View Full Version : Help debugging freeze
Hello,
I have a Gigablue Quad and OpenVix. Randomly, expecially on night, I found the decoder freezed, stuck with clock fixed. It doesn't happen every day but it happens once a week approximatly. I'm trying to understand what happens but the decoder is inaccessible (ssh or telnet too) and come back to work fine only switching it off and on, but after the restart I lost every log (I have log only from start, not from previous day).
Can you suggest me some tips to debug its behaviour?
Thanks in advance
Try setting your logs manager to save both crash logs and debug logs to a HDD or USB stick (be aware that using a HDD for debug logging will prevent that HDD from going to sleep as the log is written to the HDD continiously). This way all your logs are saved to a external device and will be safe from unexpected loss.
had the same behaviour on a vu duo... after a while it turned out to be a hardware problem: defective capacitor.
what about /var/log/messages, do you see anything in there that might give a clue over the period where it freezes?

The fauly capacitor only really affected a small batch of Vu+ Duo's. No other issue has had this issue nor are the likely to either.

I can't access the decoder while freezing... it's the reason why I'm asking how to preserve logs after forced physical reboot

it's not that issue, I had a vu duo in the past and I replaced defective capacitor. On Gigablue Quad it seems a software failure, like kernel fault. But if I can't access o preserve logs I can't be sure.
A debug log should remain on the system even after a forced reboot. :confused:

it was already enabled on /home/root/logs but I can't find anything :confused:
Is there a way to make append and rotate /var/log/messages instead of overwrite it?

Do you stream to other devices or via the webif?
I have a gb quad plus and if I remote stream with or without transcode the box will hang and will require switching off and on to recover.

I do use remote stream (without transcode) very often and it works well. There are open issue on it?
I was able to grab a kernel issue, do you notice something of known?
