  3. System hangs on cold boot

    in Desktop Help

    Posted

    Ok guys... it seems I found out what's going on with my system. Let's begin with "no, it is not an hardware fault"... well, mostly it isn't. I tried replacing my PSU but it did not fix the hang-ups. I also tried to switch distro (from Funtoo to Gentoo and then some LiveUSB distros) but nothing seemed to help (I thought about the opensource radeon driver locking the system and with Funtoo I was not able to install fglrx). Then, this morning a lightning stroke me and I was like: "let's try to clear the CMOS"... well it did not help but I noticed one thing: the mobo did not recognized the RAM timings and voltage correctly! I had to activate some ASUS thing called "D.O.C.P." and voil?... I get the right profile in the preferences and the system is rock solid since then... it's even f*cking faster! My Kingston kit is even in the damned QVL... WAY TO GO ASUS! :angry:

    I was like this the whole morning:

    EDIT: just to be clear. My RAM supports both JEDEC (standard) and XMP but the former is DDR3-1600 11-11-11 @1.5V and the latter is DDR3-1600 9-9-9 @1.65V. The BIOS set this profile: DDR3-1333 JEDEC 9-9-9-28 @ 1.5V. WTF?!?

    Oh... and one more thing. This wouldn't solve my problem at all. I want to avoid two sets of passwords. I doubt pyd.io will authenticate against my joomla database, will it?

    Well it may need some hacking... I never tried to integrate it with some other piece of software but it shouldn't be too hard. See here [1] for some other software which runs natively under Joomla as a plugin.

    If you need to authenticate users among different platforms mysql is not (IMHO) the best choice. I built a server long ago which had LDAP as back-end for web (vBulletin), FTP and PAM authentication. I really do not know JOOMLA but I guess it has LDAP support.

  11. GNOME 3.16

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Uhm, I installed GNOME 3.16 from dantrell's overlay. It compiles and starts but something odd happens: keys "r" and "s" do not work. "r" key just does not do anything whilst "s" key reduce the GNOME scaling factor down to "0,75"... what's going on? :/

    After some investigation (and a full system installation) I finally noticed something strange in the logs:

    I guess my power supply is going to die soon...  :(

  17. System hangs on cold boot

    My system disk is a SSD. I started the test but when it finished it I was not able to retrive the log... I tried with "-l error", "-l ssd" and "-l selftest" but these are the results:

    Maybe I get what the fuss is about. In the dmesg I found a line saying:

    fb: switching to radeondrmfb from EFI VGA

    It seemed redundant to me to have two different framebuffer drivers just to switch from one another in about second... so I disabled EFIfb and no hangs occurred since two days ago.

     

    The thing I noticed after this change in the kernel configuration is that the display goes offline (sleep) as soon as GDM starts but I can live with it.
     

    I'm going to follow your advise though but what is the command to gather those SMART logs? I know about smartctl... is there another utility?

     

    PS: Now that I think about it, Windows 7 and above use EFI framebuffer (if installed in UEFI mode) to show the Windows logo while loading the OS and then it activates the AMD driver... I guess it is a VGA BIOS bug but I'm not sure.

  25. System hangs on cold boot

    Was it a permanent trouble or started at some point?

     

    Well, actually it started on Windows: I had a dual boot system (Windows 8.1/Archlinux) and sometimes it hung at Windows login screen but since Linux worked fine I did not take care of it (I used Linux 90% of the time). Eventually I got bored by the problem because it started to happen on every cold boot and also on Linux. I then replaced the configuration with the current one (only Funtoo) but it did not solved the problem. I loved Gentoo and waited far too long to try Funtoo. ;)

     

    I will provide the other info you asked for ASAP. In the meanwhile I changed my kernel configuration in order to enable the SysRq magic key and I compiled/configured netconsole. Now if the system hangs again I can retrive the dmesg from my seedbox (hopefully it will contain some useful information about the problem). ;)
