Hello. This question: There is an ancient laptop that hangs constantly, but when you move the mouse immediately hangs. It is worth ubuntu - I write in the command console, they do not appear on the screen until the mouse moves. System reinstalled - the same. I think that the problem is in the gland. Tell me, please, in which?

  • one
    And what happens when typing outside the X when the mouse doesn't work? Press Ctrl + Alt + F1 , try to work in the console. What's happening? - ulltor
  • And there is no debugger: P - Indy
  • There were no helpers for a long time, the debugger, desperate to quit smoking. - tfiwsrets 7:06 pm
  • No X's the same. The first hour is still more or less, then it starts to freeze, and after a while the computer simply hangs. acpi -t = starts at 50.8, creeps over time to 65. hddtemp - starts at 30, rises to about 45. - tfiwsrets

So, let's localize the problem:

memtest . If everything is fine, then:

 $ cat /dev/urandom | gzip --best > /dev/null

This should quickly warm up the processor, but not touch the HDD.

If it warms up, but does not fall, then we will deal with a hard disk:

 $ while true; do dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/hothdd bs=1M count=100; done
  • warming up the processor oddly went good. somewhere on the 68C brakes have stopped. warming up the hard disk did not affect the performance. Do you really need to warm up the percent? - tfiwsrets
  • But is there a team that would not warm up the processor quickly or not warm it up at all, but take something up? apparently, it is necessary to borrow something. - tfiwsrets
  • You can, of course, run something like this: $ nice -n 19 gzip - fast </ dev / urandom> / dev / null But please show this first: $ cat / sys / devices / system / cpu / cpu0 / cpufreq / scaling_governor $ cat / sys / devices / system / cpu / cpu0 / cpufreq / scaling_available_governors - ulltor
  • "There is no such file or directory". and the tab after cpu does not respond. ls / sys / devices / system / cpu power subsysten type uevent - tfiwsrets 2:51 pm
  • To be honest, I ran out of guesswork. Do other distros work the same way, or just Ubuntu? - ulltor
