Debian :: Complete System Freeze During Shutdown?
Apr 1, 2010
When I try to shut my PC down (press the shutdown button in KDE 4.3.4), the desktop quits, but the console screen does not appear (the CTRL+ALT+F1 screen). Well, technically speaking it appears but only a still (not blinking) cursor is shown, otherwise the whole screen is blank. This means that not only the X freezes but whole system, because the keyboard is unresponsive too. It happend multiple times now, and every time I reboot after such event, some kde rc files (amarokrc, kmailrc, etc...) get deleted due to the automated filesystem check (unclean umount), which means that I have to reconfigure these apps again.
My home partition is on a separate EXT2 partition (this way I have full r/w access from winxp) and every time this is the only one which gets corrupted. The system partition (which is EXT3) is always intact (no fsck starts on boot). I'm using Debian Squeeze by the way.

when my monitor turns off after 30 minutes, I cannot do anything after. We're talking complete lock down of Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit. Not even alt+printscreen+REISUB reboots the machine; I have to do a hard reboot (which sucks and is hard on hardware).

All of these freezes happen either while I'm in Nautilus or I'm opening Nautilus. The usual Ctrl+Alt+Fx (x being one to six) to get into the backstage does not work. If I have some music open then it would start looping the last couple of seconds.Now generally I would go check the logs, but I see no nautilus logs so what should I check?This is all pretty recent. I think that this started to happen when one day exim4 (and some packages all marked exim) got updated but I cannot be certain. Major playing-around after that would be some Wine issues but the system froze once before all that Wine fun.So step one, what should I check?
EDIT: OK, .xsession-errors ouput:
Code:
/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...

Just curious if it is possible to schedule a complete system shutdown and start up?
My box with ubuntu server on it is only used as an ssh/proxy server, so I would like save on energy costs and add a layer of security by completely shutting it down during the hours I do not use it.

I have strange behaviour on my portable computer Asus UX30. I'm using latest Ubuntu 10.10 release. The main problem, and the most annoying, is a system freeze on shutdown, suspend, hibernate or even restart. For a week I'm trying to find a solution on the web, but no result. From what I noticed, computer freezes when a wireless card is turned off or on. Here are some basic info from wireless card:
Code:
sudo lshw -class Network
*-network
description: Wireless interface
product: RT3091 Wireless 802.11n 1T/2R PCIe
vendor: RaLink

I have a very simple bash script that just runs a series of backups using tar; for example, one of the lines reads:tar -czvpf /srv/backups/backup_home.tar.gz /homeThis script is scheduled to run every Friday, but occasionally I will schedule it to run before using 'at'. The script is located on the same disk as the backups are saved, I then transfer them off the machine manually (I've yet to automate this). I am only compressing files that are located on the server's disk, no files are being transferred over the network at all.
The problem is, occasionally it appears to be causing the 'server' I have running all the time to completely freeze. When this happens the machine does not power down and there are no entries in the log that indicate a problem. Everything simply stops until I press the reset button. Note that this issue also happens when you run the script manually and not just when it is run via cron or at.I *think* this might be happening when a large file is being compressed, but I'm not certain.

I'm experiencing complete system freezes when dowloading torrents with more than 800kb/sec (I think this is the limit, I've capped it at 750, and it seems to be running ok now). I had this same problem in Ubuntu aswell. But not in Win 7. The problem also appeared in ubuntu when streaming video through VLC with more than 800kbps.
As my connection gives me quite alot higher download speeds this kind of annoys me, and me being quite new to this whole Linux thing, don't really know what to do. I had a dialogue with someone at Ubuntuforums regarding this, but we pretty much got nowhere.
I have an ASUS 1201N laptop, with ION chipset.

I'm experiencing some weird short freezing issues in Squeeze and / or unstable. Everything works as usual, then the system will freeze for some seconds if I don't do anything, or resume faster if I move the mouse or hit a key on the keyboard. I thought it was a wifi related problem, as I have an intel iwl4965 , here is what I often see in dmesg:
[ 2608.910307] iwl4965 0000:06:00.0: Queue 4 stuck for 2000 ms.
[ 2608.910317] iwl4965 0000:06:00.0: On demand firmware reload
[ 2608.912832] ieee80211 phy0: Hardware restart was requested

i'm running debian on a custom-built (no brand) box, which has been up and running for, maybe, 3-4 years with no issues whatsoever. all good parts... asus mbo, athlon, wd hd, etc. lately, every once in a while - like, say, every couple of days - i hear a "beep" from the box and the system freezes... lose the keyboard and mouse, and the display stays up but also freezes (for example, if a videos vid was playing, it would just freeze). have to physically reboot to get the system back. i assume this has nothing to do with the os or any app (although i'm usually browsing with chrome or ff when it happens). not being a hardware guy... can anybody clue me in as to how to figure out what's causing the problem?

