Hi, I tried updating the kernel and currently at 6.16, but system still hangs. It only works when nomodeset is added to disable Intel 915 driver completely.

Because I have been asking my wife to switch to Linux for sometime and one time where she finally agrees, this is what happens. Your reasons are valid but even if I could explain all that to her, she already got one of the worst impressions about Linux with this fiasco. I don’t know how to explain this but this small little thing, this bug, not only has kinda killed my credibility as a tech person in my house, it has also killed the hope of moving away from big corporations towards self hosted services.

Yeah, I tried but it didn’t help.

Well you sent me down a rabbit hole and for a while I thought it was definitely the issue. I found a script that does what the suggested solution in the link says, and I adjusted iccmax values for GPU, but it doesn’t matter what parameters I adjusted, it kept freezing. I tried BIOS firmware downgrade and updates, changed undervolt parameters and so many other stuff, but didn’t help. In fact it kept freezing without going into graphic intensive work, so I tried reinstalling different distro with different DE, yet all of them froze so much much that I gave up. Reinstalled Windows and it hasn’t freeze once. It’s hard to admit as a Linux evangelist but windows works for some bloody reason where Linux simply fails.

Did dmesg local and from ssh. Also journalctl also doesn’t give anything. PC is completely frozen as it doesn’t respond to pings at all

I did both. Local dmesg and from a ssh session as well, both without any entry on freezing. Journalctl is also with nothing out of the ordinary

Also it’s completely frozen, no ping, no caps lock etc.

Yes, freeze like mouse is frozen too, and key strokes don’t work either. No Ctrl alt del. I have to do power reset from physical button.

I am already running Snapraid and machines do spindown after sometime, but it’s still around 50w.

Thank you, this is what I am thinking too. I don’t wanna create e-waste, and apart from power consumption, the nas is very handy performance wise and tackles all load.

Thank you, this is what I needed to know. I thought n100 (similar to what dedicated nas has 6-10w) would bring power down considerably, and thanks to you, I now know it’s not the case.

I actually have an extension cord with IoT chip. Can measure power consumption via home assistant.

It’s 6th gen i5 processor with gigabyte motherboard. And Qnap is ts-531x.

Which Australia? Cuz I just saw a compilation of Australian TV hosts and politicians saying Israel is only killing terrorists, and there is no genocide.

There is a crackdown/entrapment going on, and many people who took part in Pro-Palestinian demonstrations are then ID and catalogued. Palestinian flags on apartment windows and student dormitories are taken down by police. Not to mention, Palestinian flag that was painted in a shop’s garage next to my house and has been there for literally 10 years, was painted over by the city government today. There is a concentrated effort to silence any Palestinian voice, and Germans are just as “clueless” like they were back in the 1940s.

Ok, let’s agree that humans evolved to become school shooters, but how does abortion play a part in it. Abortion actually eliminates possible school shooters, so it balances it out.

Damn. In the old days, I would have yanked the power cable out, but I probably wouldn’t remember powering off the laptop either. Kudos for posting about it though.

Israel humiliated Biden during Obama’s term when Biden went to visit Israel and suggested in soft words that they don’t expand illegal settlements. Israel basically said screw you in the press conference, and Biden took it like an obedient slave. Really showed the world who holds his leash.

That’s one way to defeat Russia. Have them eat garbage food.

I have to use Redhat/Fedora at work, so hate to use them in any personal capacity, hence I mostly use debian or ubuntu based distros (mint, popos, neon etc.). Mostly cuz I have worked with them for so long and they simply work. However, might move to Manjaro/Endeavouros, cuz found GPU passthrough to be more efficient there.

Geez, if it ain’t embarrassing enough after regrets, apologies and resignation in Canada, now we have justifications.
