ww9rivers Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 I have read two old threads in this forum: I have been running this (will post more details if needed) for a few days: VERSION=5.90 DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=18.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=bionic DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS" NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="18.04.3 LTS (Bionic Beaver)" Kernel is 4.19.62-sunxi The BPi would hang/freeze, seemingly randomly within a day or two. When it does that, there is no HDMI video or response to ping. After reading the first thread, I did stress test on the BPi for more than 2 days. The BPi actually hold up. So, next I ran "ping -i 30 -D 192.168.8.1" -- pinging my home gateway every 30 seconds. The BPi has also been up while that is going on. Now its uptime is more than 5 days. I have no problem keeping this going as a workaround -- just thought it may also be of interest to some one. 2
Tido Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 did you replace the power cable or the power supply ?
ww9rivers Posted October 17, 2019 Author Posted October 17, 2019 No. I have not, since the stress test didn't show any problem with power supply. The workaround has kept the box up for 11 days now: $ uptime 04:42:34 up 11 days, 5:02, 9 users, load average: 0.21, 0.28, 0.28 2
Bernie_O Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 Hi @ww9rivers, I am still running Kernel 4.11.5 because of random freezes with newer kernels. On 10/17/2019 at 6:43 AM, ww9rivers said: The workaround has kept the box up for 11 days now is your Banana Pi still up and running without freezes? Uptime is 4 weeks now, isn’t it? How exactly did you issue the ping command so that it kept running after logging out? With nohup or through a cronjob on reboot?
