Hi,
I've a strange problem:
freevo runs with mga and framebuffer very stable but sometimes:
In the last weeks my freevo hangs after running for many hours (>6h) doing nothing
within freevo.
Yesterday the main menu screen was corrupted and no input on the console possible
(keyboard locked).
My Linux runs, but maybe the framebuffer has crashed or freevo locks my keyboard.
Logging from the network let me kill freevo and other processes but there is no way
(for me)
to get the framebuffer console back. Rebooting is the only solution.
How can I find the reason for this behaviour. I suppose it could be my acpi (apm) but
I'm not sure
because the time varies till I got the "crash" or keyboad lock and I have no special
apm configured.
Inspecting the log files doesn't give me hint. So my questions:
How to debug and analyze this problem before and after I reboot
How can I restore my framebuffer/keyboard input without rebooting ?
How to send freevo event from the network to exit freevo clean (lirc and keyboard are
probably locked) ?
My freevo:
1.4.1 with matrox G400 and mga 800x600
acpi kernel 2.4.24, no apm used
Athlon XP on KT266A
cards: hauppauge wintv,Matrox G400, SB live
running idlebar plugins:
plugin.activate('idlebar')
plugin.activate('idlebar.weather', level=20, args=('EDHL',))
plugin.activate('idlebar.clock', level=30, args=('%a %H:%M - %d.%b',))
plugin.activate('idlebar.cdstatus', level=40)
plugin.activate('idlebar.holidays', level=50)
plugin.activate('idlebar.system.sensors', level=60, args=('temp1','temp2', 'MemFree'))
Last question: Has freevo any additional power saving functions ?
sorry that I can't give you more details due to the crash,
Thomas
Last question: is this topic user or developer related ?
