occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

Approximately 1 out of every 5-10 boots hangs on my T400 with ASCII. It seems to be completely random.

When it happens, the usual boot messages scroll by without any errors and then the messages are cleared to a black screen as usual, but instead of my desktop appearing the screen stays black with cursor blinking in the upper left corner of the screen. The only way forward is to press and hold the power button until system is off then power up again (or do SysRq + r-e-i-s-u-b).

Has anyone else experienced this? If not, can you help me troubleshoot? I guess setting up saved boot logs would be a first step?

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

First of all, would you reveal your desktop and WM?

Haven't seen this with lightdm and Mate.

Have a look into the logs e.g. syslog from the previous boot where the bootup is stopping.

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

I use MATE with its default WM, which is marco. My display/login manager is lightdm.

I took a look through /var/log/syslog but did not find anything obvious yet.

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

I just had another hung boot. It was 1:42 pm when the boot process left me at the black screen. I waited at the black screen until 1:46 pm before forcing a reboot with SysRq keys. These are the last few relevant lines from /var/log/syslog. I can go further back if necessary:

It seems that the last lines logged from the boot attempt were from ntpd, but maybe that's a red herring. Any ideas?

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

GNUser:

How about closing your eyes and just typing in root<CR>, then your password<CR> and see what happens?

I recall at least one instance when I screwed something up that the VC was really alive and responsive - just nothing was being displayed.

.... or, maybe not.

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

bbatten, that's an interesting idea. I will try that next time I have the issue and will post the result in this thread. I do know that at least the kernel is running (SysRq key works and I can use it instead of power button to reboot).

Also, FWIW the problem affects all virtual consoles: When screen is black and I press Ctrl+Alt+F1 (or F2, F3, etc), instead of seeing a login prompt like I normally do I just see the same totally black screen.

Next time it happens I'll save the X and lightdm logs in addition to syslog.

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

Seems I remember someone else fixed something similar by changing to slim.  slim and lightdm have different backends.  Might be worth a try.  Might also be off the mark.

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

golinux might be on to something. I rebooted several times and it happened again after a handful of boots. This time I saved the entire /var/log directory.

Nothing interesting in the X log for the failed boot:

I marked the first line that's different between the two lightdm logs with some asterisks.

Before I jump ship and switch from lightdm to slim (which I've never used), I'd like to try troubleshooting my system as currently configured. Maybe lightdm is innocent and this is actually an X issue despite the benign-appearing X log?

Any idea why lightdm is failing? Now I have access to whatever logs we need.

P.S. I tried bbatten's idea but no luck. When boot hangs this way, computer does not respond to anything except power button and SysRq key.

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

I had a very similar issue to yours in Ubuntu 14.04.  The only difference is that it produced the error on every reboot, not just random ones.  I kinda lost faith in lightdm afterwards, and began a full transition to either slim or console login.

I wonder if the 14.04 and ascii packages are based on the same lightdm version.

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

Don't think so. I got version 1.18.3 under ASCII.

Interestingly I have quite the same configuration, ASCII upgraded from Jessie, Mate and lightdm. No issues so far on my desktop PC.

What happens if you disable ntp?

Good luck, rolfie

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

I will give slim a try. If problem recurs with slim, then maybe xorg is to blame? I still think ntp is a red herring, but will try disabling it if all else fails.

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

Problem recurred with slim. Darn. I guess lightdm is innocent.

I'll try the other things but am running out of hope of nailing down this issue.

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

The message about 'seat' makes me think of systemd-related things.

Which libpolkit packages are installed?
consolekit or elogind?
Is libpam-elogind installed?

I have no idea why it would be intermittent.

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

Hi, fsmithred. Thanks for piping in. All these packages are installed on my ASCII partition:

Packages with 'libpolkit' in name:
libpolkit-agent-1-0:amd64 0.105-18+devuan2.4
libpolkit-backend-1-0-elogind:amd64 0.105-18+devuan2.4
libpolkit-gobject-1-0-elogind:amd64 0.105-18+devuan2.4
libpolkit-qt-1-1:amd64 0.112.0-5
libpolkit-qt5-1-1:amd64 0.112.0-5

Packages with 'consolekit' in name:
consolekit 0.4.6-6

Packages with 'elogind' in name:
elogind 234.4-1+devuan1.5
libelogind0:amd64 234.4-1+devuan1.5
libpam-elogind:amd64 234.4-1+devuan1.5
libpolkit-backend-1-0-elogind:amd64 0.105-18+devuan2.4
libpolkit-gobject-1-0-elogind:amd64 0.105-18+devuan2.4

I honestly know very little about these packages, so don't know why these particular ones are installed.

