From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Any advice on where to go from here? This console was running dmesg -w to try and catch an intermittent crash... And this is what I got. I am using an el cheapo USB wifi adapter that I'm suspicious of.

Everything was working fine until I rebuilt nixos with Nvidia support... Now my old generations of the OS are crashing after a few minutes (display on, no response to input, keyboard lights don't respond, SysRq doesn't work)

You're only showing us part pf the error. There should be more above the list pf modules loaded that will provide useful information

dmesg > dmesg-out will give the entire dmesg log as a text file, and you can cut out the irrelevant parts

Good to know! I need to set that up next time, the whole system was unresponsive when I took the photo.

In that case it should be in your logs. I believe the default is /var/log/dmesg.log*, depending on how many rotations have occured since the error

Lol I checked the system journal but forgot to check if the dmesg los is being written 😹 thanks for the reminder, going to take a look later today
