I am currently developing a Web API using ASP.NET Core with Entity Framework Core and SQL Server. It runs perfectly well with a couple of users, but when more than one request comes into the system simultaneously, its performance degrades drastically.

Below is a sample of the code I have written:

public async Task<IActionResult> GetUsers()
{
    var users = await _context.Users.ToListAsync();
    return Ok(users);
}

Environmental Information:

• ASP.NET Core 7
• Entity Framework Core
• SQL Server
• Approximately 50–100 simultaneous requests while testing

Issue: As the number of simultaneous requests grows, response time is incredibly slow and CPU utilization increases. At times, requests are timed out.

My Attempts at Solution:

• Examined database indexes
• Enabled logging for tracking query
• processing Performed testing using small data

sets

Query: What might be the reason for this issue during simultaneous requests, and what measures can be taken to enhance performance in such a situation?

The version of the OS is Ubuntu 22.04. When I checked the temperature with sensors command, one of the SSDs shows high temperature in one of the sensors (Sensor 1), but OK Composite temperature.

• Adapter: PCI adapter

• Composite: +48.9°C (low = -40.1°C, high = +89.8°C) (crit = +93.8°C)

• Sensor 1: +70.8°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)

• Sensor 2: +40.9°C (low = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)

Why is the Sensor 1 temperature so high and should I do anything about it? It may be the SSD sitting under the GPU (RTX6000 series), but the GPU is currently idle and the GPU itself is 31°C.

Everything works fine—the VLAN is functioning as it should.

Perhaps this isn't a problem, but I'd like to understand the reason for the warning messages.

I tried removing the renderer: the warning messages remain.

I have a gaming PC having Zotac RTX 5060 Ti 16GB. I installed Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, 25.10, 26.04 beta, but in all of these versions the Nvidia GPU driver can't install. I tried to install 550, 570, 580 and 590. After installation on reboot a black screen appears.

I encountered a kernel panic during Ubuntu 22.04 installation on a ZTE server (Hygon C86 CPU). What could be causing this?

Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS

Linux 6.17.0-22generic

It's not seeing the cabled modem or WiFi, and cable hotspot too. Headphones are also not working, and it seems to be ignoring the graphics card. Are there any other options I can use to try to fix this, so I can try to revert the update?

It was working OK before, although RSSEED32 has been broken for a few months, so the corresponding Cruid? had been disabled. I believe it was some kind of workaround for an unfixable physical security flaw.

I have found similar questions, but the suggested methods didn't work for me. Basically every time I boot I get a lot of these errors. dmesg shows that this occurs several times before the system gives up with usb 3-2-port3: unable to enumerate USB device.

I have searched a lot, but nothing seems to be working. Here's things I have done/noticed:

• Cleaning, unplugging everything, restarting, removing battery, ...

• lsusb -t doesn't list anything with bus 3 port 2.3

• I think the faulty device is the fingerprint reader, since it never worked properly and now I noticed that the laptop doesn't even detect it anymore (and I don't see any device resembling it when running lsusb)

• I can't lock it from the bios. I tried to lock other devices just to try, like the entire touchpad (on which the fingerprint reader sits), but the error persists.

• I tried writing a udev rule to unauthorize the device, but it didn't work.

I don't really know what to try anymore, but the problem is really annoying, since it occurs every time I "unsuspend" or boot my system, and sometimes shutdown and suspend freeze for some time before succeeding, and I think it's because of this.

I'm on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. I sometimes edit large numbers of audio clips according to some set rules, and I have a macro set up in Audacity that does exactly what I want. Unfortunately, if I run this macro on 20-50 files or so, Audacity's dialog boxes pop up and seize focus every time one of the files is processed with the macro. This means I basically need to stop using my computer while it's running, since I can't do anything else for more than a second or three at a time before Audacity interrupts me. Depending on the number and size of the files, this can take 5-15 minutes at a time.

I've tried a variety of ways to mess with focus raising and focus stealing settings to make Audacity work quietly in the background, including using CompizConfig Settings Manager to modify the Focus & Raise Behavior, and running Audacity in a different workspace to my main workspace. I also tried a couple of other one-off suggestions I found scattered around the web as well that I can't remember. All to no avail.

I don't really mind how I do it and what levers I have to pull. I just want a way to let Audacity run its macros without interrupting anything else I'm doing on the computer. Is there some way to achieve this?

24.04 LTS: Launching the ubuntu guide (blue question mark icon), shows a working 'hand' pointer for a few seconds then freezes (no mouse or keyboard) requiring a hard reset. Never used the guide before so it may have always been broken.

