Mint 13 system locking up, what's the next move?

skunkarific · 08-01-2014, 09:22 AM

My Mint 13 64 bit system will lock up after a period, the mouse works, but nothing moves. The install is about a year old. I use the CTRL+ALT+PRTSCN REISUB method to restart. I wish I knew what other information to give. Any instructions will be followed to the letter, your help is greatly appreciated.

I would suspect dodgy software behaviour before hardware.

1. Boot on an install cd and fsck -fv the disks for starters.
2. Check the logs in /var/log and dmesg for errors, failures and general oddities.
3. You could run memtest86 on it, to eliminate that possibility.

skunkarific · 08-01-2014, 12:13 PM

I will do that!

skunkarific · 08-01-2014, 01:21 PM

I tried the fsck -fv, it says it didn't find any device. But there is it in gparted? Running memtest now.

skunkarific · 08-01-2014, 06:17 PM

Memtest passed all 32GB

business_kid · 08-02-2014, 03:11 AM

it's fsck -fv /dev/sdb1
fsck -fv /dev/sdb2 etc. /dev/sdb is the bare disk itself, which gets you the partition table buit no filesystem.

Looks ok. They are just disk stats at the ehnd. Is the problem still there? Another key combination to try is Ctrl_Alt_Backspace, btw. Does this one work to get out of the mess?

Is there much data in /lost+found?

pierre2 · 08-03-2014, 06:46 AM

the "Ctrl_Alt_Backspace" is the preferred method,
but some O/Ss have disabled it. ..

- it simply restarts X
the GUI

skunkarific · 08-03-2014, 05:14 PM

Thanks for the reply, Pierre.

Yes, I have tried CRTL+ALT+Backspace to restart X, but it doesn't work. Only ARTL+ALT+PrtScn + REISUB seems to work.

I do think the problem is in software somewhere.

business_kid · 08-04-2014, 03:27 AM

You can go further with each disk.

badblocks -c = a read only test for bad blocks
badblocks -n = a read/write non destructive test for bad blocks.

presuming that changes nothing, Then something you are running is crashing. we get particular to the system from there, and it's over to you. Are you running betas? Video drivers, and things like that become suspect.

skunkarific · 08-10-2014, 03:50 PM

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

business_kid · 08-11-2014, 03:36 AM

That is wrong.

Badblocks is run on it's own.
e2fsck -fcv /dev/sdb1 runs a read only bad blocks check.

badblocks -n /dev/sdb1 also does the non destructive write test, and you would need that outside of e2fsck if you choose that option, e.g.

badblocks -n /dev/sdb1
e2fsck -fv /dev/sdb1

skunkarific · 08-15-2014, 04:57 PM

mint@mint ~ $ sudo badblocks -n /dev/sdb1
mint@mint ~ $ sudo badblocks -n /dev/sdb3

No output.....so I guess no foul....

I reinstalled my video driver, but that didn't help.

My 8350 is running at 38 degrees...so that's not it either.

Ok.

If you feel the desire to stick a long list in, put it in 'Code' tags (the # sign). A long list of mint packages means little to me.

This is post 15(?); You have cleared the disk, and the memory of suspicion. No comment on what is in the logs which may be the most informative part. Yes, software is the suspect, but it is nice to have a firmer fix on things because linux software is basically reliable. Some log searches:

Code:

dmesg |less
grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
less /var/log.messages

dmesg shows the current boot; Xorg.0.log is the current boot of X, and 'grep EE' checks it for errors. If they fail, /var/log/messages gets all the errors usually - that is the long one.

If this is getting too much like work, you can reinstall, but I would check your download against the checksum to be sure it is good.
