elfprince This has been a plague and pox before the last update for me. But it's always a 2-3 minute pox: spews wrong characters, doesn't type nothing, and when it does type it resembles NO characters that you did type then freezes again, mouse almost completely paralyzed. Then I wait it out, frustrated for those minutes.
Unproductive as all he**.
It followed me into this fresh install and new computer.
I don't what you guys are doing with ESC and lightdm.
You can ctrl+alt_del INSIDE the GUI? I never tried that ever. Then what to you do? sudo kill lightdm? And that takes you back to GUI desktop? I'd like to try it. Explain this more, please
Also, my mouse/keyboard wireless. And the only way I can hasten those 2-3 minute poxes is turn them off and on again by their hardware power switches. That seems to keep it alive about 5 seconds before paralyzing itself again.
So....I started thinking. If a fast off/on of the wireless peripherals jump starts it a little....then do I have a shi**y dongle? So I moved the dongle 2 hours ago to another usb port.
2 hours freeze-free so far after 10 hours of excruciating and regular peripheral freezes today.
Did I solve it?
Knock on wood.....
EVERYTHING I read online about this in linux is kernel-related so really think I know what I know but likely know nothing🙂
EDIT: took about 3-4 minutes of paralyze to edit this and say my experiment failed🙂
I will keep troubleshooting
EDIT #2---I have worked another solid hour by simply keeping pox-ridden sluggish keyboard but replacing pox-ridden paralyzed mouse with a WIRED mouse. They are a good pair for 60 minutes.
I am absolutely anticipating failure, as is my conditioning to these multiple input freezes, but it's a rare burst of solid production today.
How do you like them variables?
I don't have system freezes anymore (clock stops, functions dead), but all of you, including me, who go through these I/O horrors many times daily....nobody ever states if they are wired or wireless with their keys/mouse. This could be a variable.
