A new and bizarre issue has emerged on my Linux Mint server that seems specific to my Ender 3 and OctoPrint. Every night at midnight, regardless of whether a print is running or not, the USB connection to the Ender fails and restarts. (See screenshot from my Telegram OctoPrint plugin.) I’ve tried setting usb.autosuspend to -1 in GRUB, but that doesn’t seem to help.

I’m completely stumped and could use some advice. The failures are far too scheduled and predictable to be a random hardware failure. A relevant chunk of /var/log/syslog is included below for reference.

Check your crontab log for anything running at midnight?

[–] artair@pawb.social 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Checked that and the systemd timers. No dice. However, this problem started right around the time I updated my kernel package, and there was another update that I applied yesterday. I connected the printer and let it sit overnight. No midnight disconnections.

I’m running a print job now that should run past midnight. Fingers crossed that this was just some kind of transient kernel bug!

[–] artair@pawb.social 2 points 5 months ago

The print job didn’t fail, so I’m going to write this off as a kernel bug until/unless it happens again. I’m just glad I can run long jobs again!

try to force it to be midnight(changing the timer ik) and see if it happen

[–] essell@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's haunted. Only explanation.

I'll call Dean and Sam. Grab the salt.

Just make sure you don't feed it after midnight.

Long shot but I saw something similar recently so it's on my mind: do you have any home automation gear running on a schedule that could be killing power or connectivity?

[–] artair@pawb.social 1 points 5 months ago

Nope, but I found the problem. A kernel update also came with a brand-new bug. A subsequent kernel update fixed the issue. I've been running prints overnight with no midnight disconnects for days now.
