Blank White Background Reveals Freezing Issue on Linux Mint 21.2 Xfce

Hi everyone,

Blank White background screen helped me identify some issues with my laptop running Linux Mint 21.2 with Xfce. After installing it, the system works fine for a few minutes but then freezes completely. The screen goes unresponsive, and I have to shut it down using the power button. This happens randomly, sometimes when opening the start menu, browsing the web, or running a Docker image. Using the blank screen helped me observe the freezing moments more clearly, but I’m still unsure what is causing it.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue or have any suggestions for troubleshooting?

Thanks!

Hello and welcome.

Log files would be very helpful here. If you have to shit it down and restart, then:

1. Post the contents of ~/.xession-errors.old

2. And the results of:

   journalctl --user -b -1

Also I think Mint has some sort of utility that displays system info - post that back as well.
