From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have been facing this issue since yesterday, but basically at some point the system becomes insanely slow, and the restart and shutdown options disappear from the menu, tty3-7 dont work, it freezes at the shutdown -now command(at which point I just manually cut the power(bad Idea I know)),

but today I stuck around as my system got insanely borked, eventually freezing up and giving me the screen above. the problem shows up after I wake it up from suspend but not always: My system specs:

here are the journalctl entries that I think are relevant

entries for events 40 min before that.

and this is from when it happened earlier in the day

Can you enable SSH, and then try SSH into the box once it hangs?

Any OOMKiller messages in dmesg/journalctl? Do you have swap space?

Nothing in the logs jumped out at me, hopefully someone else can help you.

No i dont have another system that I can ssh with right now, There are some OOM messages before the timestamps in my first paste, I have edited the post to include more journalctl entries, yes I have a swapfile.

If you're on Android then you can use Termux (via F-droid) to get ssh capabilities. I think there is also a different iOS app, but I'm no expert on that OS, so I can't tell you its name. If you have a smart phone then you might have a ssh capable system after all

I think a-Shell's the best thing for that - gives you a nice Unix style shell on your iPhone.
