Hey All but mostly jstefanop,
Ive had my Batch 2 for a while now and upgraded to full node a couple months back.
For the past week or two I have experienced repeated crashes where my apollo locks up and has to be powered-off and rebooted.
Node seems to recover alright even though Im not following the shutdown procedure listed in this thread but the whole thing locks up again after an hour or two.
This morning I tried to re-flash my SD but keep getting Windows 10 alerts that the disc image file is corrupted. Ive started from a fresh download 2 or 3 times now.
I continued regardless and flashed the SD with Etcher.io, verify I have removed the USB for full node, boot up my miner, setup, and go.
The Miner will start hashing as verified on litecoin.org but the miner dashboard is failing to load with Error "SyntaxError: Unexpected token in JSON at position 1497"
Node is up and running and I can access the node dashboard just fine.
Please let me know if I am doing something wrong or if there is anymore information I can provide.
Update 202009111156:
Was able to get past the broken dashboard by flashing another microSD I had laying around. Miner seems to be working as expected, node is working as expected.
Wifi is out though, and looks like unplugging Ethernet and switching to wifi has caused the same crash condition I started with and killed the dashboard with the ""SyntaxError: Unexpected token in JSON at position 1464"
code
Update 202009111439:
Confirmed switching to wifi appears to somehow crash the miner, break the dashboard, and lock up the whole unit. Re-flash and sticking to Ethernet seems to be the temporary fix
Few things here:
1) Windows/Mac will always show disk image corrupted after you flash since its flashing a linux system it cant understand
2) Its normal for dashboard to lock up when you first boot when the node is syncing, I could remain this way for hours until the node has finished syncing since the sync takes up almost all CPU cycles and RAM on the controller
3) Setup your miner/wifi first by booting WITHOUT node USB drive. Trying to setup pools/wifi etc while the node is syncing in the background will probably cause the corruption issues you are seeing. Remember to setup wifi, shutdown the miner, then unplug ethernet and reboot. Setting up wifi then unplugging ethernet won't connect you to wifi until you reboot.
1) Cool TIL
2) Node is sync'd, Ill play around with it some more tonight to see if having the node running or not impacts the wifi issue
3) I was not shutting down between wifi setup and unplugging Ethernet, is that listed in the support material anywhere?
Is there any kind of logging being generated I can dig through? Looking back at some charts looks like my miner shut down from 8pm and recovered this morning at 9am running on eco.
