Dear all,
I am running scientific linux on a ThinkPad t440p. During the past 1.5
years, I have been experiencing the same apparently unsolvable problem
with SL 7.5. Every time I closed the pc without locking it or I tried to
restart it, the pc froze and the only thing to do was to force shut
down. I have been using GNOME classic but with any other desktop as well
(I tried them all) the problem persisted.
I upgraded yesterday to SL 7.6 and finally the issue disappeared. This
morning I started again the session and SL was back to 7.5. When I start
the session (I have windows 7 dual-boot) I can choose only between some
versions of SL 7.5 and windows. The aesthetics is then exactly as it was
with SL 7.5, but when I check which version I am running it shows SL
7.6. The old issue came back and again it freezes every time.
Could someone help me with the matter? To summarize, the selections
during boot phase, the aesthetics, and the old issues of SL 7.5 are
back, but I upgraded to SL 7.6 and when I ask for the OS the output is

Hi: In the past people have found that their systems had not properly
upgraded. I don't know whether the underlying problems have been fixed
now, but this thread might help:

This bit of magic, from a recent post, is said to stop that link getting
camouflaged:

The 'overnight' freezes problem really needs logs, or at least some
indication of what processes had been active. Firefox videos, perhaps?
