Ubuntu :: Transmission Causing Panics Every 2 Minutes?
Jan 26, 2010
Is anyone else having trouble with frequent kernel panics whenever the Transmission bittorrent client is running? I get them after about 1-2 minutes of having transmission running, and need to do a hard reset. I didn't restart transmission this last time and it has been almost 10 minutes with no problems. I've been having problems left and right with KPs since around 8.04 but previously they were infrequent enough that it was still more convenient than using windows...Every 2 minutes is ridiculous though, if I can't fix it I'm going to need to get another torrent client!

I can only access the Transmission web interface while the Transmission-gtk client is running. When I close it, the web interface is no longer available. I try to manually start the transmission-daemon, but the process never shows up as running.

I'm using mencoder to capture audio from a Encore ENLTV-FM3 video capture device. I have recently noticed that, since one week ago, when the machine was forcibly restarted due to a power outage, all recordings are slightly pitched, they play back slower than they should.
I narrowed down the problem to the following command line:
$ time mencoder -really-quiet -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video1:chanlist=us-cable:audiorate=32000:alsa:adevice=hw.1:input=0:amode=1:normid=11 -endpos 00:10:00 -ovc copy -oac pcm -of rawaudio -o test-32000.wav tv://69
real 9m54.886s
user 0m5.536s
sys 0m1.740s
$ ls -l test-32000.wav
-rw-r--r--@ 1 martin martin 76800000 Mar 15 17:20 test-32000.wav
Somehow, mencode managed to gather precisely 10 minutes worth of raw audio in 9m 55s. That's not physically possible, unless the capture device's A/D converters are "overclocked". I can't think of any other explanation besides hardware failure. Can that be? Could it be that something got burnt during the power outage and now the capture device's internal clock went nuts?
Since the machine's restart, I've also noticed dmesg is flooded with entries like this:
CE: hpet increased min_delta_ns to XXX nsec
Which seem to indicate that the computer's high precision event timer is somehow out of sync. Does this have to do with the audio issue? Can it be that the audio converter's sample rate is linked to the HPET? I'm totally lost here. Has anyone bumped into something similar?

I just built a computer with these specs:
Asus P7P55D-E Pro Mother Board
2 x 4gb GSkill RipJaw 1333
Intel Core i5-760 cpu
MSI nVidia GeFore GTX-460 Video Card
When I try to boot from a live CD/USB I always get some sort of kernel panic, most times about USB controllers and other times about cpu_idle. I have pictures of these that I can post but nothing from any logs because this is happening even before I install. I have left memtest running over night for 11 hours and had no problems, I have tried to boot with only one stick of memory, I have changed the video card to a GeForce 8800 and I have tried everything on a different motherboard and still no luck. Would I wrong to say that there is a problem with the CPU and should I return it? My only problem with all of this is that Windows installs perfectly fine on the computer with zero problems...weird.

I have been a happy Ubuntu and other distros user from 2007 to now. Had my old 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu Studio actually) that I really felt was time to upgrade. Then I downloaded the ISO image for 11.04 Natty Narwhal past 4 day ago. It gave me an option to install on my old 7.10, upgrading it, then I chose that one not to have to lose my data.
At the very end of the installation (when downloading several packages from the net) I got a kernel panic.
After that I reinstalled from zero wiping the whole partition, with the same results. It only worked when I disconnected the net cable so it wouldn't download anything during install. Then I could run the 11.04, but kept getting kernel panics, and after some testings (I thought it was the nvidia video drivers at first) I think it happens after some ammount of network traffic happens.
Memtest went normal, I tried logging with no-effects and I tried some solutions from forums with no results. The pc can be on and working for hours, but after I start surfing the web for some time, I get a freeze. Sometimes Caps Lock and Scroll Lock leds are flashing, and sometimes just freezes to simply become unresponsive. When it was during the installation I got a message saying it would pop out into console because panic occured and then froze. Anyway I always have to press the reset button.
I would like to be sure if I have some of my hardware broken or if the newest kernel is still green on some hardware support; maybe network. I'd also like to know if I can install older versions of the kernel; I think that should fix the problem because other distros worked perfectly here before. I also heard about some kernel-image-pae being different from the ordinary kernel image. Could it help if I change that package? I'm waiting to install 11.04 in my wife's computer also but of course I don't want to bring any problems on her! My net card is Nvidia Nforce and my processor is AMD Athlon II X2 with a GForce 9400 for video card.

