Every once and a while, my Librem 5 will get stuck or hang, sometimes with “Unknown Applications” not being able to close. Yesterday, I couldn’t run the “ip a” command, it would just get stuck forever. I also the chatty application hung and I couldn’t kill it with “sudo killall -9 chatty”. Usuall…

Maybe. If I’m not mistaken the kernel update from yesterday or so might fix that. Unfortunately, I was not able to really pinpoint the issue. Actually, I think there might be a few issues that have similar symptoms, or that might trigger each other.

Would be decent if that update did fix the half hang thing because it’s pretty annoying to not be able to use my Nexdock or have my phone go offline and people trying to call me and just get my voicemail.

I wonder what it means that “Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac43752-sdio.purism,librem5r4.bin failed with error -2” and “no txcap_blob available (err=-2)”. Here is what I see after booting up. $ sudo dmesg | grep brcmf [ 23.344845] brcmfmac: F1 signature read @0x18000000=0x1042aae8 [ 23.3…

It occurred again today. I booted the phone, connected it to a USB-C display, opened a flatpak GNOME Web, clicked this forum to load, opened Files, opened a text file with gedit, and then GNOME Web failed to load the page with “Socket I/O timed out”. I launched the terminal and issued sudo dmesg, wh…

I don’t believe this issue is solved yet. Pretty sure it’s the USB problem.

What is the USB half hang issue? You think it’s related?

Today I had a call drop and then I went to run sudo dmesg, but it hung. Then I tried to run sudo journalctl and it hung also. So then I tried pinging the device and it failed. This leads me to think that this network device or its drivers is causing the majority of the problems.

[image] braindon: I went to run sudo dmesg, but it hung Yes, I see sometimes that even sudo -i hangs.

Yeah, I just tried sudo -i and it hangs too. When I try to pull down the top of the screen and turn off the software switch for wifi, it doesn’t actually turn off. How do I know what type of WLAN card I have? That seems to be the most likely culprit. As an experiment, I’m going to use the hardwa…

When I do sudo dmesg | grep redpine I see a lot of logging. Probably this is one way of determining the card you have. The Redpine module was used before the Sparklan module. I see exactly the same with the WiFi switch not working. And also with the long time for reboots. Actually, I thought it …
