[SOLVED] Sudden Crashes

#1 Post by rojasrod »

My newly installed system has been crashing on me.

I don't really know what information to give you but please ask me what you need. Thank you for your patience.

Debian Stretch XFCE 64bit
Nvidia drivers are installed. (there were problems with nouveau as well)

I made a blog post with the contents: /var/log/syslog

THANK YOU

Where/how did you get/install this ver?

Have you installed anything else from outside the debian repo on the newly installed system?

I though I used the instructions here https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsD ... ssie-304xx

But as I read the page again, I think I may have installed by mistake with the instructions for Debian 8.

I am going to install again using the instructions for debian 9. Will that override the previous drivers?

I did install Skype, Dropbox, Wire Messenger, and MegaSync.

I just installed the correct version of the Nvidia drivers (as per debian.org):

Code: Select all

rojasrod@debian:~$ nvidia-settings -q NvidiaDriverVersion

  Attribute 'NvidiaDriverVersion' (debian:0.0): 340.106
and if needed, my card is the following:

Code: Select all

nvidia-detect
Detected NVIDIA GPUs:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [GeForce GT 610] [10de:104a] (rev a1)

Checking card:  NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [GeForce GT 610] (rev a1)
Your card is supported by all driver versions.
It is recommended to install the
    nvidia-driver
package.
system still freezes regularly, even from just inactivity


I also have the Xsession errors in this link: https://paste.debian.net/1036839/

Can you reproduce this problem without the added third-party software?

The maintainers of those repositories do not have the skills required to become a Debian Developer so you should expect the packaging to be of a lower standard.

I can try uninstalling them, but as of now I do not have an answer.

I re-installed with the Debian unofficial release with non-free firmware, and everything seems to be working for the first time in a while.
