After a year of rock solid usage out of my Fedora 11 server, it seems to be freezing/locking up once a day. I suspect some piece of hardware on it might be going, but i'm not sure what. I ran it through memtest, no errors reported. I also swapped out the OS hard drive (cloned to another drive with clonezilla). That didn't fix it either. I have looked through /var/log/messages, and haven't seen anything out of the ordinary. Are there other log files that I should be looking at?
I have 2 problems here,(second solved) I'll start with the first. Fedora keeps freezing, when I'm at the terminal, and trying to download things, and just on sites in general. I've discussed this with my brother, who knows a considerable amount more than I do on this, he said I had to download Fedora to my hard drive, to fix the problem of the me having to redownload, as with the freezing, We still have not come to conclusion on the freezing.
When I download fast and much my server freeze however if I don't download anything the server can run for weeks without problems but as soon I start downloading fast it doesn't take long until the server freeze again, I mean totally frozen so I have to manually power it down and then turn it on again. This started happening recently I think it started happening after I updated to 9.10 it have always worked perfectly before. Is there anyway to fix this? If not is there a way to downgrade back to 9.04 or 8.10 where everything were working fine?
I discovered in running a script on a remote server. Take this little demonstration script:
[Code]...
This runs as expected (it does nothing) on both my local desktop and the remote server. However if I log in via ssh to the remote server and run this script everything on the server freezes. I do mean everything ftp/ssh/nfs/login-requests/... even if I go and physically plug in monitor and keyboard there is no response. It basically needs a full restart to clear. I have repeated this several times. Now something is clearly wrong here but does anyone know what. I didn't think a non-admin user should be able to actually lock up system processes.
I have configured a squid proxy server with @2 eth in different network subnet and with site blocking and extn file download blocking. One eth0 for office wired network and another eth1 is for office wireless network for laptop use for guest and visitors.
The problem is [URL] is an Indian government website, which is not working though this proxy server and the Internet Explorer is getting very slow and freezing the computer. In alternate I have configured a another test server with squid proxy with out any security and test the same. the problem is still with the all the computer in the network. The above website is perfectly working with Gateway configuration in TCP/IP properties in Network Configuration in MS Windows XP computers but through squid proxy its not working.
yesterday I updated Thunderbird3 beta 3 to beta 4 from yum. Then it doesn't seem to work well. Running Thunderbird, after some seconds, it gets freezing...
Is there anybody same with me? under 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i686.PAE
Some do. Most don't. (For example FoF launches gives a black screen and freezes Fedora hard-reset needed) I tried a heap of games from the repos. Most of them freeze I wouldn't know where to start to solve the problem.. Also most N64 Emulators don't work so no games or anything is REALLY boring...
I've recently installed Fedora 12, and it constantly freezes. The only common aspect between the freezes is that the freezes occurred when firefox was running. When it does freeze, I'm not able to use ctrl+alt+f[1...6] or even ctrl+alt+backspace.
My screen has started freezing periodically. The mouse still moves the cursor but nothing else responds. Ctrl-Alt -F1 doesn't give me a terminal screen nor does Ctrl-Alt-Backspace restart X I must turn off the computer and turn it on again to reboot. I don't remember having this problem with Fedora 11, but I recently moved to Fedora 12. I am using the kernel
2.6.32.14-127.fc12.i686.PAE Looking at /var/log/messages, I find repeated instances of the error message [drm:radeon_ib_schedule] *ERROR* radeon: couldn't schedule IB(4). before the reboot.
Google provides many references going back to April for this string, mostly on Ubuntu related sites. I do have an 128 MB ATI Radeon X300 graphics card but it is over four years old, and I didn't have this problem with earlier versions of Fedora. Also, the google references seem to refer to hibernation, which I am not doing, at least not intentionally. Finally, I see that Xorg configuration has changed significantly since I last checked. (I can't find xorg.conf.) Can anyone refer me to a relatively succinct description of how it now works?
I'm running Fedora 13 32-bit on a Samsung NC20 netbook (specifications here: [URL]. Everything works fine, with the exception of media playback via VLC and mplayer. The biggest problem is that the entire OS frequently locks up when exiting full-screen playback in either application, and occasionally locks-up when starting playback via mplayer. Video is also always on top of other windows, regardless of whether the application is configured to be always on top.
The lock-ups are severe enough to warrant powering off the machine, as CTRL+ALT+Fx does nothing. I suspect this is related to the machine's VIA CPU/graphics chipset - I've had problems with them before in other Linux distros, but playback was fine under F12 on the same machine. Because the video windows are always on top, I suspect there's a general issue affecting media playback - hopefully configuration related!
I have a Dell studio 15 laptop with 4GB RAM,320GB HDD,ATI Radeon HD 7450 graphics card(512MB) ,Inetl core i3 processor.I am multibooting Fedora 13 with Windows 7.My problem is that Fedora 13 freezes randomly few minutes after booting.Initially,crashing occurred when i was browsing with Firefox,so i downloaded and installed Opera,again the system was freezing.Then i even removed the ethernet cord to check whether there is some problem with ethernet driver.I am trying to use Fedora 13 for running ns2.But,this freezing problem is a big setback.
