After i did apt upgrade today, my system started to freeze in random moments, or when I tried to do something a little bit more challenging than commands in terminal. One time even moving a cursor on desktop was enough for it to freeze. There is no way to unfreeze it, but to shut it down manually by the power button. I have already tried reinstalling the system. Before I did upgrade everything went smoothly, but after that problem appeared again. I have no idea what do do, maybe some package update has got a bug that causes freezing?
I have 12 GB of ram, but I donāt think itās the problem. Average memory use is 9%. Today my system has freezed from just having system monitor open. I suppose there can be a problem with some additional graphical drivers that are installed with the first apt upgrade. As I said, there was no problem before I upgraded my system. Also I have noticed, that when my computer freezes, fan starts to work at full speed and laptop is getting very hot. SysReq does not work.
I am having the same issue after the latest Parrot Os upgrade. I am using the Parrot Home version, with 8 GB RAM, 100 GB partition for Parrot OS in my HP notebook. The entire OS freezes when I just do something like using terminal or open two tabs in firefox. I waited for almost 15 mins and only the shutdown by powerbutton seems to work. Later when I restart, the same freezing issue occurs. I have been a user and fan of Parrot OS for 4+ years, I havenāt faced any issue like this one and it is frustrating.
And on the latest update I got the following error.
Loading new virtualbox-guest-6.1.22 DKMS files...

All we can do is hope that this will be fixed in upcoming update!
No, I just dual boot it along with Windows 11. SInce I have an i3 processor , it would be pretty much bad if I use virtual machine. I just downloaded the following,
I downloaded torrent and created USB live and installed using it. After installation there was no issue in the OS as it worked fine. But when I used āsudo parrot-upgradeā it showed the mentioned virtualbox-guest-dkms error and started crashing.
I have also noted that the fan speed is higher when parrot OS froze.
I have created USB live using Balena Etcher.
Please find the iso file details I have used.
Thatās strange. The virtualbox-guest-dkms is only needed if Linux is running in a virtual machine as a guest. The developers might have added the package for those running Parrot on a VM and now the latest virtualbox-guest-dkms is causing an issue on bare metal installs.
I think this has something to do with HP notebook BIOS update. I have disabled the Virtualization Technology which was newly added and enabled after the BIOS update. Try disabling it in BIOS setup and give Parrot OS a try. Mine is working fine after doing so.
I think maybe you should try reinstalling the parrot OS once and update it. Please also ensure that Virtualization Technology is disabled before reinstalling the OS.
Yeah, I tried Fedora. It is having the same issue, installed it, updated, then rebooted and it started freezing again. I believe it has something to do with my Windows 11 update along with BIOS update. Crap, I hate windows even more now. Let me know if you find anything working.
Edit: It seems like this issue is in all linux distros when updating above Kernel 5.10.
