It's likely an issue with the export on the Synology as the issue persists across multiple machines running fully updated builds of Ubuntu 17.10. I'll send my queries their way.

First off, I'm not sure if this is an issue with my Synology DS212j (running DSM 6.1.4-15217 Update 5) or with my PC (running Ubuntu 17.10). I've only recently noticed the issue and have been poking...

If you've used Ubuntu before - especially years ago when it came with GNOME 2 - Ubuntu MATE may be a good choice. Use the 32-bit version for lesser hardware. Lubuntu is fine too but, if you're not...

Watching the aforementioned video, I noticed the guy tries to connect to it, via something like \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\share, at about 17:23. Are you saying you had an issue making that connection?

Just a note for anyone else... I tested this in Kubuntu 15.04 and it works just fine. (Side note: It's been a while (2009-2010) since I last saw Kubuntu and I have to admit, at first glance, it...

I mostly used SuperPutty to do periodic maintenance for small groups of servers. With more experience with Ubuntu's Gnome and Unity desktops, I did not know Konsole had the ability to hit multiple...

Strange question.... Been Googling around and I'm either not querying the right term or I'm just really unlucky. Anyway, I used to use SuperPUTTY to manage a lot of our Ubuntu machines. I've seen...

No, I never did figure out the issue. I gave up and moved it off that vlan - which makes me think there could be an issue with the vlan but I'm not entirely sure.

Update: I reloaded the VM from scratch and worked in it all day. Within 30 minutes of me calling it "good enough" and logging out of it, it dropped off the network again and I had to jump back into...

Update: I ran a continuous ping all weekend from a my Windows machine to the aforementioned Ubuntu Server and I only had a 1% loss Now, that 1% accounted for 2853 lost packets and, while that's not...

Update: In the few minutes it took me to type out the 1st post, it dropped again! I looked over at my SSH session and it was dead.

I looked around the forums and one mentioned to check the logs. ...

Not sure if this thread belongs in the server forums or in the networking forums; feel free to move it if need be.

Seeing a strange issue with Ubuntu Server 14.04.1 LTS. It periodically drops off...

Ahhhhhhhhh, I see. Okay, I've made the change and set the permissions to mimic the others in that directory. I'll see how this works on my next reboot during our maintenance window. Thanks for the...

A little help on this, please.... I recently ran into this issue on an 12.04.2 server. FSTAB is set to mount 2 NFS shares and it used to work fine. A few updates and a reboot changed all that. ...

Well, I implemented the same fix (dumping to 2 different log files) and that seemed to fix the same issue on the other server I had mentioned. Like you, I don't know where else to start looking...

Hey, I'll gladly keep troubleshooting. I have another server that runs a similar script that tars up something in /var/www and makes a backup of a MySQL database so I was going to implement this...

HA! I think I got it. As soon as I changed the code so it echoed out to different txt files, it all started working fine.

New code:


#!/bin/bash

## Variables
dbuser=root
dbpass=snip

This is just a shot in the dark but you don't think the 2 commands in the script could be stepping on each other's toes, do you? Meaning, the mysql backup works fine and then it begins to echo out...

I know it doesn't make any sense! :)

Yes, if I remove the the echo statement, it seems to work fine. Does that make any sense???? :)

Ok, made that change. Current line in the script looks like:




tar -chzf /$dest/$tarball1.tar.gz $data1 2> /home/homenet/backup-tarball.txt 2>&1 && echo "Completed OK" > $logs/$HOSTNAME.log...

Understood. I think there's something similar in Windows. I know I've used && a few times over the years....

OK, I've tweaked mine and set the job to run every 2 minutes and it's failing. The logs stays, "Failed to Complete." I'm sure those double pipes (||) have something to do with that but what do they...

First off, this is "sudo's" crontab; not mine. I don't know if that makes a difference but I read, somewhere, that there's a scrontab for each user. While logged in with my user, I can run: crontab...

Without that redirect, I get a general error and the tarball is smaller and the file is broken/corrupt.


With that redirect:


The phpbb3 database backup completed successfully with error...

So, now what? I still find it hard to believe that redirecting the output to the log file made it start working. :confused:
