Rpi drops off network - Calzor Suzay - 24th Jan, 2015 04:16 AM

This has happened a couple of times of late now since adding Staging and Kodi. I know my fault but I wanted to progress Smile

Anyway what log can I look at to give me clues as to why this is happening, I basically have to pull the plug and this isn't good for remote access...

are you sure your HW is OK? I have had this issue and it was caused by bad USB PSU cable. Make sure your PSU has enough juice and it provides stable supply

Yeah it's been fine for a year+ only since staging/kodi, I need stability so rebuilding back to normal build...


RE: Rpi drops off network - Calzor Suzay - 24th Jan, 2015 07:01 AM

Ok rebuilt, fingers crossed she stays up Smile

it's not a hardware issue, I can confirm this issue, after spending a couple of minutes on the SSH console the raspi just disconnects somehow and that's it. using the same configuration (Kodi + staging) as the other guy. let me know if you need more information. or is it a known issue already?


RE: Rpi drops off network - Calzor Suzay - 1st Feb, 2015 02:28 AM

Yeah went back to 'normal' version and dropped off network, have since run a bunch of updates today but it no longer launches the 'gui' anymore now.


RE: Rpi drops off network - CurlyMo - 1st Feb, 2015 02:32 AM

What's the "GUI"?


RE: Rpi drops off network - Calzor Suzay - 1st Feb, 2015 03:23 AM

The text config thing it just logs onto a prompt now.

Either way the updates haven't helped and it dropped off the network again.

What logs can I look at to find out why???

so you reffering to xbian-config in ssh?



RE: Rpi drops off network - Calzor Suzay - 1st Feb, 2015 03:58 AM

yup but to be honest I 'm not too fussed about that I can just run it but it's dropped off the network multiple times.
I'm pretty sure it's just the network as the Domoticz stats show the temperature of the Rpi without any gaps.


RE: Rpi drops off network - IriDium - 1st Feb, 2015 05:26 AM

How are you connecting to the RPi?

I've had this sort of problem before when using putty on Winoze. Setting the "timeout" to 0 solved the problem.


RE: Rpi drops off network - Calzor Suzay - 1st Feb, 2015 06:39 AM

I get no ping and access to the Domoticz website drops off.
I'm assuming it's just losing the network not dying, any logs that can verify this?


RE: Rpi drops off network - Calzor Suzay - 1st Feb, 2015 10:15 PM

Ok not sure if it's the network or the whole box is hanging.
I left a keyboard plugged in, started fine and keyboard worked, left it X amount of time and noticed couldn't ping it anymore. Turned TV back to xbmc and it was in darker power save look, keyboard no longer responsive had to pull the power.

What can be done to resolve this?

Is the rPi firmware independent of xbian OS?

Looking here https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware it's 3.18.5 but my rPi says it's 3.15.8+ from a uname -a


RE: Rpi drops off network - CurlyMo - 1st Feb, 2015 10:46 PM

No, rpi-firmware is closely linked to the OS. Newer kernels are available in the staging repository for you to test.


RE: Rpi drops off network - Calzor Suzay - 1st Feb, 2015 10:48 PM

Staging = experimental though.
I thought normal would of been stable but it doesn't appear to be...
