Greetings Mythizens, I missed a couple recordings due to a freeze-up. I<br>
use Ubuntu 14.04 and Mythtv 0.27 with auto shut down / turn on. Last<br>
night I closed out as normal, around 10:48 pm, but when I came back<br>
today I see a frozen (no mouse or keyboard response) Desktop wallpaper<br>
with last night's time displayed. I'm hoping the pastebin of my syslog<br>
can shed some light on my problem. It gets interesting around line 1540<br>
or so. Any suggestions or further info needed? TIA Daryl<br>

I have had untraceable freeze-ups happening from time to time for a number of months. My box locked up last night, *as I accessed it* for the first time in over 24 hours. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for the lockups.<br>
<br>
Your report is the only one I have seen which has any trace.<br>
Can you quickly describe, or point to a source which describes how you got this trace? I find the logging which mythtv now provides is totally incomprehensible and useless.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I found it by guess, I knew that logs were in "/var/log" and opened "syslog.1" thinking it was a system issue.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Regarding what happened, it looks like NetworkManager lost the plot and then regained connection. Nothing happened for a couple of hours and then, and THEN, maybe a recording was initiated, and the system tried to check signal strength, with an invalid argument. (And that's weird). It tried and tried and... I presume that's where the freeze happened, at 22:43:58 on the 16th.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>this is the point when I closed Mythtv FE for the night (which normally causes system shut down), the next day, it needed a hard re-boot.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Everything below there, looks like the re-boot.<br>

I did some updates yesterday and the box behaved normally last night and today, so I'm still scratching my head. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
