I'm on Parabola (a fork of Arch), and I'm running the XFCE desktop environment. However, I periodically get these weird crashes, where my entire desktop freezes. I have no ability to move my cursor (in fact, I can't even see my cursor), my machine doesn't respond to any keyboard input (I can't even switch to another tty), and basically only the power button works. However, at the same time, if I (for example) have music playing in the background, then it keeps playing without problems.I'm totally unsure how to diagnose the source of my problem. Where can I look, and what would I be looking for to detect what causes such behaviour?
Random crashes on XFCE - how to diagnose what's happening?
