Every few hours I get "ERROR:network_service_instance_impl.cc(916)] Network service crashed, restarting service"

TvE

@sdetweil Yeah - that’s perfect (and expected)
I really have (now stopped) wondering what happened initially :-)

@thgmirror
I made a quick test where I have removed the power to the fan to see how much that changes the temperature (aka a passive cooling test).

After ca. one hour the temperature rises to a max of 57-58 degrees centigrades
For the next hour the temperature is not rising any more
Thus a reduction of ~6K

NB.: I have now removed the lid to see how big (small) a difference that makes

TvE

So - without the lid I get another 2K as - after 15 min - the temperature stabilized around 54-55 degrees centigrades

* Passive cooling lid  on : 63 -> 58 =  -5
* Passive cooling lid off : 63 -> 55 =  -8
* Active  cooling lid  on : 63 -> 49 = -14
* Active  cooling lid off : 63 -> 42 = -21

@TvE I am in the same spot as you.

Raspberry Pi 3b+
Fresh installed Raspbian Bullseye 11
Fresh install of MM with vanilla config and modules - crashes every minute and restarts itself. Are you saying that the config might be the problem?

@TvE That is my experimental setup:

TvE

@Ivanov_d
Maybe we’re observing the same - currently it’s hard for me to tell.

You surely have no heat issue (no additional cooling is needed - only to prolong the life of the RPI)
OS
As you hopefully have read in this thread I started with the same OS as you, then “downgraded” to the socalled “legacy” version and still saw the issues. then it suddenly stopped.
Thus I need to replace to the latest OS and retest

I have no logical reason to suspect the OS but I need to do the test to be 100% certain…

You can follow my test steps (using bisection - remove the handfull of external calls and see which triggers the problem)
My guess
So far I can only conclude that something external provoked the network stack to crash.
In the end of my testing () I had returned to my original config and no longer see problems
That something must relate to one of the two services I was using (part of the vanilla config)

UPDATE!!! - I just looked at my test and wow, this morning I had an error again (my test runs with the monitor turned off, thus I did not see this (I’m working on other tasks at the moment…).

Looking in the logs I see calendar related issues a few hours before the service stopped

My error occurred at [21.03.2022 22:39.02.219] in Denmark
Your error occurred at [22.03.2022 10:27.33.823] in US? (guess deduced from your config)
That way too close to just be a coincidence…

I don’t know for how long you have been running your system, but I will now start to suspect that the root cause lies in the calendar service and we both are affected by the same root cause

I wonder if we can find another source for those data

(I now regret that I turned of tcpdump for my latest testing…)

I am still tweaking my config, however, my approach was the following:

I updated from Rapbian Buster to Bullseye
That broke my Raspberry Pi 3b+'s WiFi connection (seems like a known bug https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=325484), so I removed connman package and installed network-manager and connected to the WiFi. If you install network-manager, you will also want to disable the MAC randomization:
To disable the WiFi MAC randomization, create the following file using the this command:

sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/100-disable-wifi-mac-randomization.conf

and paste the following content inside:

[connection]
wifi.mac-address-randomization=1
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

Save the changes and continue.

I backed up my MM config and modules folder and started with a fresh install of MM 2.18
I started MM with the default config - no luck, it was crashing every minute
I started removing the default modules and installing the ones that I had before
I was observing the same behavior as you did - the default modules that needed network connection, when fetching data were breaking the network stack somehow … I edited the config to enter my calendar and newsfeed URLs and that seemed to fixed the issue. It might be something in the response of the default calendar and/or newsfeed … but that is just my speculation.

I also have pulled all the latest updates for every module that I had installed previously just to make sure that I am all up to date.

Ever since as you can see, my MM has been running steadily. Definitely not an SoC temp issue, since I never had anything than the stock aluminum radiators on the Pi and it has been running for 3-4 years 24/7 already.

I wouldn’t have decided to upgrade to bullseye if it was not a requirement for the new version of MMM-GoogleAssistant.

Anyways, I hope that this helps.

P.S. I am in Sofia, so the date/time in my log is GMT +02:00

@TvE I was jumping for joy way too soon. I took out my SD card to make a backup of it and when I put it back in, MagicMirror started restarting every other minute just like before. No changes were made whatsoever. I am now very confused …

Ivanov_d

Today I got a new error message “GPU process isn’t usable. Goodbye.”:

@Ivanov_d got no idea, but try this from web search

edit package.json

edit the “start” line

after electron add

--no-sandbox

with a space around it

Ivanov_d

I usually don’t do this and dig to the bottom of the problem, but this time I gave up and reverted back to Raspbian Buster and all my issues were solved. It seems that there are still some issues with RPi3b+ and Bullseye.
