My Start9 usually runs great, and I can access it fine from other devices on my local network. However, when something goes wrong with the node and I can’t access it, my only option is a hard reboot - which doesn’t seem great. If I connect a display to my node when I reboot, I can see details of the boot process and everything seems to be normal (at least to my noob eyes). Eventually, I see a the Start9 login screen. But after a few minutes the node stops sending any signal to my display. Keyboard and mouse clicks do nothing. Any thoughts? I’m clueless working with linux and my mini PC, which I have only uses with my StartOS.
Sounds like something specific to your hardware. I take it this is a DIY box? Under system you’ll find “kernel logs” and there may be clues in there.
The best way for a layperson to identify those clues and post them here might be to keep a client device connected to the logs and then wait to see one of these unwelcome events take place, then look at the logs at the same time.