These are the only packages on my Devuan Jessie partition, which always boots reliably:

Packages with 'libpolkit' in name:
libpolkit-agent-1-0:amd64 0.105-9+devuan1
libpolkit-backend-1-0:amd64 0.105-9+devuan1
libpolkit-gobject-1-0:amd64 0.105-9+devuan1
libpolkit-qt-1-1 0.103.0-1

Packages with 'consolekit' in name:
consolekit 0.4.6-5

Packages with 'elogind' in name:
none

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

I honestly know very little about these packages, so don't know why these particular ones are installed.

I don't have a clear grasp of the specifics but I do know that different display managers require different backends.  And an upgrade creates more problems than a new install. It has to do with the replacement of udev with eudev.  This post might shed some light on your problem.  fsmithred is one of the best sources for specifics.

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

fsmithred and golinux, thank you both very much. Based on the simple word or in fsmithred's post and golinux's link, I realized that I don't need both consolekit and elogind.

I tried uninstalling elogind (to simulate the package lineup in my problem-free Devuan Jessie partition) but doing so would force the removal of a truckload of packages including most of MATE. Therefore, I uninstalled consolekit. So far no negative consequences and I've booted my system 20 times for testing without any "hung" boots so far (using lightdm from ascii's repo). Fingers crossed...

fsmithred, is it possible that the intermittent nature of my issue was because of a race condition between elogind and consolekit?

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

@GNUser . . . that's good news.  Keeping fingers crossed that you've seen the last of hung reboots.  Sorting this conflict consistently is one of the last things holding up the next release.

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

No luck. Problem struck again first boot this morning. Uninstalling consolekit was not the answer.

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

Perhaps totally unrelated, but after I uninstalled elogind I had to run pam-auth-update and checked or unchecked some item(s)? I don't know if this relates to booting. Just a thought.

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

Thanks, catprints. I did it just now and everything was checked.

So a recap of where I am at this point:
1. Tried using slim instead of lightdm, but problem recurred so I'm back on lightdm.
2. Uninstalled consolekit. Problem recurred afterwards but I'm leaving consolekit uninstalled since it seems superfluous.
3. Ran pam-auth-update as root. Everything is checked in the prompt.
4. Did full system upgrade again this morning.

I'll update the thread when I have something new to share.

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

From the log snippets, it looks to me to be an X issue, that after launch, X says it's ready (signals) before it's actually waiting for connections. So sometimes it fails when the connection attempt is made. This causes lightdm to try another launch, but the second launch fails before giving any signal. So now lightdm is awaiting the signal from X, while the first X is sitting there waiting for connections.

If you would have a side entrance (eg ssh) ot the system you could check up if it might be this situation.

But I don't really know what to do about it. If any part of this is scripted, eg lightdm, it might be possible to insert a delay between receiving the ready signal and attempting a connection. Or something.

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

Thanks, ralph.ronnquist. Inserting a delay between X's ready signal and lightdm's connection attempt sounds like a promising hack, but beyond my (current) skills.

I also thought of downgrading X to the version from Devuan Jessie, which apparently never signaled before it was actually ready for incoming connections. I'm trying the downgrade now but am quickly finding myself in dependency hell.

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

Problem just recurred despite 1-4 in post #20.

I'm giving up on getting X and a display manager to consistently play nice. Will try my luck with startx, hopefully it will be more consistent.

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

So far so good with startx. Here's what I did:

1. sudo apt-get install xinit (the xinit package contains the startx executable)
2. sudo apt-get purge lightdm
3. In /etc/inittab, comment out this line: 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
4. In /etc/inittab, add this line for autologin: 1:2345:respawn:/bin/login -f bruno tty1 </dev/tty1 >/dev/tty1 2>&1 (use your username instead of bruno, of course)
5. To run startx automatically upon login, add startx to ~/.profile

Hopefully the miscommunication between X and display manager (i.e., X sending a signal that it is ready for lightdm/slim to connect when it isn't actually ready) does not happen between X and startx. I'll mark as solved for now. If problem recurs I'll post again and remove the "solved" tag.

Re: occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED]

Problem happens sometimes with startx as well. At least startx produces a (helpful?) error message when it happens:

The interesting bit is "intel_do_flush_locked failed: Invalid argument" of course. I did some duck-ducking and it sounds like this could be a kernel bug. If so, this is extremely strange because I'm running the same kernel in ascii that I was running in jessie without any issues (I'm using the older kernel 3.16.51-3+deb8u1 because ascii's default kernel causes some graphics artifacts on my machine: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=1905).
