--000000000000333e1105ff9bbd26 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced random freezes where everything except the mouse cursor becomes completely unresponsive. This began when I would come to my computer in the morning and find the screen black and the system in sleep mode. It would not wake up to keypresses or mouse movement. So I disabled power management in Plasma 5. This still happened after disabling power management, so I disabled the screensaver. That's when I would come to find my computer in the morning with the screen still on, but as soon as I would click on anything, everything but the cursor would freeze. At first, I thought it would happen only after being idle a long time. But then it began to happen while actively using the system after even a short time like less than an hour. It progressively became more frequent over a few days until it would happen immediately upon logging into Plasma 5. I originally installed 14-current onto a spare laptop hard drive that I installed on a secondary SATA port on my desktop just so I could test it. But after these issues occurred, I suspected a faulty hard drive and decided to install 14-current onto my main hard drive in a separate partition alongside Windows 10 and Gentoo. I went ahead and disabled sleep power management and the screensaver on the new installation. But I soon began to experience random lockups during use. I installed Gnome 3, LXQT, and Cinnamon desktops to try as alternatives. Maybe I haven't tested enough, but I have yet to experience any lockups with these other desktop environments. I had previously run Plasma 5 from quarterly on 13.2-release without any lockups. So maybe it's an issue with Plasma 5 from the latest repo. It's hard to know since there apparently is no quarterly repo available for 14-current. So it's unclear whether the issue is with the latest Plasma 5 or some compatibility issue with Plasma 5 on 14-current that I did not experience on 13.2-release. --000000000000333e1105ff9bbd26 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"auto">I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced rando= m freezes where everything except the mouse cursor becomes completely unres= ponsive.<div dir=3D"auto"><br></div><div dir=3D"auto">This began when I wou= ld come to my computer in the morning and find the screen black and the sys= tem in sleep mode.
