[QUOTE=Megaman1811;49362824]Just migrated to Xubuntu on my laptop. Feels good to be back. Only problem i'm having (ok im having multiple problems but this one is important) is whenever I close my laptop lid and open it again, it refuses to wake. This is whats in /var/crash [code] cristian@cristian-Aspire-V5:/var/crash$ ls linux-image-4.2.0-22-generic.242079.crash linux-image-4.2.0-22-generic.242161.crash _opt_google_chrome_chrome.1000.crash _usr_bin_gmusicbrowser.1000.crash _usr_bin_xfdesktop.1000.crash _usr_lib_notepadqq_notepadqq-bin.1000.crash _usr_sbin_NetworkManager.0.crash [/code] someone tell me which logs to upload and they'll be up asap.[/QUOTE] Can you give us the dmesg logs right before the crash? Typically in /var/logs/? Does disabling your wifi interface (physically with a switch) before closing the lid change the behavior at all?

[/code] and as for turning off my wifi, Ill try that right now [editline]21st December 2015[/editline] [video]https://youtu.be/CKnGwjkC-qI[/video] This is what happened when I logged back in. A quick trip to tty and back fixed it though

You should try getting a dmesg log of the malfunction and send it upstream somewhere. As for the corruption I have no clue. :vs:

A quick trip to tty and back fixed it though[/QUOTE] I used to have a similar problem where if my computer locked the screen for too long or if I went to tty and back, my compositor (or maybe nvidia-drivers, not sure) would just decide that Euclid was full of shit and render bizarro geometry. I was able to fix it whenever it happened by toggling my compositor on and off (KDE comes with the Alt+Shift+F12 hotkey).

[QUOTE=DrTaxi;49368778][img]http://i.imgur.com/qKeacZ0.png[/img] Oh fuck off, Intel.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't care. All user data is obviously backed up, so I power down everything and destroy the VM, boot a new one with the same configuration in a few minutes and restore user data. Done.

having an odd issue with my screenshot script. I haven't changed anything and now it has begun creating broken images that aren't recognized as images? going to the URL I'm given will tell me that the image I'm going to can't be displayed because it contains errors. for example [URL]http://pred.me/pics/1450883512.png[/URL] downloading the file from the server will give me a .png file, obviously, but trying to open it will open Sublime and the image contains no "text". the local file before it's uploaded is intact, so the picture somehow seems to break during upload. my script [code]#!/bin/bash _date=`date +%s` _file="/home/vlad/Pictures/screenshots/$_date.png" maim -s "$_file" scp -P 23 "$_file" root@pred.me:/home/predme/public_html/pics echo http://pred.me/pics/$_date.png | xclip -selection clipboard mplayer "/usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/screen-capture.oga" [/code] I noticed that ShareX broke on my Windows install as well, and that uses SFTP to my server too. I haven't changed anything though, what happened here? [editline]23rd December 2015[/editline] I updated the server, works now. huh

So guys, I have an weird issue with Linux. Basically what happens is sometimes the system competely freezes and I have to do a hard reset to go back to what I was doing. It's pretty annoying. At first I thought it was my RAM acting up, but windows is running completely fine and I am playing games, etc. Also, my browsers keep crashing. Chrome and Firefox do it. It's not my browsers causing it either, since it happens when I'm not running browsers. Any ideas?

[QUOTE=mastersrp;49404820]What setup are you using? What distro for instance?[/QUOTE] Arch with i3. Did you want my specs? if so, that's [URL="http://josm.uk/setup"]here[/URL]

did you try to enter another tty (Ctrl + alt + F4 for instance) ?

Does REISUB work?

[QUOTE=Lyoko2;49405793]did you try to enter another tty (Ctrl + alt + F4 for instance) ?[/QUOTE] Yep. Completely locks up. [QUOTE=lavacano;49406063]Does REISUB work?[/QUOTE] I have no idea what that is.

[QUOTE=josm;49406139]Yep. Completely locks up. I have no idea what that is.[/QUOTE] Hold down Ctrl+Alt+Shift+PrintScreen, enter those six letters in order. Give each letter a second or two to actually do its respective thing. The mnemonic I always liked to remember them was "Reboot Even If System Utterly Broken" if you do that, and the system doesn't reboot, it's 100% guaranteed a hardware problem.

Will edit results in this post. -edit- Okay, didn't work. I have no idea what it is though, I guess I'll start with buying new RAM? it doesn't explain why windows is completely fine though. Can't be my SSD either, since windows is dual-booted with arch on the same drive.

anything unusual on dmesg?

[QUOTE=Lyoko2;49407190]anything unusual on dmesg?[/QUOTE] [URL="http://u.cubeupload.com/josm/201512282153223840x1.png"]Actually, yes. I'm pretty sure this is my games drive. (output is on left monitor)[/URL]. This is the only weird thing in dmesg mind you. Thing is though, it's working fine. I don't get it.

my VPS has managed to fill up somehow, any idea how to track down what's hogging all that space? I remember using a command that would show me how big each directory was so I could dig down. for example if I did this command in /, it would list every directory in /, nothing more, along with how big each folder was. I tried du -h but that lists every single file in the system, and dh -h apparently doesn't show folders, only how big each disk is and how filled it is.

Back when I experienced that and researched it, it turned out to be more common that I had expected.

If that is the current then could you post the log which contains the time when it failed? Previous boot logs are located in /var/log often suffixed by the amount of boots since. [editline]29th December 2015[/editline] Also, if you are unsure if your RAM is healthy or not then you could install memtest86 from the repositories and start a memory test from boot.

That doesn't explain my browser crashes though.

it appears that my MySQL has grown to 52GB, but I'm not able to find anything that takes that amount of space when digging. [IMG]http://pred.me/pics/1451408145.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://pred.me/pics/1451408158.png[/IMG] whats up here? [editline]29th December 2015[/editline] okay, I'm dumb. I also just realized why picture uploading isn't working, my server is full. obviously I can't upload shit then [editline]29th December 2015[/editline] anyway, my MySQL folder is at 52GB and I can't find any offending folders using du -h -d1 [editline]29th December 2015[/editline] found it, ibdata1. whats in that file?

So I think I busted my Gentoo install, it keeps complaining of corrupt libraries when I try emerge various things. It might have happend when I was building a cross compiler, I might have accidentally forgot to set the prefix before running make install.

Currently running a Lubuntu install on a single core Pentium 4 3.0 ghz machine with three gigabytes of ram that has a geforce 610 gt in it, experiencing unreasonable fps issues when attempting to run Morrowind through OpenMW, as well as fps irregularities in both native linux games and wine ran games. Issues include inconsistent FPS in a game made with RPG maker VX ace. Was wondering what the culprit of the issue is, because I refuse to believe that this thing cannot flawlessly run a fucking rpgmaker game, or Morrowind, or Diablo 2.
