Hey,

I’m currently running Trisquel Aramo. Like the OS so far, but I have a slightly annoying issue. At seemingly random times, Trisquel shuts down/logs out. The loginscreen appears, and I need to login again.

Can I do anything to prevent the crashes?

Any help is appreciated.

Trisquel shuts down/logs out.

Does the system crash (a kernel panic), power off, reboot or are you directly back to the login screen?

In any case, the problem must be diagnosed. If you are directly back to the login screen, I would log in and read in a terminal the last errors of the current session:
$ journalctl -b -p 3
If there is no relevant error, you can increase the number (to 4 to only see warnings or worse). After a reboot, you must instead read the errors of the previous session:
$ journalctl -b -1 -p 3

Thanks for answering. I'm not entirely sure, it's definitively not a power off, most probably a logout as all programs gets shut down.

This is what I see in the journal after the logout happens, beside some bluez and backintime stuff.

Could this be related?

Maybe you can test and share about it.

That (the i915 driver crashing Xorg) would be my guess too. Administrative privileges are needed to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf (here with Pluma but another text editor can be used):
$ sudo pluma /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
The lines to write are behind the link but, here they are again, for that thread to be self-contained:
Section "Device
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "Intel
Option "TearFree" "true
EndSection

After saving, I guess the change is only taken into consideration after a restart of the graphical session.
