New comment by Curiositry in "Twenty Years of Pandoc"

Curiositry — Tue, 04 Aug 2026 03:46:08 +0000

Pandoc is a fantastic piece of software. I have never had any issues with it, and it's the tool I reach for anytime I need to covert documents. I'm super grateful to John MacFarlane for creating it and maintaining it for all these years!

Ask HN: How do you troubleshoot desktop Linux crashes/freezes?

Curiositry — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 22:25:59 +0000

I've been using Linux all my life. I’d like to be able to claim that it’s stable, but that’s not my experience :) So I’d like to get better at recovering from freezes and crashes, and finding the root cause.

I make extensive use of Ctrl+Alt+f3, and magic system request keys (Ctrl+Alt+PrtSc+f; Ctrl+Alt+PrtSc+reisub). But often the system is too far gone to drop to a virtual terminal. In these cases, I usually try to find clues in dmesg/syslog/journalctl.

The bulk of issues seem to be caused by Nvidia GPUs, and suspend.

What are your go-to commands for recovery? And, when that isn't an option, how do you post-mortem after rebooting?
