Antix freeze

[Member sbis]

Hi all,
sometimes my pc freeze and nothing work.
The pointer moves very slowly, the keyboard doesn’t work and the only way is reboot the pc.

I don’t know how to replicate the problem so I want to know if there is a tool to read the logs when the pc freeze.
I read in other web site there is a tool named “journalctl” but I don’t find it.
What can I use?

Thanks a lot

Hi sbis,

It would help people to help you if you could describe in detail (a) what the computer is running when this happens, (b) details about the hardware (see inxi –help for details – oftentimes people ask for something like inxi -Fxxx) and (c) details of software that is installed. (Inxi -Fxxx includes the running kernel version.)

I associate “journalctl” with systemd – I don’t think it is included on most antiX installs.

Hi, expanding a bit on the recommendations by stevesr0:

0) More info about your system, did you do any additional “suspicious” installs of packages such as changing desktop to other than already present in the default install etc.?

1) Please describe the occurrences of this freezes in more detail. Is it typically associated with a specific program running? Do you run RAM/CPU heavy applications when this happens?

2) You may wish explore/post (as attachments) the following logs:
2.A) ‘~/.desktop-session/log’ or ‘~/.desktop-session/log.old’
2.B) /var/log/ <– most of them are not to be read by user, i.e. you may need to access them with elevated privileges, few tips where to look are ‘dmesg’, ‘kern.log’, ‘Xorg.0.log’ (or their older versions); try to find errors.

3) Freeze: I experienced freezes with AMD Ryzen, which was a known “issue” – using the most recent kernel available in antiX and changing BIOS settings (to more power hungry) helped.

Thanks sybok, probably the problem is the CPU; a AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics as you can see in the attached files.
I’ll read the link you posted for a solution.

Bye
