Its the strangest thing, as it just started recently. I’m honestly not sure if it freezes or my touchpad somehow gets disabled. I’m wondering that because most of the time it happens, my dell xps laptop isn’t under any sort of heavy load. Its strange. Idk know where to start or what commands would help you guys help me?

I’ve spent hours before trying to make sense of logs lol but I just don’t quite understand the info. Its gotta be some sort of conflicting software or something. I’m always trying new things, so I take full blame for this issue most likely lol. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    So you can’t switch to TTY with ctrl + alt + f1 (or f2, f3, f4) ?

    You could try booting from live usb and check previous dmesg logs (/var/log/dmesg.0 or something, I think)

    You could try to narrow the issue by trying to plug in other keyboard or mouse and check if that works.

    If not, then probably not a touchpad/keyboard driver issue.

    Are the crashes random? Could it be the system crashes when it’s going to sleep/wake up after the system is idle?

    I’ll try to think something else when my hangover passes… :D

      Uhmm for the most part its random. It was much less frequent the other day but not it’s happening more and more. And yup, tried all the CTL alt f1-all of them lol like I’m aware logs will probably give the best insight but I don’t know much about which log and what it all means plus they’re long as fuck. Maybe I should look into log analyzers?
