At least you can copy/paste the output that way.

-
there now that should be better
-
Hmm, well the output looks good but I'm not really seeing anything significant there.
Nothing that looks like a stuck login process or the beep command itself.It was beeping when you took those?
Steve
-
@stephenw10 no it was not beeping at that time. Should I try access the console while it's beeping and run those commands?
-
@stephenw10 Hello so I ssh'd into the console and then tried to log in to the Web Gui and then when it started beeping I got a Web configurator authentication error and got locked out of the console. I erased my ip's etc so there blank because of that
-
Ah OK! That's different. It appears to be actually hanging on the login then.
When that happens does the physical console also stop responding?
Try entering
ctl+t. That can often respond when nothing else does and will show you what process it's waiting for.Steve
-
@stephenw10 OK I will try that later and report back. Also you want me to do that while it's beeping as well and the physical console stops responding as well. The other thing I've noticed now is the physical console actually becomes unresponsive first yet I still have internet and what have you. So I could still SSH into it but a screen attached to the machine is blank and if I press any buttons on the keyboard attached to the console it will lock up as my internet foes down and I have to reboot.
-
Yeah, initiate the beep then try hitting ctl+t wherever you can and see if it returns anything.
There's pretty much nothing to go on otherwise. There may not be anything we can do anyway, I've never seen anything fail like that.
Steve
-
@stephenw10 OK so I ssh'd into the console and this time though when I tried logging in to the web Gui and it started beeping I hit Ctrl T amd nothing would happen but this time it said successful login even though everything was locked up and it botted me from my session.
I also noticed this in logs now ACPI Error: AE_NOT_FOUND, While resolving a named reference package element - LNKC (20200430/dspkginit-605) not sure if that means anything? my motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-A75M-D2H from 2010 ish and has the latest bios F5. The website has one newer bios F6A but it says it's a beta Bios.
-
@bbgarnett I also noticed these 2 other errors the log showed module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (ipw_bss_fw, 0xffffffff8073dd40, 0) error 1 and module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (vesa, 0xffffffff8140c3e0, 0) error 19
-
Mmm, those are ugly but I don't think related to your issue.
Does it play the tune at boot up correctly?
Steve
-
@stephenw10 yes so when it's continuously beeping I hit the reset button on my console and it resets/reboots or whatever and then boots up normally with the boot up jingle.
