Re: Debian 10 occasionally freezes after update from Debian
Try installing the latest kernel from backports. Searching the error messages leads to several reports a more recent kernel fixed those "pcieport" errors. That could fix your freezes. Thank you for this suggestion, I'll try and let you know. You need to clean up the OS so it produces outp...

Re: Debian 10 occasionally freezes after update from Debian
Now I'm using my laptop and waiting to see whether it crashes or not, here is the complete hardware report as of today FYI it does still crash, approximately once a day for no particular reason. No I have set up Journalctl so I can read the jurnal log as suggested in the very first posts. I collect...

Re: Debian 10 occasionally freezes after update from Debian
is one Debian the same as another? Mine run for months, and months. They should be able to run for years, but we shouldn't necessarily let them...some can't make it a day! Debian is the same but the hardware on which it runs is not the same, so in some sense no, they are not all the same. As I said...

Re: Debian 10 occasionally freezes after update from Debian
Finally I managed to perform a fresh install of Debian 10. Wireless was not working but I just installed the firmware package and now it works (I already knew it). Also, the package `linux-image-amd64` was already installed, I'm not sure why it was not there in the first installation of Debian 9. No...

Re: Debian 10 occasionally freezes after update from Debian
I finally updated the kernel by installing the `linux-image-amd64` package. Now I have an up-to-date machine and the computer no longer freezes when I resize the terminal window by dragging and dropping the bottom-right corner. Sometimes it still randomly freezes but much less frequently: say once a...

Re: Debian 10 occasionally freezes after update from Debian
I've never heard of production laptops before. Relax, it's just a laptop (not a server nor a commodity machine...). Here you state: A lot of effort actually. It took me three evenings to install Debian on this laptop (see the previous posts) and there is no guarantee that the system will work with ...

Re: Debian 10 occasionally freezes after update from Debian
Sorry about missing the tech specs that you already posted in #1. no problem Dell Inspiron 13-7359 (06FD): Compared to the Latitude or Precision the Inspirons are still nice machines, but much less flexible than the others. So you likely do not have the option to have a 2nd HD permanently in anothe...

Suppose... you've putting all the energy in a fresh install.... after first making a backup/image of your current system ... you might already being finished with that.... and have an answer on the instability?

Re: Debian 10 occasionally freezes after update from Debian
As for the stability, I found that the problem appears when I resize the xfce4-terminal or gnome-terminal by dragging and dropping the bottom right corner. Clicking on the buttons on the window title bars works flawlessly. Xterm and the other program windows work flawlessly. It seems pretty much a ...

My system is definitely a frankendebian. I have no doubt it is -> You should change the title of this topic, because You're NOT using Debian 10 , and it's not Debian 10 which is freezing on Your laptop -> apparently You're using some mix of software packages which are incompatible with each other. ...

Re: Debian 10 occasionally freezes after update from Debian
And no, a kernel installation will not touch any files in /lib/firmware and anyway the µcode is baked into the (old) initramfs so it wouldn't matter if it did. How can you be so sure? Because the kernel package doesn't touch anything in /lib/firmware That may be true for the wifi, but how can you b...

Re: Debian 10 occasionally freezes after update from Debian
I always update the system through apt but this doesn't upgrade the kernel unless I install the packages for the newer version The kernel will be kept updated as long as you have the linux-image-amd64 metapackage installed, that always lists the most recent kernel as a dependency. I don't have it, ...

Re: Debian 10 occasionally freezes after update from Debian
I find the most useful command is journalctl -b -1 -p 3 I'm a bit dubious about the "procedure from askubuntu". All you need to do is create the directory /var/log/journal to have a persistent journal. "Storage=auto" is the default which will save the journal as long as the dire...
