[solved] Mint 22 fresh install - cinnamon crashing daily at same time

[greeves]

I just did a fresh installation of Mint 22 which is running great with no issues but one. So far cinnamon is crashing daily at basically the same time:

Sat 2024-08-31 19:58:57 CDT 2233 /usr/bin/cinnamon
Fri 2024-08-30 19:58:58 CDT 2124 /usr/bin/cinnamon

I have only one cron entry that copies my Timeshift local backup to a NAS but it runs at 07:00. It isn't a huge issue for me - just curious if anyone has seen the same behavior.

This is is two years old but similar story:

Thanks for the reply Steve. I read the topic and while he had some cinnamon crashes - he also had lots of other crashes.

Also my BIOS is up to date.

As far as loading the OEM version of Mint, if this gets to bothering me too much I might try that. For now I'm going to be sitting in front of my system at 7:58 pm and maybe I'll get a clue as to what is going on.

[stevengarland]

Gremlins?

[greeves]

LMAO - gremlins with a watch...

[greeves]

Tonight was the first time I have had an opportunity to be on my system at 19:58 to see what is happening. I believe the culprit is a Firefox window that is running my Google calendar. I have a repeating daily alarm that occurs at 20:00 hours. Google will open my Firefox window from the toolbar to post a popup window notifying me of the alarm on the calendar web page. Interesting that cinnamon did not crash when I was "active" on the session - I was running top in a terminal window to watch the processes. I don't run a screensaver, I normally just power off my monitor when I leave my desk.

Just to confirm, I have closed the calendar web page to see if that stops the cinnamon crash tomorrow. Stay tuned gremlin fans.

[greeves]

For the first time since installing Mint 22 cinnamon hasn't crashed at 17:59. I don't know if the problem lies with cinnamon or Firefox however I used this Firefox webpage with Mint 21 from the day it was installed. Not a big deal - the alarm of course is really for my phone and I can live without it on my desktop. As far as I'm concerned this is solved.
