OS update wasn’t effective.
Killing qjackctl was effective to solve GUI freeze.
To start from the result upgrade to the latest one solved this.
It involved package manager repository error maybe…
Came back after a while
pulseaudio dependency programs upgrade and low latency kernel upgrade
pulseaudio dependency programs upgrade and low latency kernel upgrade to 4.15.0-47-lowlatency solved the problem finally. to 4.4.0-145-lowlatency is better. 4.15 version has error, jack sound clipping error.
I tried
sudo apt-get remove --purge qjackctl
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qjackctl
This made elapse time to freeze longer perhaps but not solved.
My case version not upgraded upper than 0.4.5.
masa@em-p:~$ qjackctl -v
Qt: 4.8.7
QjackCtl: 0.4.5
Latest is 0.5.5
I tried to install latest one but not upgraded.
tried download the source and ./configure, make install, but still 0.4.5.
After reboot, upgraded to 0.5.5.
This removed the problem so far…
Case closed!!!
Killing process launching console by
ctrl + alt + F2
and
ps x | grep qjackctl
kill PID(qjackctl)
and back to the GUI by
ctrl + alt + F7
was very plentiful study source for me…
I will write a post about this …
#apt-get #repository #Xdesktop #process

error has came back….
When Tried to driver update, apt-get error found.
tried kill pulseaudio
masa@em-p:~$ pulseaudio --kill
masa@em-p:~$ ps x |grep pulse
4512 ? S<l 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog
4517 pts/17 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto pulse
Before kill pulseaudio, check the grep result
masa@em-p:~$ pulseaudio --start
masa@em-p:s x |grep pulse
4535 ? S<l 0:00 pulseaudio --start
4541 pts/17 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto pulse
Checked pulseaudio version
masa@em-p:~$ pulseaudio --version
pulseaudio 8.0
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/
Tried to upgrade pulseaudio. Xenial’s latest is 8.0 but dependency library were upgraded. Also low-latency kernel latest one added.
masa@em-p:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade pulseaudio

masa@em-p:~$
next time upgrade seemed successful.
New kernel added.
check the kernel version.
masa@em-p:~$ uname -r
4.4.0-143-lowlatency
check available kernel versions
sudo apt-cache search linux-image
download latest one from this deb file.
reboot and select the new one
masa@em-p:~$ uname -r
4.15.0-47-lowlatency
This solved the problem!!!
Next grub configuration to set to default the new kernel.
==========================================================
P.S
And another problem. dbus-send error problem. Is this have any relation to freeze error?
masa@em-p:~$ dbus-send --system /org/rncbc/qjackctl org.rncbc.qjackctl.stop
