Help w/ crash
(lemmy.world)
Any advice on where to go from here? This console was running dmesg -w to try and catch an intermittent crash... And this is what I got. I am using an el cheapo USB wifi adapter that I'm suspicious of.
Everything was working fine until I rebuilt nixos with Nvidia support... Now my old generations of the OS are crashing after a few minutes (display on, no response to input, keyboard lights don't respond, SysRq doesn't work)
Does it still get the error without the wifi adapter connected? The stack trace shows some network-related stuff (which doesn't necessarily mean that's where the issue arose, but it would be a little coincidence based on what you said).
That's the first thing I'd try, and if removing the adapter fixes it (long term) I wouldn't use the adapter anymore. Sometimes broken hardware breaks other hardware it's connected to.
If removing the adapter doesn't fix it, then the next thing I'd try is booting back into the known-good old old OS, maybe removing the NVidia card, basically simplify everything one step at a time until it stops happening, if you can.
Next chance I get I'm booting without the USB wifi adapter. I'm worried I may have broken something because it was mostly stable before :/ lol I actually don't have the Nvidia card yet, I ordered a cheap Tesla K80 that's arriving on Tuesday 😹 and it already brokey system :P
That's a good idea, I have an Ubuntu partition that I should try.
