The last time I had a system lock-out was several
weeks ago, and just today, I experienced another.
I tried to access the system locally via the keyboard,
no response. Mouse, same. Remotely, not responding,
all remote connections, ports, etc. Not there.
Darn! hard reboot.
So, I looked at the system messages logs:
Aug 29 01:08:11 gold pulseaudio[7453]: alsa-sink.c: Increasing wakeup
watermark to 125.99 ms
Aug 29 10:14:32 gold kernel: imklog 3.22.1, log source = /proc/kmsg
started.
Yep, there is a 9 hour gap of no activity. It looks
like the system went to sleep just like I did when
it was time for bed. I got up this morning, but my
system never woke up. Lazy basta... oh, sorry.
It died.
Well, what else can I do, there seems to be no way
to figure out what is going on, if there is no record
of it!
It's locked up on me about a half dozen or so times in the past week.
Additionally, the box suspends at random times[1] (it's not a laptop)
and cannot be brought back out of it.
Also, Thunderbird and Firefox occasionally cannot display certain images
properly[2] and Thunderbird crashes if I try to paste text that's been
copied from either the terminal or jEdit. Yup, lots of nasty bugginess.
I don't know what else to check and don't think I can deal with this
much longer.
