Random reboot while using EOS

General system Newbie
1

Hello, I recently installed EOS properly and everything works fine, except my system randomly reboots itself, i do not know whats the issue, i tried searching around on the forum but couldn’t find anything useful for my specific condition.

Windows works just fine and never reboots, but when i am on EOS i would face randoom reboots every 2 hour or so.

The details that might be helpful to start with @ZediTheGoodGuy, are:

Your general hardware info:

inxi -Fxxc0z | eos-sendlog

When it randomly reboots, run this immediately after to retrieve the log up to the point of reboot (filtered to the last 100 lines):

journalctl -b -1 | tail -n 100 | eos-sendlog

These commands will provide a link that you can share here, so we can review the data.

Thank you, i will remember this from next time :slight_smile:

Here is the journal log

Here is the system info

May I confirm, is that journal log taken immediately after a random reboot? It looks like a clean shutdown.

7

Also, do you experience the issue when using the standard kernel? Your hardware may be too new to be fully supported by the LTS kernel.

8

Nope, somehow, i did not face any random reboots today.

I have only used LTS till yet, let me switch to normal and will report if it arises.

Lame joke but, Maybe the issue got afraid that i posted it on EOS :slight_smile:

10

I agree with this also. :wink:

Edit: I would check the journalctl command as @Bink suggested.

Hey got a random reboot just few minutes ago, here is the log from the command you suggested, but the log this time is weird
https://0x0.st/XtU5.txt

There is literwlly nothing in this log even though command is same

12

Look at what’s causing it. PID 961

Edit: What is ps -p 961

13

Edit - output of ps -p 961
https://0x0.st/XtUC.txt

14

Its same on mine. So i don’t think that is what is causing the reboot.

15

Btw ever since the suggestion of LTS being too old for my hardware, i have been using normal kernel, and this is the first time i have faced this with it.

Edit- can you please check ps -p 940 and if it is

    940.        ?          00:00:03.   rtkit-daemon

You didn’t have any reboots on lts?

17

I did have reboots on lts but never had on normal, its my first ever reboot on normal kernel.

Could it possibly be some kind of random bug?
I looked at people having same issues but majority of the cases were of bad memory or messed up power supply, but my laptop is too new to have these and also random reboot never happens on windows.

18

On desktops especially it can be the power supply or ram. Could also be ram in laptop or loose connection inside possibly? Hard to say. Or some other issue. :man_shrugging:

I found a comment on a reddit post, a guy had random reboots due to misconfigured swap partition, i did create swap manually during installation, could it possibly be because of that?

Here is my system ssd structure:

nvme0n1     disk 476.9G gpt    
├─nvme0n1p1 part   260M gpt    vfat
├─nvme0n1p2 part    16M gpt    
├─nvme0n1p3 part 377.1G gpt    ntfs
├─nvme0n1p4 part     2G gpt    ntfs
├─nvme0n1p5 part     3G gpt    swap
├─nvme0n1p6 part  86.3G gpt    ext4
└─nvme0n1p7 part     3G gpt    vfat

Edit - p6 is EOS, p5 is linux swap, p7 is for systemd bootloader

Edit2 - Thank you rick for being so patient with me, i am truly grateful man, i know it kinda sucks that i am complete noob, but still again, you and all other guys are really helpful.

Did you add the swap to the fstab file?
