armbianmonitor error

[Rodrigo Matias]

Hi,

 

I have some armbian 5.38 (kernel 4.11.5) installations and recently updated them. With this update I got kernel 4.14.18.

When I executed command "armbianmonitor -m" I used to get something like this:

 

:~# armbianmonitor -m

Stop monitoring using [ctrl]-[c]

Time        CPU    load %cpu %sys %usr %nice %io %irq   CPU   PMIC

10:52:24:  528MHz  0.47  21%   2%  18%   0%   0%   0% 40.7°C 41.0°C

 

Now after update, and kernel 4.14.18 among other new packets, I got this:

 

:~# armbianmonitor -m

Stop monitoring using [ctrl]-[c]

Are there any broken links among the files that this command looks for or other bugs?

I also realised that now CPU frequency is higher and cpu temperature. Nothing as changed and behaviour is completely different.

 

Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Can you provide the output of the following please:

 

ls -la /etc/armbianmonitor/datasources/soctemp
cat /etc/armbianmonitor/datasources/soctemp
armbianmonitor -u

Never seen this before but obviously thermal readouts are (once again) broken for whatever reasons after a kernel update. I already added code to better cope with this but seems it doesn't work in this situation.

 

Log upload failed due to this timeout issue (how long does it take until the command gets back with that error message?) so could you please do the following instead (capital U this time) and upload the results to https://pastebin.com?

armbianmonitor -U

Sorry for grave digging, but I have the same error messages in BananaPi M1:

Not that I care about those errors, but maybe it can be pushed to fix some bug. I'm running armbianmonitor >> file because my BananaPi setup has small uptime (like, it freezes and I need to restart it - that's another story).

 

PS Keep up the good work on Armbian!

Hmm, from some strange reason, your temperature is not read ... I can't reproduce this error on none of my A20 boards, which are on my desk. None of them is M1, but they are very similar. All work fine.

I did test a fresh compiled armbian-stretch mainline without any problems

- much cooler and mine does show 4.94V-4.97V not 4.76V

So maybe the bugs are alread fixed in the newer versions?

@guidol I can spot some difference in uptime and "a board just booted" and "a board with some uptime doing things". My is running urbackup (mostly active two or three times a day) and nextcloud (mostly idle at the moment). I had issues running this setup for more than 24h (freezes), but it seems to improve:

root@bananapi:~# uptime
 08:56:57 up 2 days,  8:13,  3 users,  load average: 0.59, 0.56, 0.55

And current uptime is still growing after some serious testing (running stress, running btrfs scrub and btrfs balance to simulate "typical" workload).

Not sure where this 4.76V came from? (cant see it in the uploaded log) I've changed governor and min_freq as the board is idle most of the time (as mentioned above). I think that my power supply isnt that bad:

root@bananapi:~# grep -v Time armmon.log | cut -d\. -f1,4,5 | cut -d\  -f8 | sed '/^$/d' | sort | uniq -c
      1 4.84V

      6 4.86V
      2 4.87V
      6 4.88V
     24 4.89V
     32 4.90V
     69 4.91V
    107 4.92V
     85 4.93V

   7853 5.01V
   8978 5.02V
   7890 5.03V

    367 5.05V
     21 5.06V
root@bananapi:~# wc -l armmon.log
38129 armmon.log

I sure can try newer kernel if that can help. I can also ignore it as my uptime finally hit over 24h, but would be nice to solve that bug.
