Hi to all, just installed the last Linux Mint Debian Edition on my PC and it freezes while doing anything. I tried to boot with a LiveUSB (the same I used to install the distro), and also freezes after a few moments. Just tried once with the LiveUSB.
I use a one year old SSD, on my old dual-core computer, which runs without any problems Windows 7. Also run the memory test on the menu first appeared after booting the LiveUSB, before loading the live distro, and no errors appeared
To achieve installation, I had to run fixparts on terminal to fix something it was wrong on the double boot MBR/Whatever.
I cant explain so much about that. I tried to install a couple of distros, but I wasnt able to see the partitions, so I searched internet and found it could be fixxed with the program "fixparts". I run it from the LiveUSB, and didnt prompted me any message or alert, nor I found a usefull option, but despite that I chose to exit writting the changes, for a just in case. After that I restrated the computer, booting from the same LiveUSB, and this time thr partition table appeared correctly and Linux was installed.

...and now your system freezes "inexplicably".
Please don't execute commands you don't know anything about if you don't want to break your system.
Linux is stable & safe - except for one thing: it does not have a safety belt. It's up to you to drive responsibly. Meaning: don't mess around!
How can you expect anyone to be able to help you if you don't even know what you did to your system?

It is not stable&safe if you haven't wasted a big part of your life learning stuff it only makes sense in a 1/6 of the computers of the world. Sorry if I pretend to spend my time with the real world, and also to say Linux it means problems to do everything. I only tried to Install Linux, 3 different Debian based, and all of them fail because of the dual boot, presumably. Such a perfect example! Now Linux can have problems just for a dual boot! It never happens before to me, but now it is, as is to do anything it's not writing a document.
Run fixparts is what it is supposed to do when someone encounters the problematic I had, and no warning message or any other message appeared, so it was to write the changes (if made) or don't install Linux, and after 3 different distros I thought it was time for that.
So what, are you going to help or just come to play the tech-savvy role?
