1

I was doing a bit of work related to nodejs and suddenly the whole system hanged after rebooting the system. the system takes quite alot time open application or get completly frozen. Nothing new dependency was installed recently and i dont have any clue…

I looked at my storage both partition have sufficient amount of free storage,
disabled indexer just in case
no io task are running in background
no load on cpu
1Gb memory use out of 8

everything looks ok dont know what to do, really need help solving this

No, it did not… I just tried a boot-able drive and everything work smoothly on live usb…Drive load really fast and i can access all the file with ease so its not an hardware/disk fault…

is there something that can give me some hint what is actually wrong…

the reason i replied this late is because i was opening the mozilla and there were many reboots in beetween

4

you are using the rt kernel, switch to lts kernel and try …
go to system settings/global theme and check use desktop layout from theme, click defaults, click apply
create a new user and log with it and see if there are issues too

5

new user does not have any issue, everything running smoothly

Switched to lts kernel and Switched to default theme. will share rest after reboot

@brahma

Here an updated, changed everything related theme its a little better but settings still takes alot of time to load and application closing get stuck…

7

so go to your home folder and rename the .config folder to .config.bak then reboot and see if it got rid of all the issues… dont worry a new .config folder will be recreated, so you will have two config folders: .config and .config.bak

Thank You, did exactly that and it has fixed the issue… i wonder what would have caused this issue

9

so you can now copy from the config.bak folder into the new config folder your programs configs, for example your browser and other programs that you are using, so that you dont have to configure them again… but dont copy plasma/kde configs so that you reintroduce the issues again from a corrupted config …

10

Yup, it seems, my theme required kvantam and it was the reason behind the whole thing… mistaken applied and same issue start happening again

11

good that you figured it out …
