Greetings all.
Never logged a bug before and need advice where to log this
particular case.
I have been having issues with my Debian system freezing on my
PC - see specs below - same issue after reinstall on 3 different
SSDs including a USB install with only CherryTree and Keepassx
installed beyond standard clean install (nothing else configured
or customized). Happens on KDE, Gnome and XFCE. The system would
run for random times and then freeze solid with nothing working,
not even other terminal sessions - NOTHING.
Have had to switch to QubesOS which runs fine without any
issues.
The same Debian install works fine on macbookpro 8.1 (I install
Debian on the desktop hardware and just swap the SDD in the mac
and it works perfectly - just need wireless driver installed. PS
it blew my mind when I found this worked for my particular
machines! Debian kicks ass!)
I've checked logs before and could not see anything unusual
(not that I am log pro) (will see if I can get some more logs
for upload). When it freezes all logging is lost so I don't
expect it to be useful.
Systemd's journal is keeping track of logs for every system boot.
You can check them individually with "journalctl":
Freezing issue happened with both current Radeon X1950 PRO and
R9 280x Sapphire.
Debian install was amd64 9.8.0 but it started happening around
January on previous versions. I suspected it was something
hardware related as I was overseas and came back my R9 died -
but I doubt it is hardware since QubesOS is working without
issues.
Hopefully there will be some clue in logs about what is happening
with your system before it freezes.
