Problem in server
 

Hi,
What to correct, due to error below, in Ubuntu server?

https://app.box.com/s/hqhwhafsvndtrjpf571fjic6nxkg9ca5

Which error? Please post it here so we can read it and give you advice.

Your box.com (needs javascript to view:eek:) screenshot says:
The volume "boot" has only 11.9MB disk space remaining.

Is this LVM /boot? Are there old kernels which you can delete?

web-searching will help. Best wishes. Let us know!

Thanks a lot.

I now even cannot open Firefox below. What to adjust?

Below what? Please post the error or screenshot here in on this forum in this thread so a) we can read it and b) it is archived for future use in case this thread is relevant to someone else.

What is your memory usage like?

Also, are there any resource hogs obvious?

Sorry, where to get into Terminal below?

Please show the screenshots here. Use attachments as necessary. See either picture below in this post.

Or if you are in the terminal copy and paste the output between [code] [/code] tags. Otherwise it's not really possible to help.

Sorry, where to get into Terminal below (as attached)?

Thanks. That looks like Ubuntu Desktop, but it can run server applications just as well.

You can get to the terminal with clicking on the Ubuntu icon in the upper left and typing "terminal", or pressing F2 and typing terminal, or by pressing ctrl-alt-t. Once you have a terminal you can "lock" it to the launcher if you plan to use it often. Then try the commands above.

Or since you have the Ubuntu Desktop, you can press F2 and search for "Disk Usage Analyzer"

Justa note about the terminall. There is an emphasis on using the terminal for server activities because then you can use SSH to connect to the server and do your maintenance and SSH can work from anywhere in the world. The Desktop versions are more for local use and thus have graphical tools to do many of the same things.

Can you please show a screenshot of the original errors?

Here is what I've got (see the attached).

How to resolve original problem?

You've got plenty of RAM. What about the output from the Disk Usage Analyzer? Or from df or df ?

Here is what I've got

Probably too many old kernels. What happens when you try the following?

Then after that, what do the following say?

Original problem is System says firefox profile is busted.
Easy fix.
search_engine:
or in a terminal issue
create a new one.

Now is not time time to ask if you have tested backups?
But when was your last backup of your stuff?

Install and learn shutter. :)

The actual error
 

Another way is to close Firefox then in the terminal move the old profile out of the way:

Then try running Firefox again.

But didn't you say that this was going to be a server? Firefox is a desktop application and a graphical one at that.

Sorry, I get the attached.

Sorry, that's not what I typed. You have an extra space in there. Fortunately it did not work.

Please increase the font-size on your browser and re-examine what I typed.

I've run the correct command. But I still get the attached

Any help?

When you moved the directory, did you follow these exact steps?

1. stop firefox
2. move the directory out of the way
3. start firefox

Alternately, what were your results when you tried the same using Habitual's advice about using Firefox's profile manager?

I must admit I am deeply confused as to what a graphical interface and Firefox especially are doing on a server. Is this really a server or is it a desktop with a server application or two? Either is ok but you do have to decide.

Yes, I did follow the steps. This is a server and not a desktop.

How did it get a desktop application like Firefox and the desktop graphical interface that Firefox runs on top of?

I did originally finish the setup of everything of the server, including also Firefox. Do you think I may have to re-do the setup, like to re-create the server OS?

It might be easier to start from a fresh installation. You can practice / test your data and configuration backup and restoration procedures at the same time.

If you are using Ubuntu, then the 16.04 LTS image would be the best choice:

https://www.ubuntu.com/download/server

That will not include any graphics, if it is set up correctly.

Thanks Sir.
I've downloaded that but can you please advise to problem below, in Virtual Box?

Maybe someone else will chime in regarding VirtualBox and Windows. I don't use or condone use of Windows in any way so I wouldn't be able to advise for your current situation. I usually advise running GNU/Linux on the hardware itself and then run legacy systems like Windows in a virtual machine. That give priority to learning an easier more powerful system while sandboxing the unstable, crashy one a bit: you can make snapshots of the Windows sytems and roll back to the snapshots when things go south.
