age to launch the application and sometimes does nothing at all.
