Hi all, sorry if I post this the wrong place.
I have a laptop running mint with qtile which sometimes freezes. To the point where nothing responds and I need to kill it. I’ve tried: sudo journalctl But I don’t get any information which helps me.
Can anyone help to debug it?


Can you check
/var/log/syslog?Something like:
tail -f /var/log/syslogmay help out.That file usually has the answers. Its just hard to find the exact lines.
There are an absurd amount of this:

If your machine is a Tuxedo laptop, this thread might interest you. Seems as though this user was hitting thermal limits and their laptop would freeze/poweroff to keep from dying.
+1 to this line on inquiry.
When I’ve managed to get a modern Linux desktop to freeze, I’ve had a bad power supply, or heat issues, each time.
Interesting that the power supply might be the problem. Never thought about that. Sounds like a nightmare to come to that conclusion.
Maybe something to do with your audio?
