Another 'Hang' of DWC

@Garfield This thread seems much the same. See @dc42 's response.

Sounds identical, I see this error a lot in syslog ...

Feb 20 21:59:39 duet3 vncserver-x11[467,root]: AgentInitCheck: agent comms failure
Feb 20 21:59:44 duet3 vncserver-x11[467,root]: AgentInitCheck: no response from agent

Why would I be seeing VNC server failures - ????????

Where would I find the duet control log ... and why can't linux distro's be consistent !!!!

Details of Duet

DSF Version: 1.2.4.0
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6HC v0.6 or 1.0 3.01-RC2 (2020-02-18b1)

@Garfield Unfortunately I don't have a working Pi4+Duet 3 working setup yet, so can't help with the details. This seems to be a DSF issue, so one for @chrishamm to look at.

its part of the stock image unless you download the lite version with no x winows (or disable with raspi-config or remove with apt)

DSF logs are available via:

sudo journalctl -f

Or, if you want JUST a particular log:

sudo journalctl -fu duetwebserver
sudo journalctl -fu duetcontrolserver

I wonder if the out of order reply is the trigger ....

Danal

It is certainly a symptom, but we already knew that from the DWC console.

The "out of order" just means it came over the socket on its own, not as a sequenced response to something. We knew that also.

Garfield

How can I assist further ? - makes sense to do so while I can reproduce the problem at will.

Restarting the service definitely fixes the problem.

Incidentally I did not send any 'abort' requests so I don't know why the 'Received file abort' is there.

Danal

I just noticed the "System Time Has Been Changed".

For me, changing the time on the Pi will kill a print. Cause a hang or a fault.

Do we know what is causing that?

I just ran again since those logs I had recently turned on, these logs are from the system that's been enabled a while (like ever since).

The Duetcontrolserver hang / fail is still happening, it is unpredictable but occurs most during homing. The web gui still functions for some things but is useless for any kind of control once this occurs.

Does anyone have a way to put this service into some sort of debug mode because there is nothing useful logged - it is almost as though the Pi doesn't know the service isn't working, this may be a communication failure between the web service and the control service and not actually a service failure.

The latest logs from the latest 'crash' - absolutely useless ..... I will be removing VNC since it serves no useful purpose to have a remote access to a browser window - that I already have access to.
