Ubuntu Bionic LXDE Desktop /w Firefox and TightVNC stability
#1
Hi all,

I use my Rock64 Pro as a simple browsing jump box. I VNC (TightVNC) to the Ubuntu Bionic LXDE Desktop (image)

 (18.04 and latest TightVNC build) and browse normally using Firefox. However within 20 seconds to a minute or two of browsing the Rock64 Pro reboots. It doesn't seem to be any particualar web contect that is the issue, although there could be something inbedded I'm missing.

Other CPU heavy tasks don't cause an issue. Neither does browsing over VNC using Chronium.

I don't have visual access to the console so i can't see if there is any on screen panic info.

Anyone got any ideas or troubleshooting thoughts?

I've heard of pulse audio issues causing stability problems?

It;s causing the whole rock to reboot not just the firefox process to crash.

Does firefox utilise some specialist driver support for rendering which Chronium does not? Or perhaps TightVNC is the culprit?

Thanks in advance.
