X or GUI freezes #274

Closed OliverGruenberg closed 5 years ago

OliverGruenberg commented 5 years ago

Hi there, I have a strange behaviour here on some of our FullPageOS systems... Some of them "freeze" or better: the user interface in chromium freezes all of a sudden.

I am not sure if this is a memory related issue. To be honest I don't really know where to look for huge log files or an identifiying entry. Also ncdu does not show any big files.

I've looked into ~/.config/chromium/chrome_debug.log and fount the latest entry to be: [1255:1255:0509/084216.340613:ERROR:chrome_browser_main_extra_parts_x11.cc(62)] X IO error received (X server probably went away)

Any idea?

  1. What model of raspberrypi?
  2. What version and variant of FullPageOS?
OliverGruenberg commented 5 years ago

Raspberry Pi 3B Linux box 4.4.38-v7+ #938 SMP Thu Dec 15 15:22:21 GMT 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux Raspbian GNU/Linux 8.0 (jessie)

How do I find out the FullPageOS variant? It's an installation dated 2018

There are two variants for new FullPageOS. the default enables the GPU, there is also one where its disabled. Please try the one where the GPU is disabled. I also recommend you upgrade.

found it: it was USB bus related... system "froze" on heavy network load together with power instability.
