How much RAM?

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 6:53 PM

#

@flint palm 128 gb ram

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 6:56 PM

#

I have no idea why with that much RAM

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 6:57 PM

#

Because I'm trying to run virtual machines as well as GPU passthrough

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 7:04 PM

#

Giving the vm's too much RAM?

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 7:06 PM

#

I gave it 64 gigs for my windows VM but I had the same problem with opening thunar file manager

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 7:08 PM

#

Drop it down to 32GB?

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 7:08 PM

#

Tried that didn't work

copy/paste the command, I think those results are for inxi -fxxz

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 7:15 PM

#

I copied and pasted the command said the same thing

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 7:15 PM

#

It actually sees all your RAM, might want to write down the time when it happens and then find that time in /var/log/syslog or possibly in a Xorg log

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 7:20 PM

#

How do I do that

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 7:25 PM

#

Actually see if there is a log program in the menu

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 7:28 PM

#

@flint palm I have a logs program

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 7:29 PM

#

Look through it for major errors, I don't know if it highlights

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 7:32 PM

#

I can't find anything in the logs application that would root to my issue that I'm having

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 7:35 PM

#

Open up /var/log in the file manager and look through syslog and maybe syslog1

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 7:39 PM

#

📎 syslog

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 7:44 PM

#

Must not have crashed since that log started

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 7:45 PM

#

I swear it crashed a few minutes ago when I tried to minimize the ram on my win11 vm

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 7:54 PM

#

It might be in an Xorg log then

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 7:56 PM

#

📎 Xorg.0.log

#

📎 Xorg.1.log

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 8:00 PM

#

Any chance you are using ctrl + alt + esc?

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 8:01 PM

#

What do you mean by that?

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 8:10 PM

#

That key combo might cause xfce to restart

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 8:11 PM

#

ok it think thats the issue as well since i tried it but how do i disable it

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 8:12 PM

#

Find the keyboard shortcuts, might be a program in program menu where you can replace with nothing

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 8:15 PM

#

I only have a application called keyboard but it has a section called application shortcuts

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

Is there a system tab

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

no just behavior and layout

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 8:40 PM

#

@flint palm also there's no program section in the menu

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 9:05 PM

#

Actually ctrl + alt + backspace will log you out

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 9:06 PM

#

Oh ok should I delete that in the keyboard application I mentioned earlier

#

Or is there a way for me to add the program section in Linux mint to get a better look at the keyboard shortcuts

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 9:13 PM

#

Cinnamon DE has a extensive shortcut list, it seems that xfce doesn't have many by default

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 9:14 PM

#

Ok so what should I do?

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 9:18 PM

#

Up to you, still not sure why you get logged out?

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 9:21 PM

#

Is there a way to add a programs section for the version of Linux mint I have

#

Also when I leave my system running without touching it it goes back to the log in screen but I think that's normal and nothing to do with the actual problem

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 9:29 PM

#

Not sure as I haven't used xfce

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 9:30 PM

#

Oh ok guess I'm out of ideas on what the problem is

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 9:31 PM

#

I would have either dmesg -w or tail -f /var/log/syslog running in terminal to see if something shows before the log out

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 9:32 PM

#

Ok should I do that?

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 9:32 PM

#

I would, it doesn't hurt anything

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

Ok

It seems that it doesn't read before the crash I really don't know what to do at this point

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 9:46 PM

#

Check some logs for Jan 7 21:36:11

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 9:47 PM

#

How?

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 9:50 PM

#

Get in /var/log and check the syslog file for that time stamp

What is going on at 21:35 - 21:36

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 10:02 PM

#

dont know

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 10:04 PM

#

At 21:36 it is already stopping stuff

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 10:06 PM

#

Do you think thats the problem because I tried to open my win11 vm but it crashed again to see if it would change anything in syslog

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 10:10 PM

#

I wonder if you should install an older 5.15 kernel and boot into it and see if it still happens

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 10:11 PM

#

Ok I could try that what is the command to do that

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 10:14 PM

#

Use the Update Manager, View menu, linux kernels to install an older kernel, then get the Grub menu at boot, advanced options, choose the older kernel. Might need to press and hold ESC at boot to get Grub menu

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 10:16 PM

#

It says I have 5.15.0-91 active should I ingnore that and install a older version

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 10:17 PM

#

go back into -80 something

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 10:27 PM

#

I installed 5.15.0-82 but nothing changed I really don't know what to do at this point

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 10:27 PM

#

what result from terminal for> uname -r

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 10:29 PM

#

5.15.0-91-generic

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 10:32 PM

#

You have to reboot and use grub advanced options to switch the kernel

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 10:32 PM

#

oh ok sorry how do i use grub advanced options

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

reboot, hold esc and see if grub menu appears

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 10:33 PM

#

ok

#

Ok I'm in the grub what should I do now

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 10:39 PM

#

Advanced Options, press enter, then scroll down to the first entry for a kernel that isn't 5.15.0-91

#

press enter to boot that kernel

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 10:43 PM

#

Tried that now again to no avail

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

I am not sure what is going on, ask a question on forums.linuxmint.com

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 10:54 PM

#

@flint palm What forum should I put the website

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 10:55 PM

#

Put it in beginner questions

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 10:56 PM

#

Ok thanks because I tried to put it in virtual machine and software forums but no one saw them

flint palm Jan 7, 2024, 10:57 PM

#

What username on the forums?

fickle hawk Jan 7, 2024, 11:00 PM
