Frozen mouse/keyboard on login screen and crash of applications right after login
Hi all,
I've got two problems with my Linux Mint installation. I am using 17.3 Rosa with XFCE but the problems have been there already in the previous versions. Not sure if they are related:
1) Every now and then the keyboard/mouse isn't working on the login screen. However touchscreen is and after a reboot usually everything is fine.
2) It's weird but the first application (usually Firefox or Thunderbird) I open after login seems to crash after around 10 seconds without any warning
In my experience there can be two reasons. Corrupted installation (bad sectors on hard drive, etc) or hardware failure (bad RAM, etc). I'd start with running long smartctl test.
Thanks a lot for the replies. I checked RAM and HD but that seems fine. It's a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga (2 years old)... Sure it is not related to the installation? Windows is running pretty smooth
