Freeze while copying

#1 Post by MasterofInkspots »

Hello everybody not sorry to keep introductions short, I've been fighting this issue for a week (at least), every time I try to copy paste something from one of my external drives to it, it would freeze so violently nothing short of a hard reset would fix it

I thought at first this could be a problem with MInt Mate but the same thing happened with Cinnamon so I also tried Debian, Trisquel, Solus and went back to Mint because if it's gonna keep happening no matter the distro at least Mint is the most aesthetically pleasing of the lot

I tried this viewtopic.php?t=283634
and this viewtopic.php?t=257598
and even this https://askubuntu.com/questions/397249/ ... ile-to-usb
this https://askubuntu.com/questions/734827/ ... -usb-drive
this too https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... a-pendrive

Edit: Hey if you're reading this and you have the same problems, you can try the above threads or make your own and ask for help; neither did anything for me. But installing windows did.

Looks like a hardware problem.
What does dmesg say?
