Nano shuts down in headless mode

I am having an interesting problem where a Nano will run for days when connected to a keyboard, monitor and mouse, but will shutdown at what appears to be random times when in headless mode. It will even shutdown with an active jupyter lab session. It does not seem to be an out memory issue. I have gone in through Gnome desktop and disabled the various sleep settings. The Nano has both a hardwired ethernet and WiFi connection. I created the sd image manually using the Nvidia instructions. I am using the 4A power supply from Adafruit :) Not a thermal issues - tried with fanon and then off… All of the jupyter lab applications run just fine and I have even developed some of my own code to control a Tello drone…

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am not a Linux expert but have looked through the syslog and kern.log files.

Here is the excerpt from the kern.log right when the system shuts down (mac address removed):

Hi,

It seems the syslog just goes into reboot without error. But the timestamp looks out of order. Are you sure this log is correct?

Could you enable serial log and put system in idle and see if it show any log during shutdown?

The you for the reply!

I noticed the timestamp issues also. That has occurred every time there is a random shutdown. Strange. If by serial log, you mean attach a serial able and monitor the system that way, I will give it a go :) How do I put the system in idle?

Hi,

Yeah, I meant enable the serial log so that your host is able to monitor the status.

How do I put the system in idle?

Have you ever observed when and how this issue would happen? I meant if you just turn on the device, set the status to never lock down/suspend, will you see this issue?

HI WayneWWW. I finally had a chance to connect a terminal to the console port. Nothing very interesting. Here is what I observed:

At power on, there is what appears to be a normal boot sequence on the serial console. There were some errors due to no HDMI monitor connected. (Exerpts below)
Followed by a normal kernel startup.

The syslog and kern.log also appear to have a normal boot other than some gnome warnings / error.

With on user logged in (system idle), it will run for several hours and then just power off. There is no additional information in the console. The power button will NOT boot the nano and I have to power cycle (unplug / plug) the nano to get it to boot.

The console log appears to show it rebooting just before it shuts down…

Hi Thomas,

Is there any log prior to this one? Below log is the one that system already reboots. Also, just to make sure it is not due to abnormal thermal issue, could you run sudo tegrastats on another ssh console to monitor the thermal condition?

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue any more.
Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one. Thanks