Is there a way to identify all the changes that have been made to a specific install of 24.04? If I wanted to go back to a point before I installed package x and its dependancies, I would at least need to list all packages by date of install.

Running Ubuntu 25.10 and during a recent update my WiFi strength indicator dropped to one bar even though signal strength is strong. How can I fix? My WiFi adapter is an Intel AX210NGW 6E however the issue started with my original adapter that came in a Dell Inspiron 15 notebook computer. My actual signal strength is -49 dBm:

We have a payment system currently running windows 10 on Raspberry Pi's. A Linux platform is now in development instead.

Right now we can access those RPI's via Teamviewer over a MiniPC or an Intel Stick in each location.

Making to move to Linux, it makes sense to transform those MiniPC's to Ubuntu Server (jumphost) and connect to the PI's through SSH.

I have installed Ubuntu Server 24.04 on one of them.

Now I just need to get a connection through on the LAN adapter.

Got a script on how-to from the developers off our payment system.

Netplan for this.

Changing parameters to this.

And that's where the guide sort of ends.

When I save it, what should I call it?

It suggests the same name as when I opened Netplan, but that can't be right.

I asked Gemini, but that's just as unclear as the guide.

I installed Ubuntu 24.04 on a Mac with Intel chips. But when the first screen appeared where I would select the language, the screen froze, no movement of arrow keys or mouse was possible.

I was trying to use openbox login in session at startup (the light bluescreen ofLubuntu 22.04 where I can choice Lubuntu or lxqt or OpenBox (I am specking about this openbox of start up I mean session login, and not about window manager of Lubuntu session).

I use Lubuntu 22.04 with2 GB RAM so I was thinking that open box would be an interesting alternative..

Lubuntu has openbox, I don't need to download openbox

I was trying because I failed to use openbox: the terminal from menu popup do nothing. and the pop up menu only work gnome charmap and tint2

I installed (I saw vids on yout...) obmenu tint2 and terminals: Terminator, xterm an lxterminal from my distro (now 5 was uninstalled) because never I could use terminal ...

What is the terminal that openbox use?

Thank you and Regards!

I was editing a file that I assume was originally created with MS Office power point. When I was done with my edits and saved the file, LibreOffice added blue dots and a box with text "Responsible: Text" on every page. How do I remove them?

I had an identical machine HP 14s dq3xxx with absolutely no problem running 24.04.4
Except one coffee spill too many and it died.

New Laptop came with Win 11, turned off Bit Locker, installed 24.04.4.
On installation I turned Windows Bitlocker off. Just like last time.
Only the hard drive has gone, the only drive is described as a "card reader".
Has anyone got any thoughts on what I've done?

Thanks. Paul

I am about 3-4 weeks new to Ubuntu, downloading it in a bid to not install Windows 11, and for those weeks I've been trying my hardest to get my Steam games working on this device, to no avail.

Some games do work. I was able to get PEAK working on my computer after a LOT of setup, and single player games/really old point and clicks (e.g. Dave the Diver, Sam and Max Hit the Road, IHNMAIMS) work perfectly (though this could just be because of how simplistic they are).

Games such as Deadlock, Marvel Rivals, and The Outlast Trials, more high-fidelity games with a high amount of multiplayer however don't boot up. The best I've gotten is Deadlock, which I've been able to get the launch screen up until it crashes. Unfortunately all the answers I've seen on this website are either not working, or are simply too complex for my newbie brain to comprehend. I have gamemode installed and configured, GeProton is installed and applied to all desired games, ProtonTricks is installed, though I have no idea idea how to use it, and my Driver package is nvidia-driver-535.

Here is the last terminal log I recorded with Deadlock, gained by running Steam through Terminal. If I had to guess what the problem was, it would be the system is not recognizing libgamemode.so, despite it being on the device.

Please help me with this. I'm at my wits end, am not going back to Windows for the life of me, and I not really welcome to the idea of booting another OS such as Arch and drafting all my files to that system just to have a better chance. It's already been a pain in the ass just to get Ubuntu working.

I am using ubuntu24.04.2, and suddenly wifi, bluetooth, and screen brightness disappeared from the icons in the screen above right. And when I go to wifi or blutooth in settings, it tells me that wifi adapter and bluetooth not found. What may be the problem. NOTE: They were existent before, but they suddenly disappeared

I am contacting you in order to receive help to repair my Ubuntu OS. Two weeks ago I tried to install a protection against viruses and other cyber threats on my Ubuntu 22.04 system, but I did something wrong, which resulted in the APP Center being completely deleted and therefore, the applications for Mozilla Firefox, Chromium, Music Player as well as Clementine, among other applications, being uninstalled. To try to solve the problem, I upgraded from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04, thinking that all the packages would be reinstalled and everything would go back to normal. But that was not the case, now everything remains the same and the software updater does not work when installing updates, warning me that: The package system is broken. I would greatly appreciate your help in this regard. My laptop is a Lenovo G50-70 and the OS is Ubuntu 24.04.

