Do your Raspberry Pi's Network Interfaces freeze?

My Raspberry Pi 4 kept losing its wlan0 interface. I could usually reconnect via Ethernet but, from time to time, I noticed that the eth0 interface would also go walkabout.

I tried a lot of things but the one described here seems to have cured the problem. I have no idea why it works. It just does.

Step 0 - are you a Windows user?

The script shown in the next step should be created on your Raspberry Pi. Please do not make the mistake of selecting the text, copying it into a text editor on your Windows machine, saving the file, and then moving the file to your Raspberry Pi. Unless you take precautions, Windows will add its 0x0d 0x0a (CR+LF) line endings and those will stop the script from working properly on your Raspberry Pi.

Checking your Raspberry Pi's view of its power supply

Sometimes it seems like the first (and sometimes only) advice you get offered for almost any problem with a Raspberry Pi is "check your power supply". You think something like:

"hey, I'm using an official power supply sold as being matched with my Pi so how can there be any problem?"

You look up the specs then stick a controlled load across your supply and confirm that it can deliver the required number of Watts.

Yet your problems persist…

System wide cpu usage:

The numbers on the top left from 1 to 8 represents the number of cpu's/cores in my system with the progress bar next to them representing the load of cpu/core. As you would have noticed the progress bars can be comprised of different colors. The following list will explain what each color means.

Blue: low priority processes (nice > 0)
Green: normal (user) processes
Red: kernel processes
Yellow: IRQ time
Magenta: Soft IRQ time
Grey: IO Wait time

How to sort dict...

By value

Return as a list of tuples:

x = {1: 2, 3: 4, 4: 3, 2: 1, 0: 0}
sorted_x = sorted(x.items(), key=lambda kv: kv[1])
#=> [(0, 0), (2, 1), (1, 2), (4, 3), (3, 4)]
