  1. Right, so I've tried to debug and even switch hardware for !GNUsocial node # but a problem that the system shuts down (and the hardware watchdog is set to reboot it) every 5 minutes (quite precisely) regardless if network is up or not.

    I'm thinking it might be the harddrive (the only old part) or it's something that's occurred in #

    1. @mmn What are the temperatures like?  Intel chipsets will automatically shut down if they exceed a certain temperature.

      1. @maiyannah There are other identical machines in the same room that don't show any weird behaviour.

        1. @mmn Strange.  Anything in syslog to indicate a kernel panic?  I know a lot of this is "stupid" stuff and I don't know how much I'm helping, but most of the things I can think of probably aren't a factor here.

        2. @mmn @maiyannah Are you sure it ain't a dead (or paritally dead) HDD?

          1. @econe I have tried running from a USB stick installing an OS to _another_ harddrive and still experience the issue even with the supposedly faulty one unplugged.

    2. @mmn Hmm and if I try to install Debian Jessie I get the same error on a completely different machine even if the same drive's not plugged in... (and sort of this error - unannounced shutdowns - started showing up when I updated it to Debian Jessie, but then only during the nightly backups).

      So I'm thinking kernel issue. Will try to install Ubuntu, which seems to work on another machine from the same batch.

    3. @mmn Alright, so I'm mangoing stupid. It _was_ the watchdog resetting the machine because I didn't tell the watchdog that everything was alright. Argh.

      Anyway, the machine's changed now anyhow. The last one looked like this: https://quit.im/notice/56958