I have a strange thing I cannot figure out. Have checked manpages, etc. So hoping someone else had the same issue.

To convert from a normal .list file to a .sources file, as is now used in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, I will use tor as an example:

Old way (tor.list):

deb [arch=amd64> signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jammy main
deb-src [arch=amd64> signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jammy main

New Way (tor.sources):

Types: deb
URIs: https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org
Suites: jammy
Components: main
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg

The problem I have is this:

In the tor.sources, from what I can find, there is no way to specify the arch / architecture. I've tried arch, architecture, system, etc. Nothing works.

This is the error I get:

N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jammy InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'

I know this is a cosmetic thing and it mostly just effects logs, etc. But, simply finding a way to specify the arch would fix this entirely.

Anyone has any ideas?

• Note: in this example jammy is used, because tor does not yet have noble and jammy does actually work on noble for most repos! This is not the cause of this issue and is not going to solve it :)

• RESPONSE TO BEING DUPLICATE (Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'xxx' doesn't support architecture 'i386') ... That is for Ubuntu 22.04 and discusses ".list" files. ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FORMAT AND NOT AT ALL SAME AS ".sources" files.

I hope you can help me with an issue I've encountered recently.

Setup:

VM Software: VMware Workstation 17.5
Guest OS: Ubuntu 22.04.2
Host OS: Windows 11 22H2
Hardware: Intel CPU, NVIDIA GPU

Background: Everything was working fine until a few days ago.

The Problem: Recently, my Ubuntu VM started freezing intermittently. Here's what happens:

• I can move the cursor, but clicking anywhere doesn't have any effect.
• The keyboard becomes unresponsive and its lights turn off.
• Animations inside the VM, such as window movements and the clock updating, remain functional.
• I can still use CTRL + ALT to switch back to the host, which continues to work normally.
• In rare cases, if I wait for a while, the VM becomes responsive again. However, in most instances, I have to restart it. After a restart, it works fine for a bit but eventually runs into the same problem.

What I've Tried:

• I've searched various forums and tried suggestions such as enabling the enhanced keyboard feature, but it didn't help.
• I attempted to create a new VM from scratch, yet the issue persists.
• I've ensured that the VM has ample memory and threads allocated.

I'm not very knowledgeable about Ubuntu or VMs in general. Can someone guide me on how to solve this problem? What additional information do you need from me to assist further?

Thank you for your time and help!

I have now three hard disks in my desktop. A Samsung SSD that boots Win7, a Toshiba HDD which is not bootable, and yesterday I added a Crucial SSD which boots Ubuntu 21.04.

If I now simply start my computer, Linux on the Crucial will boot..

If at startup I press F11 this allows to choose between these three and surprisingly, a non-existing fourth named "Ubuntu"(?). If I click on the Samsung then Windows will boot, if I click on the Crucial (or Ubuntu) Ubuntu will boot. As you can see on the left of the two pictures:

The right picture shows what I get when press F2, the boot order setting at the ASRock Motherboard, while booting, I only get to "choose" between the identical Crucial and Ubuntu...

I want the Samsung to boot Win7 as default. From what I have heard, I have to do this in Ubuntu, and I know absolutely nothing about it. How do I make this change?

It was suggested to use grub-customizer for this, but as the picture shows, it does not even see the Samsung disk with the Windows.

My Win7 is not an UEFI, it is a legacy installation. Could that be the reason?

Since my update to 18.04.1 last week from 16.04.5 I've been seeing this in my syslog every few minutes:

What does it mean?

This is a generic error message that unfortunately can happen in a number of cases.
How to solve it?

A frequent case for this error message on Debian-based distributions (like   raspbian) is that rsyslog.conf contains the instruction to write to the xconsole pipe, but this pipe is never read. If so, you can simply delete these lines to remove the error message. These lines are usually found at the end of rsyslog.conf.

For other error message, it probably is a good idea to check rsyslog’s issue tracker at github and file a new issue if you can’t find a related case.

