Good day!

Help me please to solve the following problem:

I am administrator of Academy Dspace 6 repository. I have http, not https. I have Ubuntu 18. Everything was Ok with my repository. But now I have the following problem:

My graphical environment Gnome of  my Ubuntu systems can start, but I do not see login page. Gnome stuck. The last image which I Saw is the following:

I can press ctrl+C, and saw the following text:

terminal1.jpg

terminal2.jpg

I do not know how to enter to graphical environment of my Ubuntu.
I can press Alt+F2 and enter to tty2.

With respect,
Maiia,
Academy.

Looks like you're not connected to the network/internet.

It is not problem with Internet/network, because My Academy Dspace 6 repository has access to Internet, that is I can make access to it through Internet from any computer.

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS reached end of life 6 days ago so I think that what's causing the issues you are facing. Definitely you need to upgrade to a newer Ubuntu version that still supported or as another option you can buy an extended commercial support for the 18.04 version you have to keep using it for a while but still the right decision is to upgrade both the OS and dspae since dspace 6.x will reach end of life too in less than a month from now.

I have Ubuntu 18 LTS and Dspace 6 on another computer which is temporary web server and not real web server. And I have not any such problem which I described above.

It's an OS issue and for sure it's fixable but without more in-depth details I'm shooting in the dark. Trying to help. Try the steps you see below in the sequence you see it:

1) sudo truncate -s 0 /var/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/release-upgrade-available
2) sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
** make sure to choose no when prompted if you want to (Use dash as the default system shell).
3) ping changelogs.ubuntu.com (make sure if it's resolvable.). If for any reason it can't be resolved double check your DNS settings in /etc/resolv.conf. You can use google public dns server 8.8.8.8 temporarily.
4) sudo shutdown -r now
5) apt update -y && apt upgrade -y && shutdown -r now
6) You have to upgrade your server to a newer version. You need to.

Hope it helps.

Mo.

In addition to the previous message and after completing it. it's possible the cause of the issue you have is the failing of the start of Network Name Resolution so you need to further check why it's failing. You can check the service log or the it's errors by running the following comands.

To check the service log.
1) sudo journalctl -u systemd-resolved

To check the service errors it generated.
2) sudo journalctl -u systemd-resolved -p err

To override it temporarily.
3) cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf-orig && echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf

Update & Upgrade your server.
4) sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo shutdown -r now

Hope it helps & Good luck

Mo.

Letter from Daan Lesing:

>Hi there,

>Enter via the command line with your username and password.

>Then check the following files if they are correct:

>sudo vi /etc/hosts
>This file holds your physical server name and IP address eg. >192.168.0.1 repository.com

>sudo vi /etc/hostname
>This file holds your physical server name eg. repository.com

>Could you check that your network settings are correct?

>sudo vi /etc/networks/interfaces

>sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf

Error 1: String “resolv.conf->../run/system/resolve/stub-resolv.conf” is colored by red color.
Error 2: File “stub-resolv.conf” does not exist.

Question 1: Should I restore “stub-resolv.conf” and symbolic link “resolv.conf->../run/system/resolve/stub-resolv.conf”?

>make sure that your DNS and gateway configurations are correct.

>Also check that systemd-resolved.service is started - sudo systemctl status systemd->resolved.service

Error 3: Systemd-resolved.service loaded, but failed.

sudo systemctl start system-resolved.service – failed.

Result of “sudo systemctl start systemd-resolved.service”:
start_resolved.jpg

Result of “journalctl -xe”:
journal1.jpg
journal2.jpg

Question 2: Should I make that systemd-resolved.service will be started that is to be active?

>Hope this helps

Question: How to correct error “Failed to start network name resolution”?

I hate to be "that guy", but this seems pretty clearly a networking issue with Ubuntu, and nothing related to DSpace.  I think the question is probably best asked elsewhere, and not just because it isn't related to DSpace, but because you'll likely get more and better responses from a support channel that's dedicated to Ubuntu.
