System freeze/unusable

#1 Post by ecor6633 »

Hello,

I've setup in October a desktop running now : Linux 4.19.0-13-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.160-2 (2020-11-28) x86_64 GNU/Linux
From time to time it freezes or at least becomes unusable. Let me describe the symptoms.

Most of the time the UI (now fluxbox, but also tried KDE to make sure it was not desktop related) is still responding: I can move windows, switch workspaces aso. but I really notice the problem most of time by opening a new tab in a browser (whatever chrome or firefox) and notice that it never reach the page I'm trying to reach. But that's not the real problem because if I try then to open a new terminal tab it opens the window but the prompt never comes up so I can't start a new terminal in X.

To troubleshoot, I'm force to switch to console (CTRL+ALT+F1) and one of the biggest issue is that I can login, and obtain a prompt there but can't use sudo. If I start sudo it freeze and I can't do anything. Luckily if I'm in a screen I can create another prompt but even if I try to kill -9 the sudo process, nothing happens and it is still frozen.

I created a root password to be able to be root without using sudo so that I can troubleshoot a bit more but even as root I can htop and try to kill processes aso. kill -9 are not doing a lot.

I couldn't find anything interesting in syslog or messages, I can't find anything special that I would do to trigger the freeze and have no clue on what I could try. The worst is that even if I type reboot as root, the screen become lightblue but it stays like that more than 15min and I have to poweroff/on the computer to bring it back to life.

From what I've googled it could be some driver or something like that but I had already the problem using nouveau driver and recently switched to the nvidia driver because I now have two screens and nouveau wasn't happy (cracking noise all the time through HDMI) I hoped a minute that it could solve the issue but it came back. It doesn't mean we can reject the graphic drivers to be the cause but at least two of them have been tried.

The only "exotic" things I see in my desktop are a USB Wifi-card and a USB bluetooth adapter and I'm running 90% of the time an openvpn to be able to work from home.

Have you any advice on what I should/could do to determine the root cause.

check you free disk space with

Code: Select all

df -h
particularly the partition holding /var
I have got similar sounding issues in past when partitions for /home and or /var are running low on space

I still have 40G free and a single partition scheme so I would says it's ok.
By the way, why would poweroff/on improve the situation ?

Thanks for the proposal, I'll check anyway next time it freezes.

Firmware & µcode? Memory health? SMART check?

And if in doubt blame the crappy NVIDIA blob — throw that POS graphics card away and buy an AMD one instead :mrgreen:

I suspect more something with the network card or something like that because the GUI always respond very well.

I even discovered that when I run a xterm or konsole in fact there is a nvm script in my bashrc that hang but I can obtain a bash with CTRL+C and I can become root in the UI with "su" but not with "sudo".
I can use htop to kill many processes but even with the minimum running there are a lot of commands that fail. I can't use 'sudo' but also I can't use 'ip ad' and 'systemctl restart networking' hang for ever...

If someone understand what my dmesg said I think there could be somehting helpfull in there:

Today I've unplugged the wifi-usb adapter and will try to live without for a while seeing if it could be the cause and if necessary I can plug a usb RJ45 network adapter to avoid the one on the motherboard if it can help... Let's cross the fingers.

You need the debugging symbols to create a useful backtrace but your kernel is tainted by the NVIDIA blob so that will confuse this issue.

After a few days with the USB wifi adapter unplugged I haven't experienced any freeze.

I really think it is the was my Netgear WNA3100M that was causing the problem.
