Ubuntu Servers :: Server Restarts Randomly?
Jul 2, 2011
I`m using Ubuntu Server 10.10. The system randomly restarts each day.Here are the logs: http://paste2.org/p/1499309Everything seems normal except that UDP: short packet thingy but even Google didn`t help me to find what`s thatBy the way, I think reboots started after I configured this PC as a gateway between internet and my local network

I'm currently using ubuntu desktop 9.10 (without desktop - I've removed packages) as OS on my server.But there's going on some strange thing ... There are about 8 users, and the thing is they many times user rar or some other disk-demanding programs. What I've noticed is that sometimes server will go with load over 20 (I know that's not good ...) and it will come down in few minutes and everything is OK, but sometimes it just restarts itself. I would like to disable that so it won't restart

Gnome restarts itself suddenly and (at least it seems so) randomly. Then I have to log in again and everything works fine as before.

Recently, I updated the kernel to the latest version and also installed Ruby and the Passenger module for Apache. The server was fine for a few days.However, today, it's been restarting randomly (usually a minute after I can log in).I tried booting with recover mode so I could view the logs for a longer period of time, but that caused it to restart before even allowing me to log in. Now, all boot modes will just cause the server to restart right after the GRUB messages appear.Our server setup complicates things. We have a RAID-1 mirroring for the /boot partition and a RAID-5 (software) for the / partition

when I start playing some medium-intense game the computer just restarts randomly. I made a lot of search on it and even tested various things. I have been having this system for about a month and the problem appeared just one week ago.I am a big fan of "Spring: TA" and that's the easiest way to reproduce the problem, by playing that game(and the most annoying). The funny thing is that when I just start the game the gpu temperature raises very fast. If after some time the pc doesn't reboot on itself the temperature just gets lower and lower. I was suspicious that the problem had to do with temperature so I made some scripts and logged the temperatures in every instant time.

Since I updated twice to the two newest versions (currently, Cairo Dock 2.1.3 beta) it every hour or so it randomly restarts which causes 50% tray icons to go bye bye (especially those of Wine programs). If I want to get them back, I have to restart the computer or at least the program with missing tray icon.Anyone knows why CD restarts or how to get back my missing icons after it does?

I've recently installed Fedora 14 (x86_64) on my Alienware m15x laptop which has a NVIDIA GTX 260m onboard. Now I have followed leigh123linux's guide to installing those drivers on F14. The installation is a success and everything seems to be in working order, until the system randomly logs the user out and/or restarts the session with no warning. The screen goes black and the nvidia logo appears and then its back to the login screen again. This can happen many times with no apparent stop insight. This does not happen with the default F14 drivers that come with the installation, I have tried several re installations of the Fedora OS and several re installations of the NVIDIA driver, i still have the same problems.

is it normal having several security updates week after week in a 10.04 ubuntu lts server distro? Some of them even need a system restart, which I consider truly bad for a web server...

Changes I've made to the config files:
Connecting with PuTTy works fine with my public/private keys. But why does sshd start and then restart twice when booting? I tried looking in the logfiles under /var/log/ for anything with ssh/sshd but nothing shows up.

I want my server to automatically shutdown at 23:59 and startup at 8:00. The startup is handled through by bios but the shutdown is to be managed through cron. I thought I had this working, I actually swear I had it working because I thought the uptime command showed the appropriate uptime. I happened to be up and was streaming a movie from my server when at the time it should've shutdown it actually just restarted. If I run the shutdown -h now command by itself it works well but the scheduled command just restarts the server. Here is the what is shown when I enter crontab -e.

This is my first message. I manage a Virtual Web Server(provider Dattatec).
The problem is that the server automatically restarts... in /var/log/messages, i don't see any message:
I ask mi provider, and says that is because is out of memory... How can i check this? How can i know why my server restarts ?

I installed latest stable debian lenny. However when I want to switch to a virtual console by pressing Alt+Ctrl+F(1-6) the X server is restarted and I get the gdm login screen. When I kill gdm, virtual console switching works fine. How to switch a to a terminal and return to my X session by pressing Alt+Ctrl+F7?

If the server restarts, does the information in iptables get lost? I have seen a number of pages where people recommend readding lines or creating bash scripts to get it to work again. What about files like squid.conf, ncsa_auth files, etc.?

Ubuntu ver 8.04.1 and Bind ver 9.4.2
I've set this up as a primary dns server, Bind is the only thing running on it, no gui, etc. I followed the default settings so I have a named.conf, named.conf.options, and named.conf.local file.
I have a log file I labeled as named.log in this path /var/log/bind. I'm using logrotate to rotate out the file.
My problem is that after syslogd restarts in the morning. My named.log file don't start logging info until I restart Bind. The new named.log file gets created and the old files rotate out and compress. All of the other log files in /var/log, syslog, messages, mail, etc, rotate out and compress like they should, after syslogd restarts.
I know that I could restart Bind using Cron but I shouldn't have to.
Below are snips of the files I'm using.
I named this one 'bind' and it's in the directory /etc/logrotate.d

I'm making a clever backupsystem based on nfs and rsync.Basically, I export folders from the clients to a backup server, and the backup server processes them and makes backups.The backupserver mounts the folders during startup, but if a client restarts, then I guess it would unmount from my backupserver, right?What can I do to make it automount the folder whenever the client gets back up again?All the clients are static servers without much interferance, without any risk of external people tampering with them and without internet access. Security is not an issue, and any kind of shady compromisingcripts will do.However, installing software on them is tricky as I have to download packet for packet and transfer them via usb manually.

