Re: [SOLVED] Total freeze

Do you get the same thing happening if you click on the OpenBox menu entry for Thunar?

How is tint2 calling thunar in the systray?
Like this:

launcher_item_app = /usr/share/applications/bl-file-manager.desktop

Never happened while calling thunar from openbox menu.

launcher_item_app = /usr/share/applications/bl-file-manager.desktop

That is the correct path.

Re: [SOLVED] Total freeze

What exactly have you tried to recover from this "freeze"?

For example, have you tried <Ctrl>+<Alt>+F2?

Nope nothing helped.
I tried everything i could remember.
I still dont know what caused the bug. Upgrading to stretch resolved it.

Use SysRq to drop out of Xorg to the TTY, read what you can, then restart (sysrq+reisub). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key. Though that should not be necessary if it's just a primitive userspace program that locks up X11.

SysRq is disabled by default in BunsenLabs.

Though that should not be necessary if it's just a primitive userspace program that locks up X11.

@OP: do these lockups occur if you load up the BunsenLabs ISO image and select the "live session"?

Re: [SOLVED] Total freeze

Thanks everybody for your reply. It seems that the issue was caused by tint2. After i compiled it from the source issue was resolved. Now it can be done just by installing tint2 from jessie-backports.
