I can't get Endeavour OS to run system keeps freezing

callj · January 27, 2022, 2:25pm

Whether in the live os or if installed, Endeavouros (and other distros) freeze after a short time.
The boot time is 3-4 minutes. After that, the system runs for a few minutes and then freezes.
I created a log but couldn’t find anything there that could help.

You are running a very old kernel. 5.15.8 is from before Christmas. You did not do an update for a long time.
I suggest you do a system update first and see if that helps.

callj · January 27, 2022, 2:35pm

I installed the os today and used the latest iso. When i try to update anything it freezes.

mbod · January 27, 2022, 2:53pm

Please check your RAM with memtest86+. I assume this is available in the boot menu.

callj · January 27, 2022, 4:43pm

Memtest passed with 0 errors.

callj · January 27, 2022, 4:57pm

The log above was from live os this is from installed os

I see the following for partition ID-1 which is your crucial drive.

overlay source: ERR-102

First question? Check if it installed in UEFI mode?

test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo efi || echo bios

kjw · January 27, 2022, 5:10pm

Welcome to the forum @callj

ricklinux · January 27, 2022, 5:11pm

@callj
Welcome also.

Edit: After checking if it’s installed in UEFI mode. Did you disable secure boot and also turn off CSM and and use UEFI only when you installed EOS?

ricklinux · January 27, 2022, 5:20pm

Is EOS installed to the crucial drive?

callj · January 27, 2022, 5:23pm

Yes i have installed in UEFI mode. My bios is set to CSM because when i change it to UEFI it tells me
“There is no GOP (Graphics Output Protocol) support detected in this card.”
Seems thst my graphics card doesn’t support it.

EOS is installed to ID3 Seagate model: ST3500830AS.

ricklinux · January 27, 2022, 5:28pm

Okay. Not sure about this: “There is no GOP (Graphics Output Protocol) support detected in this card.” Haven’t run across this and i am familiar with the Pro-A boards. You have an older nvidia card which is currently running on nouveau open source drivers. You could try the 390xx series drivers that are in the AUR as they support that card.

Edit: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-390xx/

I’m curious because you say the freezing happens on other distros too.

Edit: I think the pre 600 series cards have issues booting in UEFI mode by the looks of what i have read so far.

callj · January 27, 2022, 5:45pm

I already tried to install different gpu drivers but
…it freezes everytime.

ricklinux · January 27, 2022, 5:59pm

Well it shouldn’t be freezing. So you’re going to have to narrow down the cause of that. I see you have the latest UEFI Bios. What did you have running on it before that worked properly? Or is this a new build?

callj · January 27, 2022, 6:10pm

Currently i’m running windows 10 on ID1 with no problems. And i tried windows 11 on the Seagate (ID3) and it worked without problems.
I updated the bios yesterday because i thought this would help with the freezes in linux.

ricklinux · January 27, 2022, 6:18pm

Can you post the output of

sudo fdisk -l

Also post the link

cat /etc/fstab | eos-sendlog

I see you set it up with btrfs. I assume you created the partitions manually? I see you have a swap partition. I don’t know if btrfs deals with a swap partition? I’m not a btrfs expert. I do use btrfs and in case you don’t know the calamares installer is set up to create the btrfs installation. I use erase disc and swap file with btrfs and it sets up everything needed. After install you can use btrfs-assistant and snapper to set up snapshots. You just have to install them and configure the btrfs-assistant settings. I don’t really have an idea why it’s freezing unless it has something to do with swap partition or using a /home. It is my understanding that a swap file is recommended but swap file could be used.

Edit: Hopefully someone with more btrfs experience will advise more.

callj · January 27, 2022, 8:33pm

I used erase disk too with btrfs and swap because this setup works with my laptop very good. But i also tried ext4 without swap so i think this shouldn’t be the problem.

ricklinux · January 27, 2022, 8:43pm

I used swap file on mine and i have no /home. I have no issues with MSI X570 board with AMD RX590.
