Why is Ubuntu 18.04 shutting down system?












3














Ever since I upgraded my main system from a ridiculously old open-SUSE distribution to Ubuntu 18.04, I have had problems with the system crashing on me. Whatever is going wrong takes a while to build up. It always happens when system is under a heavy CPU driven load. While normally it would handle that load with no difficulties, now response starts getting slower and slower until it becomes completely unusable. And if I just walk away in the hopes that it will eventually sort things out, the computer powers itself down after several minutes.



It is possible, even likely, that this is a hardware related issue that just happened to show up when I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04. But until I have a better idea what is happening, I am afraid to upgrade any of my other systems.



I checked all of the /var/log/ logs after the last crash looking for oddities. And found indications that the CPU was overheating, but that it resumed normal operation almost immediately. I did check that all of the CPU fans are running normally. And I installed psensors, but do not really know what temperature levels I should be alarmed about. Is there anything else I can do about possible overheating issues?

  • On boot you should be able to choose the "memtest" option. Might be worthwhile doing this to see if the problem reoccurs or it reports problems.

  • That doesn't look like a problem, actually. CPU throttling is normal when the system starts to heat up. Can you show us a log from one of the times when the machine shut down? Also, is this a laptop or a desktop? When did you last change the thermal paste on the CPU? Finally, what temperatures are you seeing? Can you show us the temperatures when the machine is idle and also show the output of sensors so we can see the relevant thresholds.

  • Good point about the temps. How do you know that you are having an issue with temps, as these messages are pretty common, and all modern CPUs support stepping based on temperature, load, and wattage.

  • The included logs end at the point where it crashed. In this case I did not discover the system was down until 4 hours later, so it was pretty obvious just when the crash occurred. This is a desktop system that doubles as the office server. It is a pretty old system, probably due for a CPU upgrade. But it serves my purposes. I did vacuum out the dust in the case. Will try to find some canned air to blow out the fans. If I am reading this right, ambient temperature is 28. Have 4 cores that currently read 50-52. Reported past range is 26-100.

Ever since I upgraded my main system from a ridiculously old open-SUSE distribution to Ubuntu 18.04, I have had problems with the system crashing on me. Whatever is going wrong takes a while to build up. It always happens when system is under a heavy CPU driven load. While normally it would handle that load with no difficulties, now response starts getting slower and slower until it becomes completely unusable. And if I just walk away in the hopes that it will eventually sort things out, the computer powers itself down after several minutes.



It is possible, even likely, that this is a hardware related issue that just happened to show up when I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04. But until I have a better idea what is happening, I am afraid to upgrade any of my other systems.



I checked all of the /var/log/ logs after the last crash looking for oddities. And found indications that the CPU was overheating, but that it resumed normal operation almost immediately. I did check that all of the CPU fans are running normally. And I installed psensors, but do not really know what temperature levels I should be alarmed about. Is there anything else I can do about possible overheating issues?

  • On boot you should be able to choose the "memtest" option. Might be worthwhile doing this to see if the problem reoccurs or it reports problems.

  • That doesn't look like a problem, actually. CPU throttling is normal when the system starts to heat up. Can you show us a log from one of the times when the machine shut down? Also, is this a laptop or a desktop? When did you last change the thermal paste on the CPU? Finally, what temperatures are you seeing? Can you show us the temperatures when the machine is idle and also show the output of sensors so we can see the relevant thresholds.

  • Good point about the temps. How do you know that you are having an issue with temps, as these messages are pretty common, and all modern CPUs support stepping based on temperature, load, and wattage.

  • The included logs end at the point where it crashed. In this case I did not discover the system was down until 4 hours later, so it was pretty obvious just when the crash occurred. This is a desktop system that doubles as the office server. It is a pretty old system, probably due for a CPU upgrade. But it serves my purposes. I did vacuum out the dust in the case. Will try to find some canned air to blow out the fans. If I am reading this right, ambient temperature is 28. Have 4 cores that currently read 50-52. Reported past range is 26-100.