I'm experiencing constant system freezes, and was wondering which log file to view in order to determine what is causing it. I switched over from linux mint as it was giving me the same issues now being experience on my debian setup.
When my system does freeze, the keyboard is unresponsive (caps lock won't even turn on) and I have to use the power button to get out of it. The only thing that does work is my wireless mouse which I can still move around.

I made a fresh installation of Debian.
Code: Select all[VOSTRO200@root]#uname --all
Linux VOSTRO200 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.65-1+deb7u1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I changed to the kde desktop environment. I logged in as a normal user, and left the computer running for a few hours. when I came back the screen was turned off and the system does not respond to mouse movement, pressing the keyboard, or any combination thereof. I tried
Code: Select allCtr+Alt+F1,
CapsLock
First time i touched keyboard the led of numlock turned off, and never back. Blanking the screen itself does not cause a system crash, this occurs after several hours of inactivity.

I'm having some trouble hooking my external flatscreen monitor up to my Toshiba Tecra's docking station and having Mint (or Debian) be happy with it. The laptop uses a widescreen monitor but my external is a 4x3; I wonder if this is causing problems. Of course, it may just be the Intel 82801G graphics adapter.et things up properly in the Display Preferences config window (I'm using Gnome, btw) but when I hit apply, the system locks and I have to hard boot. I've never set up a linux box with multiple monitors before, let alone multiple monitors that require different resolutions.

After upgrading one of my computers to 10.10 I experience freeze on shutdown I understand that there are multiple things that can do that. Is there a way to Isolate the issue. It freezes during the ubuntu dots screen. The dots are still changing endlessly. So it is not complete freeze. The only way to intervene is by issuing a CTRL-ALT-DEL then the computer restarts.

Running Lucid 10.04 in place of XP on my old Packard Bell Imedia has been good apart from the random freeze-ups that often prevent booting or stall the shutdown process. Today I think I solved it!? It appears that my wireless PCI adapter (ZyXel G-302 v3) was causing the problem. Ubuntu had installed a default driver which seemed to work OK; but I thought I'd try installing the Windows XP driver from my original ZyXel install disk as an experiment. I used ndiswrapper, got the XP driver installed and my freeze-ups have gone (touch wood).

I am running Debian Squeeze on an Intel DH55TC motherboard. When I issue a shutdown command
shutdown -h now
The system goes shutting down. Eveything looks fine, and the main console shows all process being stopped. In the end it says "System will now halt". Then a few seconds later, it restarts. It is unclear what is causing this, because nothing is written to the screen. It just goes blank and starts rebooting. Looking afterwards in syslog doesn't show anything also.

I have one desktop PC I'd like to use as a jukebox. It's installed in the basement as a black box, with only SSH access, and it has got a minimal CentOS 5.3 install with MPD and NCMPC. It's connected to the hi-fi in the basement, so I can stream music to it when I'm downstairs. Since I didn't want to use cables everywhere, I bought a PCI wireless card, with a RT2561 chip.
Until recently this card worked OK with Linux. Recent kernel version even have out-of-the-box support for it, except of course you still have to download the firmware from the Ralinktech website.
I gave the thing a static IP configuration by editing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0, interface went up fine, I can ping the machine and SSH into it OK. Now the only problem is, when I do a shutdown -h now, the machine "hangs" while trying to bring wlan0 down. (In case you wonder: I temporarily attached a monitor to it, since wanting to know what goes on while shutting down in an SSH session is a chicken-and-egg situation :)). I actually have to hard-reboot it (by pressing RESET).