I can't see in my /etc/rsyslog.conf file what they mean by "instruction to write to the xconsole pipe"

  Candidate: 8.32.0-1ubuntu4

I have been using Rhythmbox on Ubuntu 14.04 to play music from my iPhone for a while now. Sometimes I get the annoying "initialize your iPhone" dialog box, but I just cancel it, unmount and reconnect my phone, and the problem is solved.

Background: Getting things to work with iOS 10

Recently, I updated to iOS 10, and mounting the iPhone stopped working. I somehow fixed this by cloning libplist, libimobiledevice, libusbmuxd, usbmuxd, and ifuse [note: ifuse doesn't seem necessary if you use gvfs], checking out the master branch in each repo, and installing via

./autogen.sh
make
sudo checkinstall

so that the package versions and dependencies could be managed via dpkg.

For libimobiledevice I also did ./autogen.sh --disable-openssl so that I'd use GnuTLS instead.

Because I had originally installed most of these packages via apt-get, I installed libplist as the dpkg package libplist1, libimobiledevice as libimobiledevice4, and libusbmuxd as libusbmuxd2. I also did echo /usr/local/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libimobiledevice-libs.conf and some extra symlinking when programs complained that /usr/lib/libimobiledevice.so.4 and such were missing.

Getting gvfs to work

ifuse will now successfully mount the iPhone, but my actual goal is to get gvfs to detect and mount the phone so that it'll work with Rhythmbox. I may have needed to do additional symlinking to even get the gvfs-related programs to run, I forget.

If I naively try to plug in my phone at this point, I (with high probability) get the error message Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus). I have to run /usr/lib/gvfs-gvfs-afc-volume-monitor 3+ times until I get lucky enough for the phone to mount; this seems very wrong.

Running sudo usbmuxd -f -v spams me with messages like

New client on fd 19
Client 19 connection closed
Disconnecting client fd 19

over and over, plus an instance of Receive from client fd 19 failed: Connection reset by peer and Connection reset by device 4 (3->62078). Basically, I have no idea why mounting only works intermittently. Things seem to work more often when I run usbmuxd in the foreground with -f, but that may just be confirmation bias.

When I finally do get the phone to mount, Rhythmbox will start and display the "initialize your iPhone" dialog, with two problems: (1) it hangs for a long time while loading this dialog (trying to connect with phone, possibly, or maybe Rhythmbox is just ultra slow?) and (2) if I hit "cancel," I can no longer see the phone mounted on Rhythmbox. Before, after cancelling once, I could unmount and reconnect my phone and the dialog would no longer pop up, but this method is far less reliable because I can't reliably mount my phone! So after all this...

Questions

1. Is there a "more correct" way that I should have gone about the installations from source?
2. How do I get gvfs to reliably mount my phone on the first try?
3. Should I stop using gvfs/rhythmbox and start using ifuse+something else?

I was trying to delete a folder and messed up. I'm getting this error while I'm trying to use sudo:

sudo: error while loading shared libraries: libsudo_util.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How can I fix this?

This is a Dell Inspiron 3551, with Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit preinstalled processor: Intel® Pentium(R) CPU N3540 @ 2.16GHz × 4. Quickly after system update, it starts to crash when booting.

• I don't think it is a duplicate of Freeze after upgrading kernel to 3.13.0-66 (14.04) or 3.19.0-31 (15.04), since it doesn't freeze when login, it crashes as soon as it starts booting.

• Actually 3.13.0-64 never got installed. 3.13.0-65,65,67 are installed, but crash when booting. I need to select 3.13.0-63 generic so it can boot.

I don't know much about Linux. I wanted to try it, that is why I choose a preinstalled Ubuntu. When it crashes, there is a bunch of text ending with a kernel panic.

Crash from September 15 after updating to 3.13.0-63:

I have been stuck on this for months. I built a new PC, and every time I try to run Linux off a live USB drive, I get this kernel panic error after picking "Try Ubuntu" in the grub menu.

I have tried everything. Switching distros, using disks and verifying the bootable USB (It works fine on other PCs).

The motherboard is a MSI Z97 MPOWER and the CPU is an i7 4790K.

I started with Linux a year ago. Few weeks ago it was my idea to install the EFISTUB bootloader.

I used an Live CD to freshly install 12.10, and studied the articles of http://www.rodsbooks.com/ inside out.

The problem I am facing is that few files need to be copied from sda2 (Ext) to sda1 (fat32). I can not find a way to do it?

How do I limit the updates that are installed to those from a specific set of repositories? Is this at all possible?

Before i try to install a program in ubuntu, where can i see how much disk space the package including the needed dependency packages will need. Perhaps a commandline way?
