hi i got stuck because the screen is freezing sometimes. (i must use reisub to be back on the sys) i show a little part of the entire logs (it's thousand lines or something huge)
#Xorg crash with AMDGPU and Firefox
ember elm
apparently the problem is coming from the browser Mozila Firefox...
i don't get much informations about it
and i don't know how to solve it

what does inxi -G say?

How much RAM?
One thing that causes freezes is for instance running entirely out of ram
Also hardware failure, overheating, etc
Why do I see a service to check the checksum of the iso? Is this the live environment rather than an actual install?
If it is really just Firefox crashing X consider disabling hardware decoding of video, note not all hardware acceleration just decoding
ember elm
How much RAM?
32 ddr 4
ember elm
Also hardware failure, overheating, etc
no
ember elm
Why do I see a service to check the checksum of the iso? Is this the live enviro...
idk is it weird to have a checksum service ? and yes it's the live env
sterile fox
ok so A) check the checksum of the iso
B) consider using a different usb drive if A) isn't the option
its probably a defective download
ember elm
its probably a defective download
of a driver ?
yes i have kali "booted" on a key to manage my computer volumes and other stuff that i can't manage from the linux mint OS
sterile fox
no its probably a defective iso file
which is why the instructions are to check it by comparing the checksum of the iso with the published checsum
which would indicate a defective usb drive, defective iso file, defective memory, or some unforeseen software defect
the highest probability is the iso file did not download correctly
you can verify that its correct by checksumming the iso file used to create the live usb
since this will keep you from creating a working install you should do so
ember elm
oh ok i see
sterile fox
This is the most obvious, likely, and trivally reproducible error and thus worth tracking down
ember elm
oh god
sterile fox
was that it?
ember elm
i have the linux mint 22.1 Xia 64bit.iso
but now how to get the the good checksum from the web ...
sterile fox
its on mints website
ember elm
it's too hard to check the good one beetween all versions...
sterile fox
no it just isn't
you don't have to compare it to all possible versions
the filename should tell you exactly what you have
ember elm
it is because i don't remember if i got the french version of the english one
sterile fox
so
ember elm
oh ok
sterile fox
is there even a french version? I thought you just picked the language at startup?
ember elm
look here there a ton of versions : https://linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=319
sterile fox
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/linuxmint/stable/22.1/sha256sum.txt only shows 3 versions
you are looking at different mirrors
ember elm
just for us it's like more than 5 versions...
sterile fox
which aren't different ISOs
ember elm
what is the differences with "mirrors" ?
sterile fox
a mirror is a different place to get the same thing
its not a different thing
the link I showed you with 3 possible checksums for the different desktops is all 3 options
ember elm
i think i am lost explained like this... 🤣
sterile fox
there are only 3 numbers
get the checksum of your file
and see if it matches one of them
the 3 numers are on https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/linuxmint/stable/22.1/sha256sum.txt
its a single text file
you also probably remember what desktop you picked
so there is really only 1 number to check
ember elm
i have to go to linux mint to check the iso file ot the liux mint ?
really ?
it's what they say on their official page
sterile fox
I don't know what you are trying to say
you checksum the original download you downloaded to create the usb drive
it doesn't matter what you are booted into
ember elm
i mean i want to check the iso file because this file is on a different computer
sterile fox
which is why you were supposed to do it beforehand
also you do realize you are supposed to use the mint usb to install an OS to your computer not use it as an OS right?
ember elm
yea i see
i know now that is important to check iso file i was thinking there enough redoundant data (like zip files) to not check it
sterile fox
no
if you want a perfect download do it via torrent
which does checksum the chunks
ember elm
ok
sterile fox
since you didn't do that I suggest you boot up the other OS OR mount the filesystem
ember elm
oomg it's taking a day
ember elm
since you didn't do that I suggest you boot up the other OS OR mount the filesys...
integrity check is right
sterile fox
ok so unless the problem re-occurs assume there isn't one
ember elm
...
sterile fox
if you see a re-cocuring issue look deeper
sterile fox
what does that mean?
ember elm
it's the second time i got a similar crash (but last time i didn't check terminal info)
well we see at the third time
ah... every day i got updates from linux mint
sterile fox
you realize that you aren't meaningfully keeping updates between reboots right?
live usb basically reverts to default state the second you reboot
you are intended to use it to install your OS. If it has crashed more than once AND the iso actually checksummed as correct you should consider using a different USB and checking your RAM
then install the actual OS and update to latest updates
and THEN if the hardware is logically sound you should troubleshoot crashing
