For whatever reasons I need to reboot my laptop every 5 days now. Normally it is suspended/resumed a couple/few times a day. Sometimes during reboot my screen goes black for a long period. How long should I wait before performing a hard reset (holding power button down for 10 seconds)?

          Chances are there is a "stop job" running in the background or an input inhibitor activated. You should wait 2 minutes for them to end normally before forcing an abend (abnormal ending) with a hard reboot (holding the power key down for 10 seconds).



          If this problem happens frequently to you, try closing all your open applications before you reboot.

          • I would also suggest using Sysrq keys (REISUB etc) to restart; and using the power-button only if absolutely necessary.
