If "Linux" is programmed to use a particular area of memory that makes it crash, then this is a software related issue, isn't it? Isn't there a log file somewhere that can confirm what the problem is, whether or not it is hardware related, or at least which package the crash is related to? //Robin Oberg

But seeing as it works fine to charge this old iPhone 4 in Windows, so it does not seem like a hardware malfunction in this particular case. Everything except the mouse just freezes, and no keyboard combination I can think of helps. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+Q, Ctrl+Esc, Super+Esc, Ctrl +Alt+Del... There is only one way out, and that's to hard-reboot everything (which my harddrive doesn't seem to enjoy). //Robin Oberg
Do not know which package bug is in
Hi! I'm new to Linux and Debian 8.3, but thought I'd help out by sharing this bug that I've found. My system crashes randomly when my iPhone is charging via USB, and every time that it happens I am forced to hard-reboot the laptop by holding down the power button. I don't know where in the system this bug could be located, what package it might be. And that's apparently a required thing to do know when one is reporting a bug. Any help would be appreciated. //Robin Oberg
