Hi all, sorry if I post this the wrong place.

I have a laptop running mint with qtile which sometimes freezes. To the point where nothing responds and I need to kill it. I’ve tried: sudo journalctl But I don’t get any information which helps me.

Can anyone help to debug it?

    Since you specifically mention qtile you should undo your customizations and see if that fixes your problem?

    If not, you should look at the journal after reboot:

    journalctl -b

    But you’ll need to filter it.

    Try journalctl -b | grep -v rtkit-daemon, which will remove the masses of entries you bemoaned in another comment (AFAICS all syslog entries should also be in the journal anyhow).

    Very important:
    Please make note of when the problem happened, and if your journal entries even go that far in time.

      Also, add -r to show the log in reverse. If you want to look at previous boots other than the last you can specify like so journalctl -b -2 -r
