Korora 25 Freezing on Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro
-
Most cases, updates alone do the trick.
-
Updates have completed. Rebooting now to load the new kernel.
-
Okay, fully updated. Now let's see what it does.
-
So far, so good. That was about half an hour, longer than it normally goes, and no freezing so far.

What does it normally do when it crashes?

The desktop freezes, but is still visible. The pointer will still move, but it cannot interact with the desktop. So forced to reboot.
-
Hopefully it was just an update needed. Maybe it was some driver in the new kernel.
-
Well, it has sat for several hours and is still working just fine.
-
Wondering if the direction sensor is part of the issue. Going to attempt moving it around a bit.
-
Makes sense, sensor issues could easily do that given that it's unique and not something that you would usually see with other devices.
-
Can't say as I've ever seen a way to configure that.
-
Ah, yup, testing that just killed the laptop. That's definitely at least related to the issue.
Can't find a rotation lock on Cinnamon, so in the mean time, testing Gnome3 and LXQT on there. At least going to see if we can isolate the issue. Getting closer, though.

Gnome3 does have the rotation lock option.

Testing that now. First test, it didn't work. It rotated after locking then freaked out.
-
The lock does not work. Even after being locked, if you turn the laptop, it rotates to portrait but it cannot rotate back to landscape. Not idea.
-
Although no crashes yet on Gnome 3, just weird rotational locking. Locked or unlocked, it switches to portrait but not back. It's always free to switch once but not again.
-
I turned off the hardware for orientation, so far so good.

I've only tried it using Fedora 25 Gnome3 on HP ProBook 450 G3.

Possible that Cinnamon is more fragile, since it is built on top of Gnome 3, there is more to go wrong. And it does not get as much testing. Gnome 3 works fine, so this might just be the solution if this tests out okay.

I modified /etc/sysctl.conf with this...
fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 262144And so far, things are working better.
