OK, here we go: Big Red Letters.acerimusdux wrote: ⤴Mon Jan 10, 2022 1:04 pm In a case like this, it's usually a good idea to check the logs, and see what if any errors are actually being reported when this happens.
Try:
To see any messages from the current boot (-b or -b 0), related to the kernel (-k), with a high priority (3 or less). Check "man journalctl" for other options for sorting through the log output, there are lots of them. To check the above for the previous boot, do:Code: Select all
journalctl -b -k -p 3
Another useful option is -S, which shows logs "since" a specified time. Such as:Code: Select all
journalctl -b -1 -k -p 3
Code: Select all
journalctl -S "1hour ago"
Code: Select all
jr@JR-Desktop:~$ journalctl -b -k -p 3

Then I found this:Storage=
Controls where to store journal data. One of "volatile",
"persistent", "auto" and "none". If "volatile", journal log
data will be stored only in memory, i.e. below the
/run/log/journal hierarchy (which is created if needed). If
"persistent", data will be stored preferably on disk, i.e.
below the /var/log/journal hierarchy (which is created if
needed), with a fallback to /run/log/journal (which is
created if needed), during early boot and if the disk is not
writable. "auto" behaves like "persistent" if the
/var/log/journal directory exists, and "volatile" otherwise
(the existence of the directory controls the storage mode).
"none" turns off all storage, all log data received will be
dropped (but forwarding to other targets, such as the
console, the kernel log buffer, or a syslog socket will still
work). Defaults to "auto" in the default journal namespace,
and "persistent" in all others.
