I dont know if this is my install or a bug but I’ve been using Fedora for years and after a fresh install last weekend from a USB/install to drive I have an issue.
I added LXDE after installing to my drive and I never turn my machine off. So here is the issue. I log into the desktop do my stuff and leave everything open. When I am does I just turn the monitors off as its a secure home machine.
Now when I come back I have to log back in (Usually after several hours) but everything I left has gone. Its like a completely new desktop session. I’ve never had this issue before and I’ve certainly not configured anything to do this.
Is this a common issue or am I simply missing the obvious here. Most of my Fedora work is done from bash but trying to find help of the specific (Desktop/session/login) issue yields results that dont seem to be related.
I suspect I am missing something here but if anyone can point me in the right direction on where to start investigating why I would appreciate it
I had an issue with bind mounts of sysfs/dev/proc… It made X11 crash somehow when trying to chroot into an ubuntu system … Didn’t do it any more, but made many changes and installed xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu that fixed many things on my system.
Close running containers and check if it still happens. Check last logs and try to find what stopped working first.
A crash would make sense, strangely I’ve woke up this morning logged in and everything was there. The crash is looking more likely so now I have to start thinking what was running when the sessions crashed. Next time it happens I will check journalctl and dmesg and see what I find.
I dont know why it didnt occur to me that something would be causing a crash anyway thanks for the help guys/gals it gives me a place to start and hopefully from there I can find the cause
