My mint 17.2 is Crashing and freezing

jbander · 11-03-2015, 05:54 PM

I'll have to download it again, There's a couple of things I don't want to do over again , Is there a program that will tuck a few things inside it to make the reload easier. One is a complicated Brothers printer driver . my email addresses, my bookmarks and a few other things. Any thoughts.

Better to find the cause of the freezing and crashing, yes?

If you re-install fresh and manage to make the reload 'easier' and it still crashes and freezes,
you will have wasted time.

Do you have a separate /home partition?

in terminal

Code:

inxi -Fsx

and post the output using 'code tags' (see signature for how to)

Thank you.

Sorry don't understand code tags even after reading their definition, If this helps, I would appreciate help.

Ok read it, googled it, did laps throughout the internet , don't have a clue what it is , or how to do it. It doesn't even have a wiki on it.

Habitual · 11-04-2015, 04:08 PM

Click this and look at the example.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...eply&p=5444588

Then look at this example:
http://pastie.org/private/prjw5un9xmeujzauwiuyzw

Make adjustments to http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...8/#post5444613

And how is http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...8/#post5444627 NOT CLEAR?

You want help from me? Figure it out.

Thank you.

Actually you are the last person I would ask for help. Because you know about this and me not knowing about this,means nothing, there are tons of things that other people have expertise in and buddy you wouldn't have a clue if you were given information the way you seem to think is the way. Your the type that when you help you expect the persons first born. You are bad for the linux world and there a tons of people out there like you. Thank you.

But oh well, Nvidia driver is loaded on your box so no Nouveau crashing causes.

Did you md5sum check your Mint iso before installing it? Might be a corrupted download maybe.

Bye Bye. Habitual is a friend of mine. You should apologize. Not nice barking like a dog at a extended helping hand. Since he is not the one all broke down in the back of the bus.

jbander · 11-05-2015, 11:23 AM

I will change to Nouveau , the actual drivers in the past have caused freezes, forgot about that. I thought using backup restores the problem that exist, in my case freezing. I have a backup on my cloud.
