I have some new hardware that locks up a lot with Ascii. Sometimes it happens on its own, other times it seems it can be triggered by going to the console (ctrl-alt-f1 for example) and back to the X session (ctrl-alt-f7). Any suggestions about how to diagnose or fix or work around this? I'm not a hardware person at all.
Below is an excerpt from kern.log capturing such a lockup which happened at 14 past the hour. The next entries, not shown, pertain to a forced cold boot. /Lars $ uname -sr; lsb_release -rd Linux 4.9.0-5-amd64 Description: Devuan GNU/Linux 2.0 (ascii) Release: 2.0 # lshw -sanitize -class display *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: Intel Corporation vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 2 bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0 version: 02 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pciexpress msi pm vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=i915 latency=0 resources: irq:129 memory:dd000000-ddffffff memory:b0000000-bfffffff ioport:f000(size=64) memory:c0000-dffff *-display description: 3D controller product: GM108M [GeForce 940MX] vendor: NVIDIA Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0 version: a2 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=nouveau latency=0 resources: irq:128 memory:de000000-deffffff memory:c0000000-cfffffff memory:d0000000-d1ffffff ioport:e000(size=128) memory:df000000-df07ffff ==== from kern.log: Jan 15 16:57:20 devuan kernel: [23006.037953] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: DRM: evicting buffers...
