Kali Linux (2023.1) randomly freezes on Dell Latitude 7490

By

Kali Linux(2023.1) randomly hard freezes on Dell Latitude 7490. This can happen immediately or after few minutes.

This is  likely caused by a bug in integrated Intel GPU (i915) driver, see the following links for more information:

Bug 102586 - System freeze with Kernels > 4.11.x (freeze on 4.12.x and 4.13.x) 

Fix for Intel i915 GPU Freeze on Recent Linux Kernels

Workaround:

  1. Touch /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf

    options i915 enable_psr=0
  3. Reboot

//end

The following add-ins could not be started MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform

Installing MonoDevelop in OpenSUSE 12.2 from its repository was very easy.

References: http://software.1713.n2.nabble.com/MonoDevelop-and-openSUSE-12-1-td7462957.html [2013/04/09] - Same issue observed in OpenSUSE 12.3 and also the same fix. [2014/11/02] - Same issue observed in OpenSUSE 13.3, mondevelop 3.0.6 and the same fix.
