You can generate a simple protocol by using
crontab -e and enter

@reboot echo “---------- start ----------” >> proto.txt
*/5 * * * * date >> proto.txt
1-56/5 * * * * vcgencmd measure_temp >> proto.txt

which will write a timestamp and a celsius amount every 5 minutes…and an eyecatcher at every boot. Look after a while into the file.

TvE

@thgmirror A cron based measuring is a good approach I’ll keep that in mind if I start to suspect temperature (or when I perform a load test my grabber-PI).

For now I do not think it can be temperature related as it’s very reliable around 60 degrees centigrade

pi@mirror:~ $ vcgencmd measure_temp
temp=59.6'C

60 is bad if u can do 30!

Great post(!)

(And here I thought that 60 was the normal/expected working temperature)

I think I’ll add a passive solution (or maybe even an active - but then there is a fan that will die)
(I have some other - rather expensive - equipment that died due to a dead fan, and unfortunately there was no way to measure the temperature - bad design…)

I see these two obvious options:

The active solution might even add enough cooling even when the fan dies (as it seems that there is a passive “path for the heat” from the CPU
I should try both :-)

What is to gain?:
I am aware that the warmer the chip the shorter it’s life
(I have complained to a vendor that one of their products got so warm that I burn myself if I touch the enclosure, but they insist that it’s expected - even though I have had to get at least three of my nine devices replaced!
I think it’s due to a bad design - hence my heat complaint…)

The rule of thumb is something like this:

By increasing the device temperature by just 10°C, we have reduced the lifetime by over 2x

https://www.electronics-cooling.com/2017/08/10c-increase-temperature-really-reduce-life-electronics-half/#:~:text=If one were to ask,reduces component life by half”.

BTW: I have not seen any more network-service-instance-crashes, it’s still going strong after 8 days, really weird (but good!)…

TvE

@thgmirror

63.4 C? Could be less!

I have now added one of these [1] to my RPI 3 and returned it to the enclosure (the “starter kit cabinet”).

The temperature is now 48-49 degrees centigrade after 30 min usage of MM.
So it reduces the temperature with ~14K - thats nice (if you don’t mind listening to a spinning fan which is actually fairly loud in at least 2 meters distance)…!

I’ll try passive cooling later…

Oh! - and I had a 14 day uptime before powering off (the original reason for this thread :-)

nice!!

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.

@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 …

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.
