Hello:
I am looking for pointers on how to troubleshoot a thorny problem. This
afternoon at 4:30 pm, my openSuse
Leap 42.2 Linux OS froze up the keyboard, the mouse and left a black
screen. I tried some of the emergency
keyboard buttons, but they did not respond either. I had to finally
manual reboot the system by pressing the reset switch.
The monitor detected no input from the graphics card at all, I noticed
while pushing keyboard buttons and turning the
monitor off and on.
I believe that the system was running normally and I only have 4 gigs of
memory loaded in 12 gig memory space, as
the running leds for normal operation were lit.
After the manual reset, I went to the /var/log area, but it was clean,
as if everything was normal.
How does one troubleshoot a problem like this? I am not even sure of
where to start?
Thanks for the assist.
Randall
