LMDE 64 freezes
I went to the Mint menu in the lower left corner, tried to enter the search term "provider" it got as far as "provi" then the machine froze up. I had to do a hard reboot, tried it again and it froze up to the point of another hard reboot. Is this a bug?

Re: LMDE 64 freezes
I don't know about a bug, but I had to remove mint menu and go back to standard gnome menu because it was always one my top CPU processes (Python).

Re: LMDE 64 freezes
rdonnelly,
What kind of updating method are you using? Just Levels 1-3, or all levels 1-5? There are bug fixes in Level 3, as well as some bigger fixes in the 4 & 5. Overall, LMDE is almost rock solid right now.

Re: LMDE 64 freezes
This looked like a bug.
first reported in below link, when typing rar, CPU went 100%, froze.
work around without reboot: hit ctrl-alt-backspace and re login.

So, do you think I should take all updates right up to level 5?rivenathos wrote:rdonnelly,

Re: LMDE 64 freezes
Only you can make that decision. However, my LMDE installs, both 32-bit and 64-bit, are fully updated with all Level 1-5 updates. I take them all. The only thing you may wish to do is choose "keep original package" if asked since Mint uses a couple of things Debian wants to "fix."
Will I do this on LMDE once Squeeze goes stable and Wheezy becomes the new Testing. No, not at first. I am probably not going to update anything until the repositories settle down with the influx of all the new packages. LMDE is a whole new ballgame.

Re: LMDE 64 freezes
I need to add this in just for reference. In an update performed today, I got this message pop up:
There was an X in the box, so I went with it. Nothing exploded, so it works for me.Migrate legacy boot sequencing to dependency-based sequencing?

Re: LMDE 64 freezes
I always do an "apt-get dist-upgrade" Seems rock solid. I guess I should say also I use the Liquorix Kernel, and ZERO Ubuntu packages

Re: LMDE 64 freezes
I use Aptitude update and dist-upgrades whenever I see the check mark turn in the update icon or once a day, whichever comes first. Then I read what it says before agreeing to allow it. It's taken me a year, but, hard lessons make you stronger.
