Eddie plays dead - Mint Sylvia

[Old Fella 10]

Almost every time I go to shut down or restart Linux Mint 18.3 the Eddie Window is unresponsive; I can display it but I am unable to click anything on it. Initially I just shut the system down regardless but if I don't want to sign out I have to shut down all *vpn processes manually, usually with htop cos its quicker.

 

Just what might the issue be? It isn't new, I've had this happen for a long time, just not as often.

​I have the same issue Eddie becomes unresponsive at least once every day

Hello!

 

It's not helpful to declare this, if you don't also at least state which Eddie you're experiencing this on . So I urge you all to upgrade to the experimental Eddie client and see how you do.

 

Instructions can be found in my signature if you don't know how to download the experimental client.

 

Then if you run into any problems, you can post about them in the feedback thread designed specifically for the experimental client and thus help make Eddie better. Thank you.
