said Dr. Nikolaus Klepp via tde-users: | 1) make a backup - just in case it's your harddisk that's dying. check. | 2) run memtest. strangely, memtest no longer appears in my grub menu, and i have no memtest executable. | 3) preoare a backup machine that might be a big bite. | IMO when things die unexpectidly while powered up it's | hdd/ram/somecard/mainboard in this order. we'll see if it repeats. i very much hope it doesn't. i wondered if a log i've had running -- a ping every three seconds with the result written to disk -- might have stressed something. and it has on occasion over the years suffered from what seems to be something overheating, such as when it tries to compile a heap of nvidia modules. | The error on r8169: that's a bug of the hardware or kernel, not sure | which to blame. It leads to dropping network connections now and then | and with network-manager the kernel modul crashes when you have wifi | enabled and plug in the lan cable. I notized it to appear ~ 2 months ago | (amd AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U on lenovo T14 AMD gen1). You can work around | it with "pcie_aspm=off pcie_port_pm=off" added to /default/grub. yeah, i kind of figured that out -- i have disabled the onboard networking in favor of a standalone card and imagine it's that. what i don't understand is why boot stopped entirely with the check of /dev/sda1, which it found to be okay but then did not proceed, and why everything works if i boot into rescue mode -- again, from my grub menu, not from a usb drive or anything. and right now it is the only drive in the system. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/ ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
