Not self hosted but at work: after an update to both our firewall cluster nodes they both acted wonky, restarted 5 min after booting, ssh connection wasn't working half the time, dropped packages... the problem persisted through multiple reboots, support had no idea.

the fix was to pull the plug entirely, wait 10 seconds then power them on again. on both nodes we had this behavior and both worked again after losing power for a few seconds.

seems that even for business appliances "have you tried to turn it off and on again" is a viable solution.

Are you sure, you wanne eat that?

At least we would be dealing with someone programmed...

nobody noticed the "someone"?! how delusional can someone be...

These are the kinds of problems I like the most: I once squirted some ketchup on my new shoes while we were out drinking. Ignored it, the next day when it was dry I could pull it off without even a discoloration. If I had used a towel to wipe it off, the shoes would have been ruined.

Less work, more results, that's what I like

The script gets called as either

nvidia-sleep.sh suspend

On suspend and resume as

nvidia-sleep.sh resume

The important part is this:

echo "$1" > /proc/driver/nvidia/suspend

where $1 is either suspend or resume. /proc is a kernel interface that, I guess in this case, tells the kernel to suspend or resume the GPU. It just puts the corresponding string into /proc/driver/nvidia/suspend which causes the kernel to act accordingly.

chvt and fgconsole are commands you should look into, as they are called after the echo to proc and might be important.

In your case, since the driver doesn't come back but the system is usable, ssh into the system from another one and you can check with "sudo journalctl -f" and "sudo dmesg -w" what's happening.

Tbh, I don't see anything systemd-specific.

Hope that helps. Ask away if it doesn't.

Walk of the earth - I knew you were trouble

Rolling back isn't supported most of the time. Would help to know which distribution you are using. Id suggest to pick one with fixed releases instead of a rolling release one.

This can also be happening because of a kernel bug or a faulty cable. Why are you sure an updated broke it?

I'm not really sure what you mean. If you have a live usb stick and boot a system of it, like fedora or mint, there is usally an installer to install the system onto the pc. this does not alter your usb stick though. you can install as often as you like.

I don't get the download part either. the live usb stick is the installer. no need to download additional files.

Remember the live usb environment is not persistant. after every boot from it, all files you have created inside the live environment will be gone.

Don't antropomorphize AI!

An AI doesn't evaluate anything, an AI doesn't check for consequences. All AI does is predicting the next word.

Do I take the car to the carwash or do i walk?

If it's only 300m away, you should walk

Sure, now predict the future please *facepalm*

Oh boy. If people would just start seeing that open source still gives you exactly this, but you know, Linux is for incels and shit, I much more prefer being spied on by big corp.
