[SOLVED] Linux Mint from 18 to 20.2 Mate periodically freezing

Post by diabolicbg »

I definitely see no reason. I don't understand enough to look for a reason in the diaries. Freezing is always accidental and happens randomly. Sometimes it doesn't happen for weeks, and today it froze when Facebook opened after the launch of the PC. Everything freezes - mouse, keyboard, screen. The hard disk LED is lit continuously. I can only turn off the computer from the button. This only happens on this machine. I have others weaker with the same version that do not freeze. :? After cleaning with BleachBit there is a period in which it does not freeze. Please help if it is possible to help.

When you say in the title "...from 18 to 20.2..." does that mean you performed an in-place upgrade from 18 to 20.2 (18--->19--->20)?

Also, if you used Bleachbit, there's a probability that it would temporarily help, but in the long run would hurt your system. Do you use Bleachbit on a regular basis?

Re: Linux Mint from 18 to 20.2 Mate periodically freezing

Post by diabolicbg »

As far as I remember after 18.3 I just started to upgrade the system to 20.2. I use Bleachbit relatively rarely only after freezing and recently. I read such advice somewhere here in the forums. I tried the tips I also found here for 'safe' system cleaning / https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.c ... -mint.html /, but then I had problems failing some programs that Timeshift failed to fix, although I went back 1 month. I restored the system from an image taken a month ago with Foxclone.

I have now followed the safety tips until: 9.3. Automatic removal of old redundant kernels
I think last time I made a mistake somewhere in the system logs or systemd, because at the moment I have no problems and I think I will not touch there anymore. I will also remove Bleachbit.
Any recommendations?

If you have been doing in-place upgrading and not fresh installs from 18 to 20, then I would suggest backing up important files and doing a fresh install of 20.2 Mate.

Thanks! I have a lot of work to do at the moment. I will probably do it when 20.3 comes out. Is there an easy way to get a list of the programs I'm currently using so I don't miss anything?

Yes, by using the already-installed Backup Tool. When you open this program, it shows two sections:
.
Shutter_003.jpg
.
When you click "Back Up Now...", it takes you to this screen:
.
Shutter_004.jpg
.
where you can select which programs you want to have reinstalled when you do a restore. Usually, you'll leave all selected. This isn't a real backup of the programs themselves but a list of the programs that can be reinstalled from the repositories when you do a "Restore...". The "Back Up Now..." creates a list of programs in a text file:

Can I safely use these optimization tips or are they dangerous? On my previous installation, I used them when I switched from HDD to SSD.

Yes, you can. In fact, the creator of those tips is a member of this forum, pjotr.

I've used many of those tips and suggestions without any problems.

In my opinion, as with anything in life, there is no such thing as 100% safety.

Yesterday I found the time and reinstalled LM 20.2 clean. At the moment there are no manifestations of the problem, but I will wait at least 15 days and correct the topic of [Solved].

Re: [SOLVED] Linux Mint from 18 to 20.2 Mate periodically freezing

Unfortunately, on 4 January the problem started again. :(
At first I thought it was a random incident, but on January 5 it happened again twice. I figured it was probably from the kernel change to version 5.4.0.92. Yesterday I deleted the last two versions and went back to 5.4.0-90. Today the computer worked normally all day until 15 minutes ago it froze again. At this point the hard disk running indicator was constantly lit. I rebooted and reinstalled 5.4.0-92. Any ideas what I can do?

This is not good, but what to do. It is possible for someone else to come up with a useful idea. I've been looking for the problem for a long time, long before I released this topic, but unfortunately I couldn't find anything either. :?

Re: Linux Mint from 18 to 20.2 Mate periodically freezing

Post by diabolicbg »

I cloned the system to another SSD and replaced it. I changed the SATA interface cable and switched to another SATA slot on the motherboard. Three days everything works without freezing. Windows that is on another SSD does not freeze.
Yesterday I decided to make a backup with Foxclone, booted the computer with boot flash, started Foxclone itself and the computer froze while the program was scanning the available disks and OS. I don't think the problem is with the installed OS.

Any ideas where the problem might be?

I'd agree.

Have you tested the RAM? There's a utility to do so on the Linux Mint install USB/DVD. It's an option on the boot menu (don't start Linux Mint).