1) Any process (including boot, shutdown, download, open programs, etc) is freeze (don't have any progress) until I move the mouse or hit any button, so for install and use my ubuntu I have to keep moving my mouse and as you imagine is VERY TIRED.2) I get some general freeze on random times, neither the mouse, keyboard or process move, I notice that if I unplug power it unfreze, and I can work for some time.This 2 problems annoy me a lot, and I suspect is a problem related to my Netbook Model, I read about someone that has the same problem but no solution there.
This is what I did:I Try Ubuntu loading from my USB memory (1GB), run very good but with the 2 problems, but I thought it can be resolved installing.I installed along side with W7, couldn't boot Ubuntu, so I configured GRUB2 and it could enter now, but if I don't press **** after selecting Ubuntu it give me the BusyBox, and then the same 2 problems.I get rid of my W7 and did a Full Install on my 160GB HDD, hoping it can work fine, but no.I install all updates and no effect on that.

I removed windows completely from my Dell Inspiron N5010 and installed Ubuntu 10.04.1 64bit. In windows I have the option to create the system image of system's current state so that if something goes wrong I could easily restore my system using that image( I am not talking about windows Restore facility). I wanted to know that if there is something available in Ubuntu also. I cant use Dell recovery media creator as I have deleted recovery partition. I have already used Remastersys and it also did its job well but after restoring my Graphics card driver did not work well.

I get a complete system failure when my CPU is stressed. It's not the temperature because when it crashes the CPU temp is only ~55 C. When it crashes the video freezes but the sound repeats itself. Example. I start handbraking a movie, then open a tv show in VLC. This is what I hear.
Did you get that tire - then it freezes
get that tire
get that tire
get that tire
get that tire
... etc
That continues until I reboot my computer. This crash is pretty reliable, as every time I load my CPU that happens. If I don't do anything CPU intensive, I don't get the crash. Also, if I only load up one core of my CPU, then everything is fine. However if I run something such as prime95 or handbrake (which both utilize all 4 of my cores) the computer will crash within 30 seconds.

I'm on ubuntu 10.04, and pretty new to it - over the last 2 weeks I've done probably 10+ fresh installs due to me not knowing the system, trying things. I looked for a way to back it up and found this guide - [URL]. When I use the feature as listet, it doesn't exclude the folders, and the system is "almost" the same as pre-recovery - and I'm copy/pasting. Is there a way to make a COMPLETE replica of my system, that I can launch when failed, so that - it's back to when I was "ok".. like all programs install post-copy to be gone..

My laptop running Ubuntu 10.10 had suddenly go to a dark gray screen that will not take any kind of input other than holding to power button down for 5 seconds. I'm not running any new or odd programs just Firefox, Openofice writer, and Pidgin. When I turn the computer back on I do not see any kind of an error message. I'm looking for any advice that will help me find the cause of the problem.

Beginning on the release day for Firefox 4, my system has been encountering hard freezes (no responsiveness to any key entry and only way to restart is by hitting the reset button). I had installed firefox 4 with no issue, but once it was open, it kept freezing my system. Some addons weren't supported anyways, so I uninstalled it and got back my 3.6. At the time I was using rtorrent, but within minutes of using it since the firefox install, my entire system freezes up.
Naturally I suspect HDD or RAM, but both have been extensively tested. Next I began browsing forums and found some tricks like turning off IPv6 or changing settings via HDPARM, but none have made any difference. I have moved on to using Transmission, and the problem still exists, but it occurs much less frequently.
I have also since then noticed that transfers of files from my 500GB OS/Torrent drive to my RAID 5 array and vice versa moves at 2-4MBytes/s, much too slow. So next I set up my torrent client to download directly to my RAID array, and lo and behold no freezes! Also, while transfering data the system moves at an absolute CRAWL, as in browser windows turning gray, saying that they have stopped responding, etc. I ran a fsck on my 500GB drive, which instantly told me my file system was clean. I'm at my whit's end here! I hate re-posting on a topic, but I feel like I've tried everything!
System Info:
Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit

I am running an openSuse 11.1 server.
How easy is it to install a complete Bugzilla system for my own internal use?
Is there an rpm that will set it up automatically?
Is it part of the distro? Or 11.2 or 11.3?
What is the easiest way to install it?

Since having installed Lucid Lynx, I have several complete system crashes a day, no matter which applications I am using. Lucid crashes without any error message and the system reboots. I have had no problem whatsoever with Karmic Koala (also switched from ext2 to ext4 when installing Lucid Lynx). Is there any probable reason for that or a workaround? Can I paste any logs here for anybody to figure out what might be going on? When I try XP which is also install, the system won't crash (so far...), so I don't think it's a hardware problem.
My system:
Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H, AMD 780G, ATX
Processor: AMD Athlon64 X2 4800+ AM2 box "EE" 65W, 2x512kB
