Slackware 10 sleep
Hi all, i just installed and configured Slackware 10, but i have this problem.
It often sleep few seconds for a couple of times (so i see the mouse pointer on the screen but no answere) Does anybody knows what could it be? Thank you. |
Am I correct in assuming your mouse freezes on the screen for a few seconds... and then its OK?
I had a similar problem with my laptop a few weeks ago, it turned out that my hard drive was dying, (It did eventually die and I lost everything) Now Im not saying that your drive is dying, what I am saying is that you should check your hard drive for errors thoroughly,,,,, particulary in the swap partition. And make regular backups of all your important data........ |
What is the hard drive?
This is the first time i hear something like this. What is it better to do? Reinstall everything? |

a disk checker of some sort, unfortunately I cant offer more advice at this time as I dont know which file system you are using. could you post that information and also if your drive is split into any partitions and we will try to help you some more. |
Sorry for my english if i did not understand.
I had a lot of little problems with linux but i never had problems with hard drive. This is what i meant. |

Hi there,,
I think that you need to use badblocks to check your hda3 for bad blocks or damage, details on the usage of this command can be found by typing man badblocks at the terminal Im sorry but thats about the limit of my knowledge here, anything else would be guesswork & I dont want to give you the wrong information. (Now would be a good time for one of the more knowledgeable members to step in and offer assistance) |
