Re: Catastrophic machine freezes - X related

You’re using tmux with or without X? We’re getting different errors. Thus far my errors are definitely X related. Coincidentally I was just working on this. My machine crashed, and my logs are showing: rwsleep_nsec: Xorg[98908]: fsleep: trying to sleep zero nanoseconds I’m looking into it as we

Yeah like Stuart said I need to reproduce the crash and get inside the machine when it’s in that state. To be continued. Best On Fri, Feb 28, 2020 at 7:42 PM Avon Robertson wrote: > On Sat, Feb 29, 2020 at 12:57:07AM +1000, Stuart Longland wrote: > > On 28/2/20 11:32 pm, Justin Noor wrote: > >

Awesome - thank you for your time and for the valuable information. That’s hilarious about the serial port. I’ll try plugging into a switch, reproducing the crash, and SSHing into it. I still haven’t tried the syslogd tip you mentioned either. It’s time for me to start learning more about X. Will

Thanks for offering to help and sorry for the delay - I got dragged into a work emergency. I finally managed to SCP my dmesg to a remote machine. As a refresher I have a 6.6 current machine that crashes when X is running, and almost instantly when Firefox is running - it runs fine without X. The

Yes the machine runs without X. I can scp a copy of my dmesg to a remote machine and go from there. Will be in touch soon. Thank you. On Sun, Feb 9, 2020 at 3:06 PM Stuart Longland wrote: > On 27/1/20 11:59 pm, Justin Noor wrote: > > I am unable to send any log files or anything. I had to send

A full dmesg would certainly help. Also, do you see anything in /var/log/messages? On Mon, Jan 27, 2020 at 4:01 PM Justin Noor wrote: > > Hello community, > > I'm looking for any advice on how to troubleshoot some strange and > catastrophic behavior on my OpenBSD machine

Hello community, I'm looking for any advice on how to troubleshoot some strange and catastrophic behavior on my OpenBSD machine. Seemingly out of nowhere, it started freezing to the extent that only a forced shutdown (holding down the power button) gets me out of it. I suspect it's some kind
