My Debian freezes my keyboard and blanks my screen

[ELDebiano]

This started happening after I started working on the kernel image and initramfs tools configurations basically started trying to make my system work the way I wanted.

I can be doing anything like playing worms or being on this forum and the screen turns black but I don't lose energy just nothing shows on the screen and my keyboard doesn't respond the num lock doesn't turn either state, so I'm puzzle... if you could tell me what it is I'll be eternally grateful.

What kernel image are you using now?

What is your hardware?

Well I'm not using the new kernel image since I didn't like it I don't remember why so I turned my old grub.conf pointing to the original kernel version debiain 8.1 came with and my initrd img I replaced it with the original one as well since it messed up my fonts. my motherboard and all is:

Please describe in great detail exactly what you have done.

Have you tried resetting your initramfs configuration files, re-installing the stock kernel and re-configuring GRUB so that your system boots the default kernel version with a standard initrd?

yes I have my initramfs tool modules file empty, and I'm just pointing the grub to the older or first vmlinuz or kernel image and same for inird image I am using the back up file and deleted the newly created by initramfs -u. Still my pc frooze just now again turning off the screen.

^ Probably best to just delete (or move) the kernel images & initramfs and re-install the kernel package to generate fresh versions then run `update-grub`

Is there anything in the system logs relating to the freeze?

I like to use the systemd journal for this -- you can access it by adding your user to the "systemd-journal" group:

Code: Select all

# gpasswd -a <user name> systemd-journal
# newgrp systemd-journal
