Vera Lockups

Over the past week, this issue has started occurring several times a day. Vera stops responding and requires a reboot. Are others having a similar experience?

Do you keep UI open most of the time, or you log in only when necessary?

I’ve had lockups with both. For example, Vera locked up Friday morning and the UI wasn’t loaded. I had a missed event and tried to login to the UI and Vera couldn’t be found using findvera.com or its local IP address.

Thinking about it… most of the lockups are when the UI isn’t loaded. I notice the issue when checking on a missed event (motion sensors).

We’ve identified a bug in the Linux kernel that might be responsible. We’re working to upgrade the kernel, but there’s some problems because of the broadcom drivers not being available in source code. We hired an expert on Linux kernels and embedded systems as a consultant to work with us to resolve it. We’ve identified the lockups are not in our code, but rather something in the kernel. So it’s hard to get, but we’re working on it and won’t give up, of course, until Vera runs non-stop without any lockups.

The good news is that my Vera has been stable now for a week with no lockups. Now that I’ve posted that… I’m sure that is will lock up on me. :wink:
