[shubhamfuloria]

Hi, I'm using Linux Mint OS since past few months . Everything works fine and smooth in this OS. But when I poweroff it , sometime it freezes with mint logo (most of the time it shuts down normally). I tried a lot of solutions available on the internet. Here I've a picture of the freeze which include kernel panic message. I'm attathcing my hardware and OS details also . Please help me to fix it .

[KGIII]

Do you have VirtualBox installed? I came across a similar error and the culprit was VBox.

 

[shubhamfuloria]

Do you have VirtualBox installed? I came across a similar error and the culprit was VBox.

No. There is only one Operating system installed ie MINT OS. (No virtual Box)

Which solutions did you try from the Internet ?

 

[shubhamfuloria]

Which solutions did you try from the Internet ?

I already tried these things

1. /etc/selinux/config
SELINUX=enforcing

2. /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet noefi"
sudo update-grub

3. Tried different kernels

4. And some other small things also , I don't remember now

sometime it freezes with mint logo (most of the time it shuts down normally)

Is the PC fully updated ?

 

[shubhamfuloria]

Is the PC fully updated ?

Yes it is fully updated.

 

[Condobloke]

The reason I asked if updated was I experienced my own pc not shutting down properly. Only twice.

I think (i am not sure) it was linked to an update. Two or three days later it had corrected itself and has not reoccured in over a fortnight.

I am also running linux Mint (cinnamon) 20.2

I will watch with interest to see if anyone else has experienced this and whether a solution is presented.

I find LM20.2 an absolute joy to use.

First with that machine i would go back to the 5.4 kernel. 5.11 has know problems with some I3 processors. Did you originally have problems with the 5.4 kernel?

 

[shubhamfuloria]

Actually I installed this OS only 1 month ago, since then I'm having this problem often. I don't know when I upgraded my kernel.

 

[Condobloke]

This LM20.2 was released with Kernel 5.4

You had problems with it then ?

Did you verify the download before the initial installation ?

 

[shubhamfuloria]

No, I guess . But not sure .

 

[Condobloke]

Is the above answer meaning that you are not sure if you had problems with it from the start or is it an answer to did you verify the download?

 

[kc1di]

you can re-install the 5.4 kernel by going to the update manager and clicking on view and select 5.4 kernel and install it if it's not already installed. If it is installed you can reboot to it via the grub menu which you can access by hitting the left shift key or the esc key depending on if it a UEFI install or bios. then go to advanced and select the 5.4 kernel. If that works delete the 5.11 kernel in the update manager so it will not be updated.

 

[shubhamfuloria]

Ohk, I'll do that . Thank you so much

 

[kc1di]

Ohk, I'll do that . Thank you so much

well lets see if that fixes it first

 

[shubhamfuloria]

well lets see if that fixes it first

I re-installed the 5.4 kernel and deleted the 5.11. It again got froze today with the same message .

 

[Condobloke]

Did this pc get a new hdd/ssd recently ?

Any hardware changes at all ?
