I use linux mint debian edition (LMDE)

journalctl -b | grep -v rtkit-daemon

I just got the following freeze that it recovered from by itself (rarely happens). After filtering the log a bit I get the following from around the time it happened.

Interesting that the power supply might be the problem. Never thought about that. Sounds like a nightmare to come to that conclusion.

I’ll try to monitor the temperature more closely, but nothing suggest that anything is wrong (doesn’t feel hot, and the freeze can happen without doing anything intensive).

It’s a tuxedo laptop.

No, I can’t access another tty during a freeze, unfortunately.

I checked that at some point, and I don’t think that was the case, although sometimes during a crash the fans starts going crazy.

Great idea. I will try some time with XFCE. One of the challenges is that I don’t know how to trigger the crash, and sometimes it can be days, other times multiple times within an hour.

There are an absurd amount of this:

That seems to be there all the time, and also before crashing/freezing

I’ve been a linux user since 2010s more or less. For some reason on my new tuxedo laptop with mint installed + qtile it sometimes freezes or logs me out. Super frustrating, and don’t know how to debug it. But mostly I’m happy with my setup.
