Cant shutdown the system!(Fedora crashed)
Cant shutdown the system!(Fedora crashed)
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
You're viewing a single thread.
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.
There are android clients, probably one for iOS as well. If you are getting OOM killed, you need to work out what is using all your memory. The OOM killer is pretty indiscriminate, and will murder processes randomly.
Maybe keep system monitor up and keep an eye on memory usage?
