16.04 server installation and making bootable image of same

lundi 1 août 2016

I installed Ubuntu server 16.04 and got it working fine. Have tried a couple of drive clone/imaging software (Clonezilla, Terabyte) to clone and image the drive with Ubuntu server installed, and rather than imaging just the 30GB or so with data, the programs clone/image the entire 500GB drive. This has not been my normal experience, and I am wondering if it has to do with the ZFS file system that Ubuntu 16.04 uses and the software being unable to detect it correctly.

Do I need to used a different setup when installing Ubuntu server, or is there a clone/imaging available that can read the ZFS filesystem (assuming this is the issue) and not attempt to clone/image the entire drive and create a bootable clone?

Cannot connect to NAS after 16.04 upgrade

lundi 1 août 2016

I originally posted this problem in another thread implying that the culprit was Samba but now I'm not so sure so I closed that thread and started this one.

I have a WD My Cloud NAS which I've been using for several years through Nautilus using a location bookmark (smb://000.000.0.000, not all zeros of course but the ip of the device). I have smbclient installed (but not Samba itself) and all was well until the 16.04 LTS upgrade.

Now, I cannot connect to the NAS at all - no error messages, just no connection.

I originally assumed this was due to a Samba bug (and on Launchpad there are a few) but now I'm not so sure because I can't connect using Gigolo either (which uses GVFS for network connections, an entirely different method than Samba).

So far I've reinstalled smbclient, gigolo, gvfs-fuse, restarted the computer and recreated my Nautilus bookmark (several times) all with no good result.

I don't have a great deal of Linux experience and am hoping someone here can help me solve this issue.

Thanks in advance...

16.04.1 upgrade from 14.04 boots to black screen.

lundi 1 août 2016

I got the 16.04.1 upgrade notice and started it through terminal with do-release-upgrade. It threw a lot of dpkg errors near the end, but said the update was complete despite the errors. I tried to sort out the errors before restarting, and somewhere along the way running apt-get autoremove was suggested (I think after running apt-get update && apt-get upgrade). After that I opened update manager to see if things were okay, and all it said was that a restart was needed. On restart rub tries to boot to the new kernel, but doesn't do anything besides showing a black screen. Selecting the previous kernel (3.16.7-031607) drops straight to a command prompt.

Starting the previous kernels recovery mode works, so I ran dpkg repair which gives confusing output.

Code:

Calculating the changes

The software on this computer is up to date.

There are no upgrades available for your system. The upgrade will now be canceled.

Do you want to start the upgrade?

 Continue [yN]  Details[d]
Details shows nothing. Saying yes throws dpkg errors that look the same as what happened at the end of the initial release-upgrade, which consist of many variations of

Code:

dpkg: error processing package <package name> (--configure:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of <package name>:

lightdm

upstart
gnome-session-bin
Most of which seem rather important. My hunch is that running apt-get autoremove when it was recommended caused this problem.

What I've tried so far includes these

dpkg --configure -a Which gives the same dependency errors and package list as above.

apt-get update Which only checks 4 sources, all http://ift.tt/2aovmiX for xenial (security, InRelease, updates, backports).

do-release-upgrade Which finds no new releases.

apt-get install -f Which gives the same sort of dpkg errors, and gives a "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"

Past that, I'm at a loss for how to fix this, and my google-fu isn't finding others with as many packages missing. Let me know if there's other info that could narrow down the problem.

No resume from suspend, computer restarts in unity, cinnamon, mate

lundi 1 août 2016

Excuse me if this is not the right place...

But in unity, cinnamon and mate, my computer restarts when I resume from suspend (if suspend is working at all).

Googled and tried everything to no avail.

Anyone have any suggestions?

This does not happen with KDE.

Thanks

Dafydd
