Package: firmware-misc-nonfree Version: 20210315-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
This is a low-quality error report. First, it is likely that I can't repeat this problem because it occurred during upgrade of the package ; package is now upgraded.. Haven't tried forcibly installing older version and then upgrading again to see if problem persists. Secondly, I'm not 100% sure this is the package to blame. Thirdly, I don't have proper log files because after the incident my filesystem was in read-only mode so I don't really have proper trace about events leading to situation described below. Steps for producing the problem: 0) Have debian testing in lenovo e15 gen2 with intel cpu 1) apt-get update ; apt-get -f dist-upgrade What happens: dist-upgrade got stuck when it was extracting files from package firmware-misc-nonfree or setting it up - can't remember which. Filesystem went to ro-mode so nothing really worked so I had to power-cycle the computer so everything I had in progress was lost. After the power-cycle system booted up ok, I did "dpkg --configure -a" and "apt-get -f install" and at that point it reconfigured package firmware-misc-nonfree:amd64 (20210315-2, 20210315-3) and everything has been fine since that. For unexperienced user it still might be confusing to have apt-get stuck and having to have forcibly reboot the system to continue working. History.log of apt looks really bad, namely like this: @^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@ Start-Date: 2021-07-28 11:59:51 Commandline: apt-get -f install Upgrade: firmware-misc-nonfree:amd64 (20210315-2, 20210315-3) End-Date: 2021-07-28 12:00:04 and log file contains some kilobytes of ascii 0 (^@) and then this Commandline: apt-get -f install that is after the reboot, from situation where I triggered apt-get -f install manually. Kern.log has one entry that points into microcode direction, it says Jul 28 11:58:43 pikkufisu kernel: [ 0.000000] microcode: microcode updated e\ arly to revision 0x88, date = 2021-03-31 just before actual "boot" message: Jul 28 11:58:43 pikkufisu kernel: [ 0.000000] Linux version 5.10.0-8-amd64 (\ [email protected]) (gcc-10 (Debian 10.2.1-6) 10.2.1 20210110, GNU \ ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.35.2) #1 SMP Debian 5.10.46-2 (2021-07-20) that has been logged after the reboot. Before microcode upgrade there are things in kern.log regarding wlan: Jul 28 11:25:54 pikkufisu kernel: [593181.653751] wlp0s20f3: send auth to 54:a0\ :50:72:f0:00 (try 1/3) Jul 28 11:25:55 pikkufisu kernel: [593181.776572] wlp0s20f3: authenticated Jul 28 11:25:55 pikkufisu kernel: [593181.782350] wlp0s20f3: associate with 54:\ a0:50:72:f0:00 (try 1/3) Jul 28 11:25:55 pikkufisu kernel: [593181.786709] wlp0s20f3: RX AssocResp from \ 54:a0:50:72:f0:00 (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=5) Jul 28 11:25:55 pikkufisu kernel: [593181.791057] wlp0s20f3: associated Jul 28 11:25:55 pikkufisu kernel: [593182.017261] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE)\ : wlp0s20f3: link becomes ready Those are 3 minutes before I had to reboot the system so this problem just might have something to do with 00:14.3 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (rev 20) being reconfigured? If I remember correctly, this Wi-Fi card was the actual reason why I had to install firmware-misc-nonfree in the first place. There is slightly similar occurrence described in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=263040&p=5 but there sympton is not a hanging system or that's how I understand. I'm insert below exerpt from /var/log/syslog but I'm not absolutely sure if it is from period before or after the reset button. Reason for reset button was that root-fs was mounted ro so I kind of doupt that there would be any log entries from time before the boot. -- Antti Here the log excerpt goes: Jul 28 11:25:47 pikkufisu kernel: [557940.692344] Freezing user space processes ...