I have this weird issue which only appears when I am using 64 bit Ubuntu. Every now and then my laptop seems to go into a kernel panic (system unresponsive, numlock and scrollock lights flash repetitively) only when I am using the broadcom wireless. I can connect to my wireless router and use the internet and local network, but eventually, kablamo, crash, bang, boom. The only way out of the crash is to power off completely. After repowering, the wireless network is fine until the next crash. There does not seem to be a pattern or time period to cause this crash either. I have purged network manager(which I couldn't get to use my wireless) and am using wicd, which allows me to connect wirelessly.
Here is the details of my system:
Dell inspiron 1520
lspci (snipped)
0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)

My friend's PC recently started acting up. He had me install Sabayon on it and everything was fine until a few days ago. Every app I try to run after the PC boots results in a segmentation fault. I figured maybe something was wrong with the HDD, so I tried to boot from a DSL liveCD to run fsck, but it wouldn't boot; it freezes right away. I then tried the Sabayon LiveDVD and got a kernel panic.Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? I am completely clueless; I've never had anything like this happen before.

After building a new system I have been getting kernel panics randomly. I have been able to look at /var/log/messages and determine that either my RAID card, XFS, or something along those lines is causing the problem. It has now gotten bad enough that any heavy use of the RAID will cause it to panic and die.
There is one large file on this that I need which is not on my backups but when I try to get it off, the transfer will cause a kernel panic within minutes. What is causing the panic? Is there any way to resolve it? The RAID card is an LSI SAS3081E-R and I am using the built in drivers/modules within Ubuntu 10.04 x64 (pretty sure the kernel itself has the driver included). There is source available for the driver from LSI's site but I'm not sure if that will solve the problem and in addition to that, I can't figure out how to compile and install it. It has a Makefile already but make just complains "no targets".
Code:
Jun 21 13:00:22 cyan kernel: [ 706.206498] ffff88019652daf8 ffff88018ff61698 ffff8801935ddd50 ffffea00038f6650
Jun 21 13:00:22 cyan kernel: [ 706.206472] Process xfsdatad/2 (pid: 862, threadinfo ffff8801935dc000, task ffff88019652dac0)

I'm trying to use and old Dell Dimension 2350 workstation with 1GB of RAM and a 200GB drive as a home server. I boot the CentOS 5.3 install DVD, get to the splash screen and hit ENTER to start the install. The install routine starts and then kernel panics with a very long trace I can't make sense of. I've used the DVD for other installs so I know the media is good.Are there any known quirks to installing linux on a Dimension 2350? Maybe some kernel line parameters like no acpi?? As a test, I took an Ubuntu server cd, and the install actually completed but on reboot it kernel panicked with a similar long trace error. Obviously this is most likely a hardware issue.

I'm running CentOS 5.3 x86_64 on my laptop (dell vostro 1400, core2duo, 3GB RAM, intel 3945ABG wireless, nvidia video and LAN). The problem is that some times (like 15-20% of times) I shutdown the laptop, I get a kernel panic related always to the wireless kernel module (I haven't been able to get screenshot or anything). I'm using the latest centosplus kernel. I never get these panics with the standard CentOS kernel, however the standard kernel doesn't light the wireless led, and that annoys me a lot. Therefore I'm forced to use centosplus kernel. The question is not how to solve this (i know I've not given enough details) but what to do to diagnose better the cause of the panic and then correct it.

A while ago, when I was using Maverick, Firefox started to crash randomly and led to kernel panics.
So I upgraded to Natty (clean install) and Firefox there too crashed.
Then I was getting graphics and make problems.
Today I tried to install Fedora 15. It first boots to a Live desktop that warned me that my hard drive had 65000+ bad sectors. Sixty-five thousand.
So I got a new one. A WD Scorpio Black, 750GB 7200RPM with Advanced Format.
Again I boot into Fedora 15. OK, no bad sectors. I tried to run Disk Utility Self Tests but it constantly crashed. Fedora warns you about this.
In the Live session, I opened Firefox. It also crashed just like back in Ubuntu. Then the screen flashes black and got warnings after warnings that a kernel module has crashed.
So I took out my old Maverick installation CD and first tried a Live session. However, Disk Utility told me that SMART is not supported while on Fedora, it was.
So I tried to install. But soon after that, I got a warning that the installer has crashed because a file copied to the disk did not match the file on CD. Right now I am in the Maverick Live session.

I've been trying to install fedora 12 on my laptop, however, I've been running into kernel panics on both the live cd and the install dvd. I'm using an HP HDX16 with an Intel Core Two Duo T9400 @ 2.53ghz, and a Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT. Dunno if any other hardware might be involved. Here's the text I get on my screen:

Since the update to 11.3 i'm getting kernel panics randomly. Because the X server freezes and I can only force an "unexpected reboot", there is not much information I have. I installed kdump and activated it with the Yast module. I'm collecting dump files, now. But I'm not sure what to do with does files.

