  • What hardware? And can you narrow down when during updates?

    I had this problem on Arch on a 5 year old Lenovo laptop with an Nvidia 1660ti GPU. With judicious use of set -x I narrowed it down to systemd daemon-reload.

    I actually changed my ext4 journal mode and added a pacman hook in that calls sync before any systemd hooks ran, after the second time half of the package updates got lost due to the freeze.

    Because the problem only happened most times, and usually not soon after a reboot, I can’t prove it, but the problem hasn’t reoccurred since I switched the Nvidia driver to the open flavor.








  • Solo mode isn’t offline.


    Few will frown on you, as you’re not affecting anyone if you do. (More people will frown on actively doing power play in solo)

    As an alternative, you could build your ship to be a bit sturdier, so you can live long enough to escape to another system.

    But last time I did that, in my extremely shielded trading cutter, I kept getting pulled by the same person, even after I demonstrated I easily got away and they couldn’t dent my shields. So you still might not get anything done.
