TvHeadend server crashing randomly

Added by Shay Collings over 10 years ago

Afternoon all,

I've set up a TvH server for a friend running a TBS6985. This server crashes at random intervals. So I've tried memtest, which was clear, I've tried different kernel versions, no change, Changed TBS driver, no change. Sometimes it doesn't crash for two days, sometimes it crashes three times in fifteen minutes.

The following symptoms exist when the server crashes

- Screen black and unresponsive
- VNC unavailable on LAN/WAN
- SSH unavailable on LAN/WAN
- Restart fixes it every time

Logs are here http://pastebin.com/Z5CGsEFz you'll see that the last log is at 1437 (when it crashed) and then was restarted at 1620. I've a feeling these crashes are TvH related (or TV Card related) as this never happened prior to these two things being present. If the log is not sufficient to diagnose, can someone please tell me which logs I need and will they be recorded on a crash. If it's not a TvH issue I'll move this to the appropriate linux forum.

Cheers

Not really much to go on there.

See https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/Debugging

- You may also want to join the IRC chat (#hts chat.freenode.net) where most of the devs hang out.

this will not be a Tvheadend issue. If I'm guessing right your keyboard lights flash when it crashes. if so it's down to how your server is setup. best asing at your distributions forums.