F12 Clean Install stopped with line:

The machine has completed more than 30 hours of HD cleaning with DBAN (overwrites the HD). It used to be able to run F9 or Ubuntu 8.04 but always returned kernel panic during other distro installation attempts. Why after a complete HD clean though?

I tried to install Zenwalk, xunbutu, debian6 linuxmint, linuxpuppy and I've had nothing but Kernal panics not syrcing, host smbus not enabled, lupusave file problems, journal commit i/o error. I've been interested in linux for a long time and I was reading about it working well on old computers. Ive got a 366 celeron with a 4G drive and 160M memory (a real screamer). This computer has had win98 winME and win2K with flawless installations. I'm no expert at this stuff but I've been around since the DOS 3.3 days so I know a little bit. All I want to do is see my hard drive boot up in the linux operating system right now. What the heck is up with this file system?

Recently switched my home server from Gentoo to CentOS and have been getting kernel panics consistently since I made the server "live". The machine was built with all new hardware. I'll post relevant configuration info and picture of the kernel panic below. So far all kernel panics have been with kernel "2.6.18-164.9.1.el5.centos.plus", right now I am testing with the kernel listed below to see if it does the same thing (2.6.18-164.9.1.el5).
justin@empire justin $ uname -rmi
2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 x86_64 x86_64
justin@empire justin $ rpm -qa |grep kernel |sort

I have loaded openSuSE 11.4 on an IBM x3400 box with an Adaptec ServeRAID 8k-l SAS harddisk adapter. openSuSE 11.1 was previously loaded on this box and was using XEN kernels.) The default "desktop" kernel boots and operates correctly. I use this machine to run other XEN virtual machines to run different versions or our companies printer controller application. When I attempt to boot the xen kernel, the kernel cannot locate the root partition (or any other partition) on the hard disk. Here are a few lines of kernel output:

When trying to install RHEL 5.4 on a Flagstone SATA (encrypted hard disk), linux timeouts while loading the ata_piix module.
ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen
ata2.00: cmd 81/00:08:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 data 4096 in

ata2: soft resetting port
ata2.00: configured for UDMA/33
ata2: EH complete
The above message is repeated several times until the kernel eventually "panics".If I use a non-encrypted SATA (Maxtor, Fujitsu, etc), the install works. It only fails with Flagstone SATA encrypted hard disks.

I want to start off by saying I'm very new to Ubuntu. I have been using Ubuntu for about a week now and have not looked back!! Now on to my issue. I have been tying to update Transmission 1.75(9117) to the lasted version (transmission-1.92) but i can't seem to get the Synaptic Package Manager to find it. I have downloaded transmission-1.92 and extracted it on to the desktop but Synaptic Package Manager still can't find it.

i recently switched from windows vista to ubuntu 10.04, so i am a complete noob at this stuff... i enabled the ufw a few days ago and ever since then my Internet connection has been pretty spotty. i connect to the wireless network fine, and there is nothing wrong with the actual Internet connection (other computers in the house are using it fine) it is very frustrating and i was wondering if there is a way to stop this, do i need to forward some ports, or do i really even need the firewall at all... i don't really do many things that would allow me to get hacked in the first place..

I had this problem in 10.04 and hoped it would go away in 10.10, but it did not. My computer crashes on shutdown. When the system is shutting down, the screen goes black (sometimes with a bunch of grey lines), and just hangs. I have waited for a long time but nothing happens. I have to shut it down manually, with file losses as a result. How should I go about fixing this? I have looked a bit in /var/log but do not know where to look for. Where can I find what is causing this?

One of the updates (Karmic) this morning listed the following:
Update
transmission-common
lightweight BitTorrent client (common files)
Description
Transmission is a simple BitTorrent client. It features a very simple, intuitive interface (gui and command-line) on top on an efficient, cross-platform back-end. This package contains the common files for the different transmission versions.
Changes
Changes for the versions:
1.75-0ubuntu2
1.75-0ubuntu2.2
Version 1.75-0ubuntu2.2:
* SECURITY UPDATE: fix arbitrary file overwrite via crafted torrent file
- debian/patches/CVE-2010-0012.patch: adjust metainfo.c to check for '../'
- CVE-2010-0012
So, I employed the update. Problem is, I do not see this as an installed application. TRANSMISSION is not listed in any submenu under the Applications menu OR Add/Remove.
