Same Framework, same OS (Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon), same problem … for me, it is brand new, just started happening about 2 hours ago.
Notably … when I installed Mint 22.1 a couple of weeks ago, I did not have this problem … but I did have other problems – system would not do anything (lockscreen/shutdown/suspend) when I closed the lid, screen brightness controls did not work, some other things.
This morning, I was about to file a support ticket with FW about this, when I discovered that my new installation of Mint had opted for an old(er) Linux kernel … 6.8.something. So I upgraded to the latest kernel, 6.14 … and that solved all of my issues … but it also introduced this new issue where the entire DE freezes up (except the mouse pointer) and I’m forced to reboot or at least restart the DE from the TTY screen.
So, I’m not ready to try it yet, but rolling back to a significantly older kernel might fix this issue – though it might introduce other issues in the process, too … but at least the OS keeps running.
…
I see 3 other people in this thread have reported the same issue, so it’s not a “one-off”. Suggestions?
