How to: Trouble shoot

[OmniCloud]

I use Ubuntu...which is very nice btw...

But sometimes my system freezes up on me, naturally just like any other OS or whatever.

However, sometimes I have to restart multiple time for the system to kind of get back "on track" so to speak.

My test is as soon as I boot up, I right click and try to change my desktop background. I set it up so the Ubuntu noise happens whenever I use that function, if no sounds comes up, I know I have to restart again...

So I'm told that Linuz can be debunked, altered, tweaked and all sorts of stuff.

So basically, how do I identify this little bug?

How do I fix it?

Is it a hardware issue or software?

Just for future reference, the best thing about Linux is its modularity. When you have a problem in Windows that requires a restart, in Linux, you can just restart the offending program/service/part of the whole running system.

In my use of Ubuntu and Kubuntu, I've noticed there are just alot of little quirks. I don't know why or how they're there. I am assuming the problem is that if you don't get sound that first time, then you know sound won't be working unless you restart?

It's like a freeze that takes a while to let up...

Sometimes I leave my PC on for weeks/months and it's fine, then sometimes I gotta reboot multiple times to get the freeze off...

[Garfunkel]

ok, we'll try:

get your system in a state where it does not want to work properly (when no apps will work), fire up one app that doesn't work and go to a terminal and type:

top

then press ctrl+c

post what top reports.

Then repeat this again after launching more then one application.

Dammit!!! I can't get anything to work in the freeze

[OmniCloud]

I'm looking at the terminal now with the freeze...I had to put a terminal Icon on my desktop to get it to respond when the freeze is on...

However, It seems i can't take a picture of the terminal....I'll copy as much as I can...

Also, I just keep my comp on in the freeze mode to see where we can go with this...Here's what I got so far...

Dammit Can't copy and paste!!!

smilez@smilez-desktop:~$ Nothing interesting to me.

[Khaos]

You cannot restart only the graphical window system in Windows, portions of the Windows kernel, etc is what I meant. Even KDE and Gnome are mostly modular, so portions of them can be stopped and restarted.

[Garfunkel]

I guess you can't stop services in Windows, right?

Right, but you can't stop your window manager and any processes related, you can't shut down certain processes that have a dependency on others. You can't shut down some without your system restarting, you can't determine whether the issue is a GUI specific bug etc.

Your gonna hate me omni, i can't draw much on that, looks normal.

Do you have compiz/beryl on when this instability occurs?

just to be sure, type:

metacity --replace &

and just see if that does anything. Beryl can cause some strange issues. For example, for me when i run compiz-fusion SOME of amarok's visualizations, my init CPU utilization goes up to ~68% from almost nothing, for no reason at all.

[OmniCloud]

I'll take off compiz for a little to see if it helps...

this is just me keeping records of stuff I'm trying to do and using the forums as space...

don't mind;)

LOL, ok, just one thing, the resource was unavailable due to the fact you didn't run sudo apt-get update before sudo apt-get install, or of course the server could have been down.

Cool, do you know why I'm getting this error message? Do I have to do a restart first?

[Khaos]

With a quick glance, I'd say your compiz settings are screwy. Not sure how you would clear 'em all out, though.

hahahahahahaahaha...

I'm gonna FIGURE THIS OUT!!!!

ahhahhahhahahahh


YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!

ARARRHHH...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Garfunkel]

i don't know, but i agree with khaos. i would recommend removing anything and everything to do with compiz and beryl and follow the guide on the ubuntu forums to figure out how to get compiz-fusion going.

sudo apt-get --purge remove beryl* compiz*

the * are wildcard characters which can be used to select multiple apps to remove, for example "beryl*" will remove beryl and any other packages with "beryl" in the name, and any number of letters after (eg: beryl-core)
