Hello, I'm using linux-2.6.32 in a new notebook I bought, and I notice that after some minutes of having booted nixos, maybe 5 minutes of normal work in virtual consoles, all terminals stop taking input.
This affects all VCs, and even any open ssh session (ptys). As I had programs running in the shell I was using in a vc, I see the program still goes on (rsync), and the screen shows any update. The vc cursor stops blinking, too. And the alt-sysrq requests somehow 'work' (the minimum reactions are written to the screen), but I can't change the vt (alt-fX), and output for some listing requests (backtrace, processes, memory) does not output more than a single line of "SysRq: blablabla". What can stop any terminal input in a linux, even for the ptys? Is this a nixos upstart problem? An upstart timeout on something? A basic daemon dying (udev?). I see upstart still works, because the reaction to "kill-all-tasks" is upstart respawning those killed. After that, the inputs are blocked still. Ah, the gpm cursor moves well on screen, but I cannot paste anything. Any idea? I don't know even what to start looking for. Thank you, Lluís. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