On a whim vsftpd seems to stop working randomly and any attempted connection times out while waiting for the welcome message.It'll take a couple reboots and a couple "sudo service vsftpd restart" 's and it'll eventually start working again.AFIIK everything is at the most currant version. It just started doing this a few weeks ago.Here is my config file:
Code:

Running a LAMP server, CentOS as the OS.The sites always been slow, but now that ive optimized it with mysql cache, gzip compression and some other things, its really fast.Except when pages loading seem to randomly 'time out'. The browser sits on 'waiting for x.com'. Closing the browser and/or the tab and opening a new one fixes it, but then it'll happen again eventually. Clicking further links while its 'waiting for x.com' does nothing, basically the site becomes unusable until you close the tab and reopen it.
This happens on all 3 virtual servers we're running within apache. Mainly noticable on the PHPbb forums, probably because they are visited the most.It's not a slow mysql query, i turned on slow query logging over 2 seconds, and the only two hits i got on that i know are unrelated.Ive turned off some optimizations thinking they might be it, but no dice.

I have a problem with one a server installed with Debian 3.1, that is restarting almost every day at the same hour, 6,25 AM. Here are the messages obtained with #cerberus:/etc# grep -C 5 restart /var/log/messages
.....missing displays....
.....missing displays....
As I said, there are days when the system is not restarting, but more often it does. For example, on 6th October it didn't restart, but on 7th it did, and the messages are the same.

I have Dovecot installed that constantly "commits suicide" due toe constant time changes on my server.But I don't have any NTPD or anything running.. If I do a Code: watch date it updates the screen every 2 seconds, and you can clearly see the time flip back a few seconds, and then go back to the correct time.. Sometimes it goes back a few minutes, and back to normal..
I literally did this 10 seconds ago..

I have an Ubuntu 11.04 Server set up for my small office whose sole job is to run as a samba file server. The problem is that it randomly hangs. For example, I can connect the clients just fine, however if left idle it tends to take a few moments to work when you try to go back into the shared folder or drive. The client will behave like it is disconnected and is trying to search for the drive only to a few moments later, go right back to normal behavior.
If I ping this server while this is happening my requests will time out for a little while and then just start working. The same thing happens when I try to connect with Putty or through WebMin. One second its unreachable then the next its fine.I have already tried swapping out patch cables (which actually seemed to work for about 2 weeks) and I have patched it to an alternate port on the switch. The only thing I have not done at this time is to change the NIC.All the clients are running Win7 with the exception of two XP machines.Simply put, its like the machine just goes dormant for a while until you ping at it for a while to wake it back up.

I am running ubuntu 10.04 as a web/file server. I have set up several cron jobs in the past which until recently were executing normally. However, a few days ago, cron jobs stopped executing after a restart. I was able to fix the problem by deleting and reentering the cron jobs, but only until the next restart. ps -ef lists cron.
Summary:
1.) Cron was working --jobs executed without error and restarts worked fine
2.) Cron jobs stopped executing after a restart about a week ago --ps -e still lists cron
3.) Removing all cron jobs and reentering them by copying and pasting fixes until next restart
4.) Cron job syntax is known to be correct since they were executing before this problem arose.

2 times now our server has randomly shut down. Completely powered off as if the power cable was pulled or something. Both around the same time. 7:30ish. Once was on Friday June 5th, then last night, Wednesday June 10th.
Here is the log from last nights crash/shutdown:

I'm in somewhat of a sticky situation. ssh has just randomly stopped working on my server after a power failure. Everything else that doesn't rely on ssh is still working fine though. It can still receive mail and everything, just no ssh.Background on the server, running debian etch on a PPC machine.ssh is (supposed to be) running on port 2000. Even if I am physically logged into the machine I can't log in with ssh -p 2000 user@127.0.0.1.
I can ssh to and from any other machine on my network (the server can even ssh into another machine). So it isn't my network causing issues.It seems like the port 2000 is completely closed, if nmap the server's IP address I get PORT STATE SERVICE
25/tcp open smtp
80/tcp open http
110/tcp open pop3

I have a Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5721 network card on my server at work.Everything works fine for a few weeks, then randomly the network connection on the server will stop working. After it stops working, I will try to reconnect with the network manager, it shows a wired connection available, it shows the "connection in progress"animation, then the "connection disabled" icon.
I uninstalled the network manager and used manual configuration, but do you think the network manager was the issue? I can't have the server disconnecting randomly every few weeks with no way to know what the real problem is. Was there an issue with the network manager with 10.04?
