(SOLVED) Various Problems after fresh instalation leading to unusable system.

[ewfaeuk]

I did a fairly standard instalation on a new 1 tb samsung ssd on my acer aspire e5-576 laptop.
I tried various instalation methods and partitioning layouts with architect and as the problems always showed up I decided to install the gnome variant from it's image (over a usb stick).

My Problems:

• Random small freezes
• The "taskmanager"/system monitor app crashes when I click on tab with the graphs
• shutdown takes ages ( I pressed the power of button after like 3-4 min) In essence the picture freezes and it seems like nothing happens.)
• sudo sometimes hangs forever (i tried "sudo echo hi") and it does nothing (just hangs)
• statup takes like >2 minutes where my debian on the older m.2 ssd took only a few seconds.
• the list goes on a bit like that.

I have disk encryption activated.
My sytem usage is low (I used top to find out that the ram is ~750mb/8gb and the cpu is idle most of the time)

I tried reading from m.2 ssd and my new 1tb ssd with the benchmark tool in the diskmanger from the gnome live iso and the speeds were similar (lowest 350mb/s)

Any ideas what went wrong / how I can fix this?

Update: I currently try updating my system. needed to use su because sudo is broken...
And my display turned off and doesn't wake up again..
Update running again after a restart...
After coming back to the laptop after a while the screen is of and it doesn't turn back on regardless of the turn screen off : never that I set a in foresight.... d**n it

How to provide good information in your posts

When asking questions in the forum, it would be most helpful to all members if you provide some basic information. When you provide info from the terminal, usually from your logs, you have to format it so the content is easy to read. First copy and paste your text/terminal/code into the post Then select the text/code and click the post edit toolbar button </> . Another handy way is to use 3 backticks ` at the start and 3 more at the end of the text like this: ``` Paste text or code here …

Important knowledge

Please select the text in the terminal
Paste the text into the post
Select the newly pasted text in the post
Click the </> icon in the post toolbar

This creates nicely formatted text.

sudo is broken...

???

Maybe you need newer kernel on very new hardware and start a fresh install with manjaro architect.

I'm still trieng to update the system. the browser doesn't work and firefox isn't installed because I choose the minimal instalation so showing logs is difficult until I have updated the system and installed firefox. Also the hardware isn't that new I bought it q1 of 2018.

Use terminal, post output

inxi -Fxxxza --no-host

and read Impotant knowledge

So Grub-Bootmenu update takes too long, I'll install debian on the ssd to see if its the fault of the ssd or manjaro + my laptop. After testing that I shall do a fresh standard install with architect and see wether its still unusable unstable.

Debian 10 works perfectly fine so it's manjaro + my laptop.
It uses the 4.19.0-6-amd64 kernel so I'll choose that one for my architect install, lets see how it goes.

I did a fresh architect - gnome reinstall only this time I selected the proprietary graphics drives and the 4.19 kernel.
It works fine now and has a quick ~30sec power-on to desktop time.
None off the issues above apply anymore
Now its time to install my software and get my data on it!

As I'm writing this the screen turned of and didn't recover, but thats a problem for another time and it's probably my laptops fault.