Fedora 14 is freezing while starting services. what I know is that the system is passing kernel verification. Is there a way to choose which service to start during bootup?
I've been using Fedora 5 for a few years and have never had a problem with it. Recently I upgraded to Fedora 14 and have run into a problem with the desktop freezing a few minutes after it comes up. I can move the mouse pointer around but nothing happens when I click on any icon. This happens with Gnome as well as KDE. I haven't tried Xfce. I think I read somewhere that the freezing is a problem with my video chip which is an SiS located on the motherboard. Is there a way to fix this problem?
I bought brand new hardware - S-AM3 GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H and installed fedoda core14 64bit. I have a enterprise backup. The name is rsnapshot. It's a backup over ssh using rsync.rsync version is 3.0.8 on server and workstations. The server is ubuntu 8.04 32bit. No problems with fc5, fc8, ubuntu and so on as clients.When i do a croned backup then sometimes i have a hang on the clients. No ping works and no ssh connection. crtl + alt + f1 or so - i dont konow if it works.I created a 250 gb file and copied it with scp and "rsync over ssh", but i could not reproduce the failure.
I just did a fresh install of Fedora 15 last weekend. Since then I haven't had any problems with it except of course a few bug reports every now and then.Today, out of the blue, my system start freezing, giving me no choice but to hard reboot.As a particularity when the system freezes I can still move the cursor on the screen but everything else seizes to respond.It happens every time within 10 minutes after reboot, and even sooner if I launch the internet browser (behaves the same with both Firefox and Epiphany) or if I open a video file.
I loaded Fedora 10 onto my Lenovo T60 last week. everyday i boot it up and it works fine for a few minutes, then freezes. to the point of powering off. my mouse still works but nothing else. i power back up and it generally stays up after that.
Before i had Fedora i was useing PCLinux 2009 and it worked just fine. i get a kernel error alert every once in a while. i finally submitted it to Fedora to be reported. also a flash plugin says it is needed at times but most media plays.
Is there something i'm missing here? like i need to add an additional update? i already updated/installed most Fedora 10 updates.
i'm using fedora 12 on my new EASYNOTE_TJ65-DM-139IT [URL]... from time to time (about one time a day) computer freeze, i cannot use my keyboard, mouse still work (that is: i can move the pointer on the screen) but click on opened windows, button, menu doesn't do nothing. I can't understand what's the problem and how to solve it, all i can do is hardware turn off the computer and reload fedora. This is quite disappointing, hw power off it every day can harm my notebook.
I am using FC13 (2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.x86_64) with a ASUS MB/Athlon II X4 CPU for the hardware.Recently my workstation keeps freezing, the power is still on, but the screen goes black,I cannot ping it from other computers on the network, the only thing to do is to press the power switch.
Questions: * I cannot find any messages in the log, no kernel panic message on the screen, I even installed kdump but no kernel dump is created,does it means it can only be a hardware problem ? I have a vendor kernel module for my NIC and my video card could they cause that kind of problem ? * I am logging the CPU temp every minutes and I notice that on a few occasion the CPU is close to 70C when the workstation freeze,is 70C too hot for the CPU, is that what CPU do when they reach a temp to high for them to operates ?
I upgraded from FC11 to FC13 last night. The desktop has not been stable since. It will run for anything from 5 to 30 minutes before it locks up. Interesting, if I am already ssh'd in, I can perform commands, but a new SSH will hang, and if I try to SU to root in an already logged in ssh, it hangs.
However, I did finally manage to get the messages that were logged to /var/log/messages at the time of the desktop freeze.
Here are the messages. The first 3 about high speed usb may or may not be relevant. The freeze appeared to happen around the 4th message in the log below.
Code: Sep 2 13:16:57 starbug kernel: usb 2-4.2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6 Sep 2 13:26:38 starbug kernel: usb 2-4.2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6 Sep 2 13:31:20 starbug kernel: usb 2-4.2: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6 Sep 2 13:38:03 starbug kernel: INFO: task jbd2/dm-0-8:558 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
Performed the daily update, don't recall which packages were available, and the boot process freezes near the end upon trying to start my VNC server. Using rescue disk removed tiger-vnc server. Oddly upon reboot, selinux reset the files even though initial setting was 'permissive'. have not tried re-installed vnc yet.
I've just installed F15 KDE Edition, and as the title tells, I need to keep pressing F2 and/or Enter to make the system go through the boot up process, otherwise it freezes as long as i keep it without my interference !! and then it takes relatively long time to start the GUI, and when I switch to the console (using ALT + CTRL + F3 for example) and try to write the login or the password, there seem to be some 'bouncing' effect, that if I'm to write the login 'root', I get something like 'rrooott' ... however, this doesn't happen in the GUI .....
