From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Edit: As I am in a rush to get this fixed I ended up doing a fresh install of Tumbleweed.

No idea, why this has happened. Just rebooted the computer after not having used it for a week or so and not all of a sudden not able to use the terminal at all. How do I go about troubleshooting this? Other terminals I've downloaded seem to be fine.

Any help appreciated.

Looks like some process in your startup scripts (fish profile, etc) have not completed. I have seen this type of thing when NFS mounts are unreachable. Try opening another terminal window... if it does the same thing, press Ctrl+C, then run ps -ef and see what processes are running as you that might be hung

might be a broken config.fish

dont think it is sadly, was working well before. Have not edited it much either. Also further troubleshooting seems there is something wrong with my system.

Have tried to troubleshoot a bit further, and sometimes it will pop-up like normal, but other times it wont. But for some reason my Dolphin can also not search for files, it will just freeze and hang until i close it. Seems like the issue is deeper...? Even using the command ls in BlackBox Terminal just hangs and makes the terminal freeze.

Not sure how to proceed to troubleshoot this...

I believe this all happened after I installed Windows on a separate SSD on my laptop, but i dont know for sure.

Try deleting your profile from ~/.local/share/konsole?

Just rename folder is enough as backup.

Navigating here just makes my Dolphin freeze, im not sure why...

edit: It opens each folder after about 5 min of waiting.

Any chance you have a network share that it might be trying/failing to mount?

[–] Sunny 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Hm that would be possible as I do mount one. But not sure why that would cause all the issues that was at hand. I've since reinstalled suse 🙃

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 3 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I've had a cifs share in my fstab before, mounting it to a folder in my home, and I took the PC off-site for a lan party, and just trying to ls my home dir took forever for some reason. Commenting it out and restarting fixed it all.

Good luck with the new install!

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Does Konsole do that too? When's the last time you ran a fsck, SMART test, or checked your SMART data?

[–] Sunny 1 points 7 months ago

Well this is a pretty new install, probably only a month old. But have not ran either of the commands you mentioned on this laptop.

[–] bizdelnick@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Too many files in a directory?

[–] Sunny 1 points 7 months ago

Nope, almost a fresh install and barely used a week or so. Really don't have a lot..

[–] kebabslob@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Check the usage of your disk. Might be disk is under lots of usage or is unhealthy

[–] Sunny 3 points 7 months ago

Wasn't able to do anything really, ended up doing a fresh install of Tumbleweed as I believe it will take less time than troubleshooting whatever the problem was. While not a great solution, I dont have the time right now to fiddle around heh. Will see if the issue remains on fresh install and to health checks ofc.