I have a multiboot system, with Windows7 and Linux Mint (based on ubuntu 10.4) installed along side. While Windows7 doesn't have any problem with my hardware, Linux mint has also some issues that cause the performance of media players to degrade (sound and video tearing) and cause repeated freezes to some applications (a game actually, 'wesnoth') until I press a key or move the mouse.
I have AMD Athlon 7750 dual core 2.7 GHz system, with 3GB DDR2 800 Ram, and embedded ATI Radeon HD 3200 with about 512 shared memory.
one more thing, when I booted off the live image to run the install program, I booted into the video failsafe mode (not sure of the exact name, but I think you got it, no mode setting) and passed the option 'noapic', so I suppose this options are still passed whenever I boot mysystem, as I get the text version of the progress bar during startup, rather then the graphical fedora logo ( i.e no mode setting) ..
When i boot from Clonezilla it keeps on freezing at the same point.I boot up and select clonezilla live then select the 600X800 (or whatever it is), I then see text scrolling from the bottom of the screen upwards as it is loading the kernel etc but freezes at a specific point for some reason which means i cant clone my drive. Does any have any ideas on how to fix this issue?
This is my Fedora 11 installation review:The pc (cd2, 7600gs, 2gb ram) boots ok from any of the many Fedora live cd/dvd.After booting it goes to a nice window with a (3 colored flashing forward motion) tollbar at the bottom, where the words Generic 11 are written at the bottom right.
So far so good: no questions to answer, the Dvd is speaning out loud. 2 min later the above mentioned screen changes into a b&w verbose mode sreen.After a dozen of written lines, where the last one says "bridge firewalling ..." the drive noise gradually extinguishes, its red light turns off, the b&w verbose screen dies and even the Pc looks like dead too. Could be waiting here until next day, nothing more happens. So, I do various alt/ctrl/del, until the Cd/dvd (liteon) ejects and the pc reboots.
This is really CRAZZY. Lately I'v been trying many different distribution installations and this never happened. It's equal with any of the many fedora live cd/dvd's, window manager's, 32/64 bit. I did try last week, 2weeks before, today.... and did also try fedora Omega but is the same result at the end.I wonder if this is just me, missing some Fedora fundamental specific thing, or if ithis has happened to some of you.I browsed and searched but this looks like an uncommon issue, as I didn't find nothing similar.
I experienced freeze with Fedora 12. I haven't had any issues up until now at all with stability in Fedora. Since then the problem has persisted with a freeze about once a week and then over the last few days it has started freezing daily. I thought at first that it was a problem with an update and that it would get sorted out with another update but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I installed FC12 within days of it's release and I've had no issues until now.
The odd thing is that the machine only freezes when I'm not using it. I suppose this is a good thing, but it makes it harder to figure out what is causing it.
The entire machine locks up and I'm unable to do anything but use the reset button and get the machine going again. I can not connect via SSH either as all network connections are being refused.
I have looked through the logs and can not find anything odd. There are no kernel panics and there are no Xorg errors.
I'm starting to wonder if this is a hardware issue, but the system drive was just installed in November and hasn't reported any errors when I check it.
I am new to Ubuntu. I had it installed on an 8gb Medion USB key and for some reason Ubuntu keeps freezing every few minutes. The application that I would be using would freeze for a few seconds.
I'm trying to dual boot pclinux2009 with vista already installed on an acer laptop, but once i get to the partition part of the linux installation the laptop freezes.
I'm running a dual boot with Windows XP and Ubuntu 9.04. I have a 2002 gateway machine with a 2GHz processor and 1.25GB of RAM and a 40GB Hard Drive. My graphics is onboard Intel. Whenever I try to install Ubuntu 9.10, the screen will inevitably freeze up on me. The last kernel I tried was 2.6.31-15. Usually I'm running pogo games (a java application) along with internet radio. When the radio cuts out, I know I'm in trouble. When it freezes up, the mouse will move around but nothing is "clickable". I can move it around, click it on things, even try CTRL-ALT-DEL // CTRL-ALT-F2 //or even CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE or CTRL-ALT-ESC.
(So it's not like I can find the offending process and kill it because everything is frozen up). Nothing works except pulling the plug on my computer. I was told I could "create" an xorg.conf file since it no longer exists with karmic. But when I tried this, I could no longer get past the GRUB menu. It threw me from the grub menu to a terminal screen. I have no idea whether I can get the system to boot from the terminal screen. Is there a way to create a new xorg.conf file that won't disable my computer?
I recently purchased a dedicated server and have been having trouble with putty. I have been using the server to try and host the game called minecraft. Hosting the server is not a problem however. What is the problem is being able to exit putty without stopping the server. I looked this up, and it sayed to create a screen. I did that after installing screen. I then created a screen, ran the server, then tried to disconnect using the ctr-a-d.However only two things happen when i push the buttons. The majority of the time the window just closes, along with my server stopping. The other thing that happens is putty just stops. I cant type in anything, but I am still notified when I try to close putty.
